Aight I edited it a bit with balancing and so on.
Ikea would love to hear what you think now. Still terrible? Without being sarcastic. Would love to see this thing done but also time effort so eeeeh.
(Also everyone free to suggest etc. Its just brainstorming until)
May be overkill with mechanics but I would love to see this idea forming and there's plenty to adjusting of course.

Quote:Ed2: (for balance suggestion)
However Syndicate resources and focused radio dishes do not come lightly.
* The Person who finishes the syndicate AI has a 50% chance to get corrupted comms with:
replacing every letter within a sentence according to ASCII hacker shenanigans:
I=1, e=3, 4=a, 7=t, 8=s and so on.
* If syndicate AI goes nuts with actions per minute, it will radiate deadly S-Rays, due to the distance to their syndicate Mainframe.
Doing low radiation damage to the robust Nanotraser crew, as they are already used to torture. But rather deadly to any syndicate spy.... Any highly visable!
( Take the random explosive radiation event as example for effects. Limit syndie AI with 'actions'. Opening Caps door = 50 actions. Opening EVA = 25, opening staffass door = 5. ETC With a maximum of 100 before it goes to emitting S-Rays....
Wait we can also level this.
Level 1 - 100 Actions ... Emits a small radioactive circle once (default length)
Level 2 - 200 Actions ... Emits a small radioactive circle every minute (default lengh)
Level 3 - 400 Actions ... Emitted circle size is increased by 2x
Level 4 - 800 Actions ... *You have overdone it. You are now heavily radiating your syndicate puppets.* ... Activate radioactive damage for antags.
Level 5 - 1000 Actions ... *You either went to far of the station is already gone. Either way, you do not serve any purpose anymore* ... Initiate self-construction.
)
And ultimately once the AI has been built. To establish syndicate communication, packets need to be hacked on a big scale.
To overcome the shutter, ANY radio recording will be played once the AI is established (including nukie radio recordings for funnies and RNG)
And because those fancy syndicate dishes need to focus on our precious station. The syndicate AI cannot leave the z-level or connection will be lost.
May be overkill with mechanics but I would love to see this idea forming and there's plenty to adjusting of course.
