Re: What Mordent said, I agree, I think drones functioning as a lesser cyborg for AIs is the main draw, and the first step to removing AI-controlled cyborgs-- but I don't see why that neccessitates drones not being able to be used with brains.
The hardwired SHELL/[AI] prefix to the name of the drone is a pretty clear indicator that it's an AI shell rather than a brain-- it works fine as a tell for who to blame with existing AI-controlled cyborgs.
So having drones as a sort of middle ground where both brains and interfaces work doesn't seem all that harmful to me..
With the modules... I wouldn't be opposed to the hardwiring either, but I don't really see what difference it makes mechanically.. having to run over to a docking station every time is probably slower than just having a different drone on each module anyways hdskg
AND in relation to the medical module- Yeah, the menders were a bit much- I've tried downgrading them to regular menders downgraded with a 50u cap that need to be manually refilled with actual reagent, and I could definitely remove the cybernetic hypo in exchange for either a normal hypospray or just entirely. The patch boxes might also be good if you all think that traditional menders are still a bit much.
