• Genetics computers
  
• Announcement computer
  
• ID console
  
• All QM consoles
  
• Long-range whatever-it-is, the new mining thing
  

• The interface: Current camera system is clunky. Being able to move with speed and accuracy, and with the ability to multi-task should be prioritized
  
• Lack of interaction with crew and station: There is not enough ways to contribute to the running of the station. Paraphrasing someone else, the AI should be able to essentially run every aspect of the station, just much slower and harder than the crew. AI needs a means to achieve this
  

• You can't get a door opened unless someone with access allows you
  
• You can't make the AI say its laws unless you have access to the laws
  
• You can tell the AI to bolt open/closed doors you have access to

UPDATE FROM ADMIN CODER TEAM: All that we have to do with the overmind-style AI is finish some parts of hooking cameras up and then hooking up the actual being in the floaty thing part. However, if something AI related is to be worked on, this is probably top priority for us.

There's the sprite. "Now, what the heck is it?" you might be asking.

The idea is simple. In its current state, the AI upload is incredibly vulnerable. At the slightest mention of the AI upload being open, the entire crew rushes in hoping to get their Cheetos-stained fingers on the law modules. It's then a free-for-all to see who can upload laws the quickest with the click of a button. With this, I hope to eliminate that ease of access and add a little time to the upload process. Here's how it would work:

• The mainframe lockers (4-6) sit in the AI upload chamber bolted to the floor.
• Each mainframe holds a module inside with a law (or blank module) inside.
• A command level ID (or packet tomfoolery) is required to unlock the mainframe locker.
• Once unlocked and opened, unscrew the module from its holder.
• Pluck the module from the console with the aforementioned cheetos-stained fingers.
• Click the module in-hand to edit the current law written on the module.
• Replace the module, screw it in place, and watch as the world burns.

• Bot Command: Let the AI direct the various robots around the station. Commands should be simple, like "Go/stay here"  or "Follow that" Send medbots to an injured crewman, send securitrons to backup an officer, floorbots to repair breeches. Add new bot types for taking care of other areas like botany, and cargo
  
• Beefier AI Drones: Add modules for the AI drones that will let them handle performing tasks that Bots cannot
  
• Bookmarking: Place a bookmark on a tile or mob and assign it to a number key. Simply press that number to have your view travel to that spot
  
• Waypoints: Someone need help finding something or someone? Set a waypoint for it by clicking it and naming it, and let people use trackers or PDA apps to guide them to the location. No need to give them constant verbal updates. Tag messes, breaches, dead bodies, fugitives from the law, and notify the appropriate human
  
• Different vision modes: Cycle through different visions to help filter out information. Different vision types could include:
  

1. Heat signatures - filters everything as a dark blue, while popping out humans, monkeys, and borgs as a bright orange. Useful for finding people in dark areas
   
2. Atmospheric - filters everything as dark green. Tiles that contain gasses are brightly colored various pinks, oranges, reds based on what type of gas is prominent. Useful for spotting breaches
   
3. Electrical - filters everything dark red. Electrical currents are highlighted a bright white, with intensity in proportion to the amount of power flowing through. Useful for detecting power outages and sinks
   

• Fast Access Records: Click a person and get all of their records (Medical, Security, Payroll) brought up in one easy to use source that's editable. No hunting down a computer to set someone to arrest, or give them a raise. 
  
• PDA Tracking: Someone not on your cameras? As long as they have a PDA registered to them and messaging is turned on, you can still locate them. (Probably need to know how the Overmind view is going to handle areas out of camera view, but a little blip in unseeable areas might be one way, the other is just giving you the room name and maybe an XY coordinate)
  
• Holograms: AI gets to project a holographic version of itself, as well as the ability to scan people and items to create replications, that can exist anywhere in view of it's cameras. They can't interact with anything (though the AI can still control electronics around it) and people can pass through it causing a shimmering effect of the sprite.
