Changelings, and why they're just too damn powerful

[BaneOfGiygas]

See, here's the big problem here. The main thought process behind the Changeling is that it's a big huge monstrosity that requires a good portion of the crew banding together and coming up with a plan to take the thing down, even if that plan is just "run at it with lasers".

The inherent problem is that trying to get any more than maybe two or three people to cooperate on this server is difficult to the point of infamy, and the sheer number of crew members who fail to give a shit when a changeling's running around serves to make the changeling infinitely more difficult to beat.
