Handspiders shouldn't be able to use pods

[locusts]

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.

[Ed Venture]

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.

You wouldn't download a pod would you?

You guys aren't the boss of me

[Maegor]

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.

alright if handspiders are gonna be allowed to use pods because of fiat then I'm going to abuse the fuck out of that ability

What's there to abuse?
