[Ven's] Idea how to make pAI more interesting.

[Venuska1117]

Soo... i like to play pAI but its sad how it is partially useless it is, yes it have door jack, some huds and stuff, but i wish that there was more "types" of pAI and more softwares depending on interactions.

pAI hackign and softwares:

Give person ability to "hack" pAI software and enable blocked functions for pAI's with normal software don't support, like:
[10] Elastic Chassis - Allow pAI to vent crawl
[10] Size Change - Allow pAI to "hide" under objects or crawl under doors
[20] Sensitive Lenses - Allow pAI see better in darkness (something like unathi/voulp darkness vision)
[15] Stable Body - Give pAI ability to drag "small" objects or other pAI's
[5] Body Bonded - pAI will suicide if its owner die (automatical)
[10] Recording Memory - Give pAI ability to record 30seconds of tape before need to clear it, owner need click "print record" in pAI menu


pAI have 8 cables, each of them is responsible for pAI functions, such as:
Speaking - pAI will be unable to speak (OFF) only you can hear "..." or "...!" when pAI speak (like with genetics defect)
Vision - pAI will be unable to see if vision cable is OFF
Movement - pAI will be not able to move by itself, only if someone pull it (OFF)
Radio - pAI will be unable to hear radio. (OFF)
Softwares - If OFF it block ability to use softwares.
Anti-Illegal Software - if OFF, allow pAI to download "illegal" softwares.
Imprint - If OFF it will remove master imprint on pAI.
Orders - If "Changed" it will clear Orders list.


More types:
I wanted to include Syndicate pAI, syndicates get ability to buy for X TC "syndicate pAI software" with allow normal pAI to buy and use illegal syndicate softwares and they will have syndicate override (its one time buy item)

Syndicate pAI can have some usefull functions like:
[20] Micro Laser - Help uncuff targeted person by cutting cufs, speed depends on cuffs types (it take -50% less time to uncuff than normally)
[40] Mini Taser - Tase Target, with will apply "electrocuted" effect on person (1 second knock down and hard stun after, for 3seconds), can be only used once every 15 seconds.
[35] Chemical Injector - Give pAI ability to store fluids with can be injected, because of pAI small size, it can only store 10-15u of any liquid and inject it instantly into anyone. (there will be alert like "you feel tiny prick!" without sound of injection)
[or there can be list of fluids it dont support if its too strong option]

Syndicate pAI get "hacked" pAI softwares too.


QoL suggestions:
- Give pAI option to suicide when it don't want to play by using /suicide.
- Give pAI its own screen buttons, like "unfold", "collapse", "software".
- Give pAI ability to see its own "screen" like how owner can see when inspecting pAI.
- When ghosting and "Apply Personality", give ability to "Cancel Personal Apply", because you apply as pAI, lets say: on beginning of round you apply your pAI personality, and wait like 30minutes, no one choose you in this time range then  you decide you don't want to be pAI anymore, because you can't cancel it, and get holopara roll for example, you wait for roll, then instantly got snapped to reality as pAI and you missed roll...

P.S. All costs above can be  choosed by someone who will ever try make this as PR

You can say your own suggestions in comments, because i know pAI can be better but idk if its too much.
