Martian Mode
If anything, the Biomancer seems fairly underpowered, and very lacking in punchy abilities outside of support.  Maybe they could be given bonuses to piloting the cruiser? Overseeing a gigantic bio-mechanical warship seems fitting given their status as biologists.

I'd also suggest rolling most of their chemical-based abilities into a special flamethrower-style piece of gear, renamed as a "chem-thrower" or "bio-thrower".

The chemthrower would accept large capsules (Similar to the fuel tanks accepted by flamethrowers) of various different chemicals to spray both over stuff. For example:

  • Vicerite Foam Capsule:  
A mass-repair tool for the martian cruiser. Creates a large radius of regenerative purple bio-goo, which acts in a similar way to metal foam, filling in holes in the cruisers hull. It'll also fix the cruiser's various martian devices and weapons hardpoints very quickly.    

  • Martian Brew Capsule: 
A large capsule full of martian brew. Can be sprayed over other martians for a stimulant effect, or sprayed over humans to horribly mutate them.

  • Mind-Breaker Capsule: 
A capsule containing a shed-load of hallucinogenics, depressants and various other nasty drugs. Reduces humans to a stumbling, hallucinating mess, but takes a while to take effect.

  • Bio-Regeneration Capsule: 
When sprayed over martians, provides a small amount of healing. When sprayed over humans, however, it acts as a disease reagent, inflicting them with a "Martian Flu" disease that will slowly polymorph them into a small martian critter. Martian flu can be cured with cyroxydone treatment.

  • Nerve-Toxin Capsule: 
Contains a load of Martian nerve-toxin, an inferior variant of neurotoxin that has increased time to KO, vastly reduced KO time, and more damage per life-tick. Useful for capturing humans alive.

  • Incendiary Capsule 
Contains a self-igniting flammable liquid, which will turn the chemthrower into a flamethrower. The effect is similar to an ordinary flamer.

  • Molecular Acid Capsule: 
Contains molecular acid foam, a horrible acidic substance that'll eat through walls, floors and people with equal speed. Very expensive to buy, and more than a little overkill, as the skeletal remains it leaves behind provide very little psi-matter or bio-matter.
