I think it would be fun in pubmatches if there was one randomly appearing special unique AI crewmember. It should be rare to see or get on the ship but would make the game more interesting.
Some ideas:
- Steampunk robot engineer. Very good at repairing. Never shoots because joints can't take recoil. Rebuilds and repairs with precision. Moves faster than normal AI or players. Machinesound and buzzes.
- Crazy gunner AI. Very slow at repairs or mostly ignores them but jumps instantly on gun and has awesome aim. Steampunk eye replacements for scope and aim. Ammobelts and gunnerlook.
- Useless AI. Falls of ship, fails to repair, shoots at ally and jumps on wrong gun and hits stuff on fire wih mallet. Walks behind player and honks horn. Clownlike or conehat on head with text.
Only spawns twice per day on random ship and takes spot for one match.
