What about adding an extra element to human gameplay - software that can be installed onto turrets and maybe RC or some other structures?
Proprietary software ---
- Just Works(TM), like magic.
- Utilizes full the potential of the structures.
- Players need to buy licenses. The policies may vary: some proprietary products could only need one-time payment, some could require players to buy a new license for every new turret, some licenses could allow transfer from one turret to another, from destroyed turrets to new turrets, some could prohibit that.
- Each maps should define actions that are thought crime and if players do that, structures that have proprietary software installed shut down.
Free software ---
- No payments required.
- The default software should work OK but have some non-fatal flaws.
- Players should be able to download the program from any turret and upload their own JavaScript programs.
- Even the most expertly written custom programs shouldn't be able to utilize the full potential of the strutures.
