Number two in particular though is what I figured would be in the way from a technical standpoint. I can certainly attest to the A.I being simple with how fustrating it is to have them appropiately swap between weapons I’ll give them based on combat context, even in regards to a simple melee and ranged setup, so I can only imagine how disastrous it’d get if you try to give them some kind of vore tool. Wouldn’t be surpised if it would be more common for a crew member equiped with one to eat the player or other crew members more often than actual enemies, perhaps even vice versa for enemies equiped with one. I personally don’t mind there being a toggle feature but by the sounds of it you know something I don’t that would prevent it from working properly and being toggleable at all.
The second point I don’t really mind but I see how it could get very obnoxious very quickly.
