Drones Get No Exception

Description
Odyssey drone pawns (Sentry, Hunter and Wasp drones) are given a special exception that allows them to pass through player-owned doors (even Anomaly's Security doors). This is wildly out of step from every other pawn in the game, even the Anomaly entities that can skip through walls can't do this, so here's a simple XML patch mod that reverts this baffling design decision. NB: I left in the Sentry's ability to open their own doors, but they should not be able to open player-owned doors. This can be "abused" in some situations with players doing silly things like claiming enemy doors. If you think this is cheesy, you shouldn't do that. Also, Wasps still move extremely fast, and if they become aware of one of your pawns they will almost certainly get through your door before a pawn can get safely get inside.

Note that with this mod, Sentries can still open their own doors, they just can't walk onto your ship/into your base through a closed door

I personally like the Sentry being able to open doors, it makes it feel unique. On the other hand, how the hell is a wasp opening my doors! its at tiny ball! Maybe a bit weird but I enjoy having 1 specific enemy have the challenge/threat of ignoring my doors, but the little bombs and wasps feel too much. Regardless, thank you for the work/mod :)

Thank you for making this. Drones being able to open your ship doors freely is such a deranged designer call to make... Especially when there are already mechanisms for handling the situation they said led to it. It's telling that they locked the thread about it on Discord lmao

Thanks for this, the special exception is dumb
