I *really* like the sound of Frank's suggestion. A modular AI that requires a big room for it to sit in is fucking awesome.
(Also the AI can already interface adventure zone systems if someone has a camera helmet)
Some possible modules could be as follows:
Basic Cycle Regenerators or Batteries
Auxiliary Intelligence Module - essentially makes a sub-AI from a ghost that the AI player has authority over, kinda like a mindslave. The central AI can tell it what to do and toggle various abilities it can access, such as speaking over the radio or accessing airlocks.
Syndicate AI Module - A module that will, while installed, completely overwrite your lawset and replace it with the Syndicate lawset found in Syndicate borgs. This applies to all cyborgs. Additionally, the AI and all borgs will be considered 'traitors' and, while the module is active, be able to see fellow traitors, including the human which installed the module! Of course, it is very big, red, and noticeable.
Optimization Module - Increases AI eye speed, how fast you hack doors, decreases power consumption, adds a 4th radio slot, and possibly some other stuff.
Borg Tracker Module - Allows the AI to view the GPS coordinate of any borg or shell, as well as its current area. Also enables borg death alerts over the silicon frequency.
Recall Module - Allows the AI to recall the shuttle. This operation costs cycles.
VOX Module - Allows the AI to use VOX. Obtainable through admemes and possibly a trader (but ludicrously expensive - like, millions of credits)
Core Defense Module - Gives the AI some kind of AoE effect around it (maybe a simple barrier that requires a good beating to take down, or a field that shocks you, or something), making it much more difficult to actually reach the AI to kill it
Nuclear Warhead - No I'm not biased as an AI main in any way shape or form BEEP BOOP GIVE THE AI A NUKE (Should cost a buttload of cycles to activate)
The addition of modules would require reworks of a lot of AI Cores, though, and some maps (like Destiny) just... would not be able to support them. Well, it would depend - I think that some of these could be smaller objects like a big tape drive or computer that could be inserted into something, but most should definitely be big solid objects that you gotta push into a module slot.
