Ah- That's hard to argue with from a balance perspective-- see, I can't imagine any scenario in which a drone would be able to do anything a cyborg CAN'T-- at least, not anything that would be explicitly useful for a mainframeless drone that couldn't otherwise be achieved by a full cyborg- so, objectively, it's just Worse. It's objectively just a Bad Option.
Like in that scenario you outlined-- super fragile, easy to produce, expendable. None of that gives a leg up- unless, notably, you're an AI and your drone dying doesn't matter to you.
but also... i feel like that's kind of the appeal of it? to me, at least. i might sound deranged but I would personally LOVE to be able to play as a super fragile little drone shell.
it's a challenge- it's like hard mode
I can't imagine they'd see. prevelent use. at all, considering it's more intuitive and also more effective to stick the brain in a cyborg.
but I... PERSONALLY think keeping the option THERE would be really nice-- and then balancing the drones around being extensions of the AI anyways. If someone wants to put themselves through being a mainframeless drone that's on them. most people DNR on borging anyways hdsjksgd
And mechanically maybe not traditionally fun- but by god i'm rp-brained and the potential of it there. delightful
of course that's just my thoughts-- if it's a complete dealbreaker item I'll obviously change it, but I think it'd be nice to have as an OPTION-- just. not neccecarily a good one. you know?
