I was chatting with people in discord, and it seems like everyone has some horror story about ghost drones messing with them. I love ghost drones and want them to stick around, but it seems to me that whenever I see them they are either a. beep booping and flipping around people (which I am 100% in support of, even if it is technically interaction) or b. running around walling off hallways and being a nuisance (which I am 0% in support of).
Currently, the first drone law states "Avoid interaction with any living or silicon lifeforms where possible, with the exception of other drones". I feel like this creates a loophole. So long as they are not interacting with the living, they can get away with quite a bit. For example, they might feel like they should seal up some breaches in a hellburn setup, ruining it in the process. They can do things like walling off plasma fires or kudzu to thwart traitors as well.
I would suggest changing the first drone law to "1. Do not interfere with the living or their plans"
I think this is better because 1. It gets rid of that loophole and 2. Allows for small fun little things like boop beeping at people, being a crewmember's pet, or writing terrible poetry in crayon all over the station.
Also general ghost drone discussion thread.
