That's just the thing: Cooperation can be incredibly hit-or-miss on Space Station 13, and I can guarantee you that the number of antags who upload laws and never so much as speak to me again outnumbers those who actually try and cooperate with me whenever I'm an AI. Cyborgs are more likely to help out, but it's still possible that they can completely ignore you in favor of RCDing the bar into space or whatever.
Self-sufficiency is really what I'm proposing here. The fact that the station AI, a high and mighty computer that surveys just about the entire station, has to rely so heavily on other people to reliably fuck shit up is, to be perfectly honest, rather disappointing and a bit misleading as far as the tone is concerned. The lack of cooperation isn't just on the side of traitors and cyborgs, either: Some AIs immediately start reaching for the airlock controls when they go rogue and never consider any other options due to their esotericness, initial difficulty, or reliance on other players.
