mod request: playable "transforming" race
so, i was thinking, if there is already a "transforming alien race" in the game (faceless), and a "mode switching race" (andromedon), and reverse-engineering is part of the lore, why not also have one or more playable transforming races?

it would be interesting to have a playable race with a limited use skill that allows transformation: something like the werewolf characters of "altered beast" games, mutant-like vampires (from human-like appearance to demon-like vampire), gargoyles, something like "the thing", a character with "astral projection" (a "ghost-like" that can be used to scout faster, but leaves the user more vulnerable), or even silly stuff like "magical girls" trope lol (still could be one of those "dark style" magical girls, from some horror-like manga); even a variant of this reptilian race could have the skill to "use human camouflage" for stealth missions.

or at least a step by step guide to try something like that... dont know, i think it could be interesting and open new possibilities for gameplay.
