AI / camera vision improvement

Despite me bitching about this ENDLESSLY since the AI Eye update, coders have refused to acknowledge that this ever existed. Glad to see I am no longer the only one bitching.

(also if AIs get the ability to see through walls again for gods sake no meson-overlay please)

The cyborg meson overlay honestly feels like garbage because it turns the whole screen green; human ones don't do that. (And it's even dimmer, argh.)

And yeah, I miss the seeing-through-walls part. Some maps are SERIOUSLY not designed for that restriction -- mostly Cog2, where a ton of regular station areas are just... not visible. Even Cog1 has some areas that suffer from this (you can't see the ruckingenur kit in mechanics, and a big spot is missing in the hallway by the pool)

  • An infrared mode for both low lighting and tracking cloaked people, instead of having the AI notice them by default
  • A mode tracking power flow through the station. Hot wires and powered electrical equipment is highlighted
  • An atmospheric tracker for monitoring gas levels throughout the station
Having to swap to different modes would just make playing as AI more of a chore.

Not being able to see cloakers by default would make them even more powerful.
Power flow would be neat, but you can sort of see that through the power monitoring computer.
Atmos tracking was more useful when the air monitors were still in regular use.
