Right now pAIs are useless, unless you are new, and new players do not know where they are found or if they even exist. I think pAIs shold have some improvements:
Apart from the health that pAIs have, add also a battery which cannot be removed or upgraded, recharged from a cable someone has to connect to a PDA or an APC, the PDA would be very slow but with no risks (it can also connect to cyborg rechargers, mechs, mules... But it will have a chance of damaging the pAI, damaging its battery or electrocuting it for 15 seconds; if there is a large amount of power in the power grid the APC can be somewhat risky)
While in chasis form, be able to have one "hand" being able to grab a small object or pull with a 30% speed reduction a medium object.
While in chasis form, be able to push buttons such as light switches and open doors which anyone without and id could open.
Only by order or previous order of its DNA master, be able to electrify itself while not in chasis mode. This can be done with +power or -power, each one costs a different amount of battery percentage and leads to various outcomes, including falling off of someones pocket/hands or making someone fall and be stuned without any damage for 2 seconds for -power and eletrocuting someone and dealing burn damage, with a small chance of a desfibrilation effect and an even smaller chance of using up to 80% of the battery life for +power
While in chasis form, consume more battery than in normal form and have less resistance to attacks and instead of collapsing back to normal when interacted or hit by someone keep on chasis form. The pAI can be interacted with to collapse it, but only by the master (if the master did not insert his DNA enzymes then anyone can do this
This things could lead to a more active use of pAI, maybe restricted to command, who knows!
