Swarmanoid + Modular Design = ??
While working out an AGI Engineer NPC for my upcoming game, an odd morph idea came upon me. Swarmanoid, but with the "Modular Design" option added in. What effect would that have? would the swarm be able to go from a horde of 'lil bots, up to something like a small, but solid morph-state? This'd likely counteract the "Swarm" benefits/penalties while in use, but it'd be a great way to simulate that whole "Replicator" effect from SG-1... Thoughts?

Hard to say. One of the big penalties of the swarm composition is that you don't have the option of becoming a normal morph whenever you feel like it. Not all mods are combinable. :/ Also, I see what you're thinking, but Modular Design is technically for connecting whole morphs together, so it's a stretch to apply it to sub-morph swarm units.

A swarm that can combine with other similar swarms to form an even bigger swarm.
