So currently the mindslave cloner has two things that occur when someone gets it:
It is either:
-Installed into medbay and instantly removed and trashed
-Installed on some random maint cloner, which I have seen cause people who are antag fishing to go and get a scan in it with minimal RP to justify it and what not
Both of these are very obviously poor, and have very low success rates for the huge cost of the cloner. I'm not saying it cant work, but in general, and especially on RP, it is significantly more difficult to convince someone to hop in the pod of the giant red flashing cloner.
The idea is for a minor buff to the Mindslave Cloner with a new item that comes with it, a hand scanner.
It would work similarly to a mechanics scanner, however would take 1-1.5 seconds to complete a full scan of a person. From there the scan can be transported back to the mindslave cloner console and have their records inserted.
So this way you don't need to transport people or bodies long distances, you can scan them, kill them, then go back to wherever your cloner is and insert the scan and clone them.
If I am remembering correctly, the mindslave cloner is 8 TC and can be almost instantly disabled as soon as anyone spots it with relative ease. I think this would balance it out to being less of a realtively useless traitor item, and allow for different RP than just "hey, want to get a clone scan in my 'totally not antag maker' cloner?".
---------
it is to be noted that while I have had my fair share of time on main, I've never seen a snowball of a mindslave cloner, I'm not saying it hasn't happened, I've just never seen people take that over the c-saber or literally anything else.
