Why It's Good For The Game
AIs being able to hack a door and control it anyways after someone going through the effort to cut or disable its AI wire makes the AI connection wire just pointless as a whole. It gives people way less ways to deal with the borgs or the AI shocking, bolting, or otherwise abusing doors. While you can cut cameras, a borg can show up and act as a camera for the AI or otherwise.
Pirate shuttles being AA made it really hard for pirates to do much. While some already had syndicate access and all pirate IDs have such, not all did. While people could always weld walls, or otherwise break in, it takes longer and is more effort than simply walking on. Pirates have one of a kind machines that if destroyed instantly end their objectives, they should take a little more effort than just walking in.
Greytide pirates have just been extremely weak. While they are supposed to be somewhat weak it just turns into a bullying fest where people would just rather not play it. This gives them syndicate access required on their doors and reinforced walls on the outside to make it harder for people fly up walk inside beat them up because they are weak, or weld down one wall and destroy all their machines. Along with the fact the vast majority of their weapons can't really do much to borgs who decide to attack them, thus the more flashes so they can have a little bit of a fighting chance. As for the emergency space suits, coffee no longer protects you enough from space temps needing these instead to not just die from cold.
The skeleton pirates are mostly the same case, while these guys are stronger, they have no defense and a single weldable wall to destroy all their stuff or just people being able to walk on and do so, makes that a little harder.
Up until now bounty hunters had literally 0 IC way to learn their targets name without metagaming or get any sort of hint where they are, this gives them that and a chance to actually get their target as the second they disguise or go most places its pretty much impossible otherwise.
Psykers are just terrible, they are a buggy laggy mess and while I do plan to improve them and port some stuff from upstream, they are still terrible as hunters, barely being able to find their target in a room of people along with being so annoying to play they are rarely taken or taken and people kill themselves upon realizing what a psyker is.
