The other hallucinogens could work in similar ways to mess more with the player than the spaceman. Something like randomizing the appearance of mobs and objects, changing the descriptions of things and actions, generally making it even harder to figure out what's going on.
Also those hallucination critters that pop out of you? They could actually affect your spaceman! They could do minor brain damage, knock you over, hurt your stamina, block your path, stuff that'd make those phantom cats and dragons slapping you less utterly ignorable. They could spawn a ways away from you and close in a bit more slowly. And with that, you could fight back against them! They'd be killable by anything lethal, including gunfire, even if it's someone else shooting!
If wearing prodocs: people's health doesn't display correctly, if you scan with an analyzer the results randomize
People show up as monsters, like a man eater
Limbs temporarily act like they don't exist
Traitor weapons (csaber or spacker for example) play off in the near distance
Structures disappear as if it were a spy round
PDAs display win various fonts
Random teleporters appear in places that are purely hallucinations
Hallucinations can cause harm, too scary may have a small chance to cause cardiac failure
Your character may react correctly to some affects (getting hit by magic missile causes the character to fall for a shorter period than if it actually hit you)
Players look like monkeys or bees
Hallucinations of players gibbing around you but no blood appears
Soft laughter heard when near maint
People's sprites just don't show up
Unable to move for a short period of time
Character will stop freaking out if you hold a weapon
Character will panic more if you stand still
Random tiles look like theyre breaches to space when they're not
That idea sounds fun!
