About the pull request

This removes the ability for lesser drones and facehuggers to speak.

Explain why it's good for the game

Now, Lesser Drone/Facehugger meta gaming isn't something you see every game, and it's not something that's extremely obvious, but it is something that is possible and it is something that is done every few games.

https://forum.cm-ss13.com/t/remove-the-ability-to-speak-of-facehuggers-and-lesser-drones/5106

I'd like to add, personally, I don't think facehuggers or lesser drones really need the ability to talk. The lesser drones purpose is to be a nuisance to marine, minor support to the larger castes, and set up the hive.

Facehuggers role is to run up to bigger bugs and stick with them to hug people they stun. Alternatively, they sit in the shadows and wait to capitalize off of traps.

Neither of these two roles require talking. Them being able to talk barely assists their intended purpose, if at all. The reason that only the lesser drone and the facehugger are an issue with talking and metagaming is the fact how quick and easy it is to pump these bugs out en masse.

Give the two a "warmup" of a few minutes (3-5) before they can speak, then let them speak like normal.
