It definitely sounds like a good idea, but I think the tricky part would be the objectives. I think a new antag with the whole Terminator feel would be pretty cool. Perhaps the goal lies in electronics? Maybe if the Replicant becomes more powerful as he/she subverts systems around the station? Maybe fiddling with APCs or something will give him/her a power boost, but also slowly leaks power from that sector like a mini Power Sink.
As for Replicant tests.... We already have the blood test for Changeling (which is good, mind you), so maybe there should be a different test? Maybe the Replicant's eyes glow red or something in the dark, or after being flashed/jolted with electricity their eyes change color?
Just some dumb ideas. I just think the white blood might be a bit easy because everyone is constantly robusting everyone else on the station. Finding the Replicant would be as easy as an accidental toolbox to the head, right?
