Enabling 2-way machine talk would allow the AI or other silicons to help drones get to hard to reach breaches.
As for "Hey my corpse is over there!" That's usually as simple as farting on the AI.
That gives the AI your name, and the fact that you're clearly dead, so any so-inclined AI player can just Track you and find you.
Or you can chairspin medbay.
Or you can weegee board.
But all this is moot because the real point of Ghost Drones is to give something constructive and useful for dead players to do, keep people occupied, and paying attention in case they get cloned or something. Make being a drone less boring than being a saltyghost and you've got engagement. Make it engaging and you've got breach repair. Repair breaches and the round is more fun.
