More Forklift Cargo Options

[Erev]

So beautiful, that it's not in the changelogs. I'm presuming it was bad news, in that the AI shells could no longer operate a pod. Last minute revision perhaps?

I feel like the AI should be able to control anything electrical. Pods, forklifts, floorbuffers. I'd like someone to give me a concise reason to the contrary as I'm failing to see from a gameplay and a logic aspect (and a fun aspect) why the AI shouldn't.

I don't want to get too far sidetracked from forklift cargo in this thread (not that there's much debate about it for or against), but I do agree as a semi-frequent AI player that it would be nice to see the AI able to do more. Honestly, such a thing is probably worth its own thread both from the amount of ideas available AND the controversy involved.
