…rol. AI now required a borg to have a special brain inserted which refuses ghost roles and allows for long range AI shunting. Added new AIShuntReceiver brain and graphic for borgs.
…give proper credit to the PAI face designer.

Will Borgs be able to take control of these if they are in the normal range of Taking Control? |

Borgs, yes. This is a restriction on AI takeovers. |

About the PR
Modifies AI's access to borgs.
Can no longer access all vacant borgs on the grid. Borgs will need to have an AI Shunt Receiver installed in order for the AI to take control.
The upside is that this will work on and off grid so there should no longer be a worry about a shunted borg simply being lost if they drift off of the station.
The AI Shunt Receiver can be fabricated at an ExoSuit Fabricator, costing the same as a positronic brain.
Why / Balance
This is a way to further solidify AI's control limitations and to make a system that can be better balanced or modified as it requires a central component.
Also sets the groundwork to allow the AI on a Freelancer's ship to not only assist with the ship, but to assist in off-ship activities as well.
Technical details
AIRemoteControlSystem updated to no longer check for grid, but to instead check to make sure borgs have a receiver assigned to the AI's parent grid.
PosistronicBrainJumpSystem updated to prevent an AI directly taking control of a borg unless the receiver is installed.
Added the AIShuntReceiverComponent for checks and AI grid assignment.
Updated robotics ymls with the recipies for the AI Shunt Receiver.
New mmi.yml added under _HL for object prototypes.
New graphics and meta.json created for the purpse of AI Shunt Receiver visuals and animation.
How to test
Media
Meet the AI Shunt Receiver :D
Breaking changes
Only in terms of balance for ease of creating an AI controlled borg, but since it costs the same as a positronic brain for now, it should not be a considerable impact.
