Handspiders shouldn't be able to use pods - locusts - 02-24-2017
Look, we've all had fun being a handspider flying a pod around, but it's time for the halcyon days to end. Let's be honest, piloting the strelka as a handspider is a pretty cheap tactic that's happening more and more often, and it's not like changelings need this advantage. Plus, it makes no sense! A solitary screeching hand couldn't drive a car, let alone a pod!

i think it should take two to pilot a pod
one to steer it and one to press the gas pedal

Never knew this was a thing and yeah I agree that sounds pretty awful.

Ban anything that isn't explicitly a human mob from using pods, in my opinion. Robots and shells don't even have hands to drive.

I know we're currently in 'nerf everything' mode and competing to be the biggest spoilsport, but no. Taking pods away from borgs/the AI renders a significant portion of the map out of their reach, and we don't really need any more reasons for people to scream and immediately suicide upon being borged. Plus, I believe the topic came up on a previous thread, the consensus was that they could probably interface electronics with them or something.
Aside from that, probably yes for handspiders, fairly ambivalent on other mobs - though handspiders aside, there's few other nonhuman mobs that actually cause much trouble if given pod access.

Yeah I think borgs and AIs being able to use centcom equipment and pods makes since they are both creations of Centcom. I could believe that they could integrate with other Centcom systems such as pods.

Do you guys really care that a hand spider is driving a pod? Or did a handspider go on a rampage with it?

Pods are only particularly dangerous in 2 situations:
1) Artypods, which basically take a hellburnin' engineer to do these days, and
2) Pods on shuttles, which I'm not sure handspiders can even do by themselves.
Without those you just get some asshole pew-pewing the hanger pods and taking potshots at people in hallways. Not a big deal, really.
