I just avoid using hostile human NPCs much on the map. Drones feeling robotic makes sense, but silently angry yet normal-looking human mobs stand out weirdly I think. Also been cautioned against using them by other coders. Might use more after some needed mob optimization work though.
At one point back in goonstation history, ~mport~ made some godawful space area that was just full of combative human NPCs shooting at... zombies? Other NPCs? Idk. Whatever it was, it constantly made the game crawl to a halt with nobody around to even see it happening.
