So here's my half-baked idea for a game mode, feel free to tell me if its shit.
At the start of the round several random non-head, non-sec (much like rev) crew members will be selected as synthetics. The goal of the synthetics is to hijack the escape shuttle by making sure no living crew are on board when it arrives at Centcom. Synthetics should be fairly stronger and tougher than the average human, perhaps they should also not require internals. All synthetics, in addition to getting a small icon denoting who in view is and is not a synthetic (much like in nuke ops or rev), can silently speak through a radio channel much like the robotic talk available to the AI and borgs.
The only way to determine if someone is a synthetic or not is by placing them on an operating table and digging in, much like you would to remove an implant.
Their tools would be as follows:
- A Voice Change, much like the changeling's ability and traitor item
- Shapeshift, again much like the changeling's ability
and thats all, both would not cost anything but be on a cooldown.
I'm erring on the side of making them weak because cool abilities can always be added later, and it demonstrates what I'm going for. A connected group that individually would get easily taken out by the crew, but can communicate and pool their resources to achieve their goal.
