going inside walls is a perfectly acceptable magic power. the ai chambers just need a little improving to discourage effortlessly snuffing/subverting it.
only one square would really need to be made phase-proof, the one that the ai itself sits on. then the stupid useless grilles and windows can be removed and replaced with 4 thin plasma glass windows that surround only the ai. the blast doors can stay. voila the ai's bodily security is now actually relevant because the windows and grilles are gone and not blocking the stun bolts anymore
"but misto" you say "4 weeny plasma glass windows wont protect the poor ai from a fireball" thats why the blast doors are still there. you hear a wizard? you shut your blast doors, then he cant fireball you without phasing his ass into the blast doors and probably fireballing himself at point blank range, while you could drop the blast doors at any moment and get him shot. i have calculated this to be at least a billion percent more defensible than the current useless piece of shit grilles and windows that do nothing but block your own stun shots
the upload chamber just below can be improved by
1. move the computers and the table that holds the modules away from the walls to give the turrets relevant fields of fire
2. at least 1 more turret, in the center preferably.
you may need to make the upload room bigger to accomodate all this. are you afraid of running out of room? its on the outer edge of the station. are you afraid of it blocking the crate conveyor belt shooter things? then move them farther north a bit to make room.
if its not possible to make the ais one square it sits on phase-proof then uhhh i guess hes fucked? maybe it could have a little stun-glove or stun baton like power as a last desperate hail mary? it doesnt have fucking legs so its not like it would be walking around stunning people
