remove the ability of pods to enter the escape shuttle

edit: sundance while you're at it, add borg chargers or some kind of borg and ai seats to the shuttle

The AI is sentient yes? 
So the escape shuttle should arrive with a shell inside the cockpit for the AI to deploy to when it is time.

What? The problem isn't with the number of shells, it's that no synthetics can buckle into chairs, and ALL of them get stunned when the shuttle leaves.

I guess having a shell or something so the AI doesn't have to send a shell down there is helpful too though. It'd have to only work once the shuttle arrives

Yeah that's more my point basically, instead of needing to prep / conserve a shell for escape, the AI can focus on aiding the escape effort and deploy at the last second. But yeah it should probably come with a charging dock or something to keep it from bonking it's head.
