I voted yes. There's literally nothing wrong with someone who wants to start as a ghostdrone, and would prevent that weirdo immediately suiciding at roundstart to become one. To provide you with a small example, sometimes I'm on the laptop, in bed, my mousepad far away and i'm not arsed investing myself in the game. A ghostdrone provides a low risk:low reward element where it doesn't matter how well your doing or how quickly your doing it, by fixing stuff you're making a small but positive impact on the round. And if you die, it don't matter either!
There might be a point to be made that this might cause players just to spawn in as ghost drones constantly, but we're talking about a handful of players at most who do this, so it's fairly moot.
In terms of your other points
Does clicking with the door (i.e: something that doesn't interact directly with the door such as a screwdriver/crowbar/multitool/etc), let's say a torch, does this not open the door? Or does the door just completely ignore you no matter how you interact with it? I recall you can just smack the door, unless this has been changed.
I don't see why not. Personally, I'd like to see ghostdrones being able to send requests directly to the AI (also alerting other ghost drones) in the form of alerts. Basically anything that involves the structure of the ship such as Fire Alert, Breach Alert, Malfunction Alert and of course.. Door Alert. The AI could communicate directly with the ghost drones too (machinetalk is probably the best way to do this) but the ghost drones can only really fart out alerts. For hilarity, follow the clown while announcing Malfunction Alert. This is a complete tangential suggestion, but it was one that was raised before.
The window spam bug is as old as time, i'm afraid.

Quote:Give ghostdrones a toggleable option to have doors operate as if human i.e. they block you and open automatically if you have access. This will make dragging things across the station much easier.

Quote:For gods sake, give ghostdrones chemistry access. That place blows up at least twice a round and I can never get air canisters in there.
