I'm in favor of the flavor of this, but its already beginning to go bad. Any traits the AI gets should NOT make it more robust, at least not outright such as stronger body or anything fancy. Maybe some fun traits, or even the ability to start the game as an AI Borg shell, instead of the hard-docked one. But please none that make evil ai's even worse in any way.
The AI is, undoubtably, the most robust role on the station. Not everyone can do it, but lemme build a nightmare AI for you and you tell me what perks you want it to have access to...
Evil AI teleports itself off station as measure 1 - you're not likely to get me if im hidden on the mining station. Doubly so if i've gone to borg shell or gotten a borg to help fortify my evil lair.
For double measure, How about I open a can of plasma and teleport it in the room im bunkered down in.... that aught to stop intruders, so maybe I wont go the extra mile and bring a rogue securitron into my lair as well... that might be excessive
Ok, depower sec equipment so they cant charge guns or vend shit, and all their little outpost checkpoints...they probably dont know im rogue...yet.
AI fortifies telescience by depressurizing all nearby departments and bolting and etc... Ok, now they know im rouge, so its on to the tele-bombing everything with plasma and welder tanks...Buddies to purge....ok, got that... Better lock down EVA and medbay so they can't easily breathe...
Hmm, murder them by hand now, or do I take the time to open all the external airlocks and maint doors?
Edit: Oh yeah, and please no traits that make the crew assume the AI is rogue when it is not. Avoid traits that "randomly" make the AI do shit, as the crew could never know if the AI was truly afflicted with some trait or was just doing shit because they can
