There are just a few things which puzzle me about sligs.
1. Okay, so we have the slig mask with the red visuals. I assume they are visual enhancers, but doesnt red usually represent "thermal detectors." Or maybe even night vision, I remember looking at the concept art for the flying slig on the official oddworld website, and I think there was something mentioned in their about the WWII styled goggles they wear offering night vision. They were red. So does that mean sligs have night vision as well?
If they do have night vision and/or thermal detection, wouldn't they be able to see Abe hiding in the various shadow zones around Oddworld?
2. Another thing very few people might have noticed are the sligs with the shotguns. Remember in AO, where Abe gets smacked out by the slig's gun butt? Later when they are dragging his butt in, the slig following the two who have Abe has a shotgun! And in AE, in one of movies where Abe has entered the train, the train whizzes past a slig on a "lookout point" who has a shotgun as well! Where are these double barelled sligs in the game?!?!
3. One final thing to add is why don't worker class sligs and flying sligs get along. We all know (I hope you do) that when Abe posesses a slig on the same screen as another slig, the other slig knows and tries to kill you (posessed slig). But Sligs can talk to each other on most screens (early game) after that. Flying sligs are always shot at, no matter where you go. Is this some sort of rivalry to do with rank (obviously flying sligs = higher rank)? Maybe its a way the developers stop you from flying all over the place killing sligs and making the game easier

1: Well, in daylight night vision goggles are useless as they practically blind you. Abe hides in shadows formed in the daylight, which means he wouldn't be able to be seen. However, in night time I wouldn't have a clue as how he would get past unseen.
2: Every Slig has those guns, they aren't really shotguns or machine guns. As I know that Sligs use machine gun like firing weapons. The guns you refer to Sligs having are called Blunderbuss, and are basically a mix I guess.
3: Flying Sligs are higher in rank than a normal working class Slig. It probably is the rivalry, as for a Slig to shoot another Slig you usually have to have possessed that Slig in the line of sight of the other Slig.
