[CLOSED PR] Remove RCD from ghostdrones
#29
I'm on the fence here. I love ghost drones, it's the role I started out playing as when I came to Goonstation, helped me learn a lot of controls and mechanics in a pretty relaxing way. Due to Goonstation being public, there's always going to be a new idiot who removes floor tiles or windows, it's just inevitable.

My favorite solution is definitely what Frank_Stein said, but it involves actual developer time and effort.

Just a robot that can be built that any ghost can hop into and do what they already do now. If one is acting out of line, have a method like kill switching to permanently boot them from any new drone bodies for the rest of the round.
This would put them in line with Cyborgs and give Roboticist more to do, which I believe they desperately need. Perhaps stations can start with one built ghostdrone and any further will have to be built manually. 

My second and third solutions that I like are both band-aid fixes. Removing the RCD and giving them the standard construction materials, sheets, rods and such like Cyborgs is a fine solution, if a bit slow compared to an RCD. Alternatively, why not just.. disable the ability for ghostdrones to deconstruct at all with the RCD? I rarely ever deconstructed stuff, and you'd still be able to do walls manually with some work, but you wouldn't be able to just delete flooring and walls. They're here to repair after all. If you want to deconstruct large areas and build cafes, I believe a Cyborg would be better suited both mechanically and rules-wise.
