I got this idea a while back for displaying emotions.
Basically the idea is that the helmet has sea through LEDs like the ones in the image below, and basically the idea is that there is a camera inside the helmet that scans the Drood's face and displays the corresponding emotion on the helmet display. I explained it really badly but I think the images can show what I mean better.
The inspiration:

First idea, full face, doesn't look right to me tbh so didn't go as far:

Second Idea, Eyes only, looks so much better imo:

Just an idea I wanted to throw out there

    @ArdeeAsher I really want to give some life to the test dummy and make it a droid companion in the near future, so hopefully they get some love soon.

    My mind has been blown, as soon as I read that, I opened the game and saw it, holy crap. Tho still gotta ask, are there any plans to do anything of this sort in the future?

    This was actually going to be implemented for the test dummy , but it never made it in the final cut. If you clip through the dummy models face mask, there are eyes in there for this very thing.

    This is honestly a great suggestion. One thing Sr2 misses that KSP got right is a relatable character. The kerbals have faces and emotions and we attribute characteristics to them, we don't really do that to the Droonauts
