I support the idea of more diverse loot.
Rock it launchers would be sweet
As would DNA injectors
NPC staff assistants sound great, both of friendly and hostile variants. Experiences like the one Frank describes above are comedy gold.
Most of the other suggested loot is good- except the BFG and insta-kill mobs.
More faustian loot seems good too, like trick revolvers and fake (murderous) captain ID cards. There should be risk involved beyond just the risk in hacking the crate. Bonus points to any nerd with enough space-lore to recognize such items as dangerous, with the bonus doubling if you can get some chump to fuck up with said item.
I also support the idea of the crates getting a few more anti-theft systems added, such as one injecting you with nasty chems. Not pathogens though, that sounds like it would be used to grief the station. But 50u of ketamine and 50u of neurotox sounds like a fun anti-theft system (fun in the sense that its punishing for failure, but not exploit-ably so.) ((suddenly I think of nanites as probably the most amusing chem for injection, a moment before posting))
