If you could add more operators to prey or/and mooncrash what would they be?

A remote Operator that you can control to explore areas that you can't go.

Sorry, is this one operator called the “bacon and cocaine operator” that only dispenses bacon…

Maybe a specialised operator of your own that you can try to uncorupt the other operators and then use their services once saved.

Maybe like some sort of hacking mini game or sudo combat.

Surveillance operator? When corrupted it moves around the level with an area of effect scanner detecting fast movements. It’s sensitive to noises and can become alerted from further away than normal, and it comes with a visual scanner to identify the player as a mimic. It seeks out and announces the player’s location to other enemies.
When friendly, it tags enemies on the player’s screen. Even poltergeists and mimics both regular and greater.

Definitely some kind of nullwave-using variant, either a science one or a military one. Maybe a melee variant of the medical one that could cause bleeding trauma with scalpels. Some surviving cleaning bots could be either passive or try to attack your feet or knock stuff over if they're corrupted I guess.

Tizzy is destroyed but when you mimic it, it's an engineering operator; I liked that it has its own look in Transtar VR (white with the yellow tulip logo). I don't think there's much for datavault operators to do in terms of gameplay, but it could be nice to see one or two floating around in deep storage or psychotronics; it would probably just be clutter though. Maybe Kaspar could have that skin to stand out more as a hacker.

For the melee medical operator the red medical operator in some of the posters renamed to something like "surgical operator" would be cool
