I'm all in favor of more ghost roles. However, as with all ideas, remember: Simpler is better, and far more likely to be implemented.
I think that a modified ghost drone with mining tools would be fantastic, as well as a cargo transporter. If it leaves the Z-Level, it immediately shuts down. Should give it an omnitool to also be able to crack open crates and such!
There was another idea thrown around ages ago about the AI being able to essentially recruit ghosts as little helpers with very limited abilities, such as only being able to communicate over Binary poorly due to limited speech. Could even make them a mobile viewport, giving the AI even more eyes, and ones that can respond to commands as to where to watch. I'd imagine that this second ability would be easier to implement than an entire new role.
Personal AIs would also be handy-dandy - other servers have them, after all.
Would also be nice for Roboticists to be able to make synthetic brains which, when put into a borg, will make that borg able to be occupied by a ghost and start a new life - possibly with limited speech capabilities if people metagame too much.
