AI Explorer

[Dragonego]

Hey, I was wondering if it would be at all possible to create a character, and get an ID to make it an AI explorer? All I want to do with it is explore, and possibly RP some lane hackers or somthing hacking it..

Is this possible? Can I RP people hacking my ship if it as AI?



Thanks guys

I think you need to wait for the Special RP section to open up, then make an application for the AI.

For now, however, feel free to RP people hacking into your ship, if you so wish. It's entirely up to you.

As a side note, I'd reccomend the pirate ID for now.

to make it simple -

the AI ID is for those chars that unmistakenly NEED an AI ID, cause nothing else fits. - but in order to RP an ID, you don t necessarily need an AI ID. - here are a few examples... :

1)
you RP as an unmanned AI drone that is flying patrol pattern, exploring the known space - a watchman drone, if you like - you have been deployed by the "interspace commercial" to gather data about common routes, the market, dangers, ships, etc.

your ID in that case would be an IC ID

2)
you are an autonomous drone seeking new worlds - one might call you a "von neumann" drone. you follow a pattern of orders in your coding, you are free to go where you like gathering data, gathering intelligence etc. - your owner however is maybe the zoners - cause they set many drones off into space exploring.

your ID in that case would be a zoner ID

3)
you are an autonomous drone following a pattern to explore and if necessary conquer or claim useful space, materials, planets. - one might call it a "berserker" drone. you have NOT been deployed by a spacefaring company or faction, but you were assembled by a "von neumann" drone with your own given patterns. ( thats the scenario of AIs building further AIs ) - you are only related to humans or living being in an indirect relation.

your ID in that case would be an AI ID

so as long as your origin can unmistakenly be traced back to a faction that has an ID - and as long as you are kind of "deployed" by them.... you can RP an AI while having the normal ID.

only when you are a pure AI, build by AIs unrelated to any orders or codes from any faction that is presented as a faction in disco - you should get an AI ID. ( and only if what you do is unrelated to a faction... so if you might not be related to a faction ID anymore, but you still take orders by them or do their bidding - you can still use their ID )

Ok sweet, Just to be sure, Could I say, be a Rhienland Police or Military drone sent out to explore Sirius, and locate possible pirate installations, and transmit the co-ordinates back to the nearest Rhenland police or military vessel or base. Of course using either the RM Police or RM Military ID depending on which faction is decided on?

RP Story:

J?ger-Einheitsalpha (Literally meaning hunter unit alpha) was programmed and launched by Dr. Aldridge of New Hamburg University. Dr. Aldridge had spent 2 years writting and testing a program that he called the J?ger program. The program contained complex decision making, Grid-Sweeping, Scanner progressing, map making and self defence components. Its Primary function was to explore the galaxy of Sirius for new Systems, Jump Holes Planets and resources. Its Secondary function was to locate and evaluate probable pirate installations. However, his program was useless at the time of its completion. He had no ship to try to install the program into. So, for three years the program ramained dormant on a hard drive at New Hamburg University. Until Dr. Aldridge managed to aquire a fairly decent condition Artificial Intelligence ship at a local auction. The ship was fairly new, and Dr. Aldridge was pondering why the ship was sold for such a low amount of credits. he decided to open up the ship, as he remove the hull plating he found out why. the internal mechanisms of the ship were completly useless. It looked as though somone had taken to it with an oversized blowtorch. everything was fried. The doctor decided that he would rebuild the internal mechanisms of the ship. it cost him 8 Million credits of his own money. He nearly went broke. But, 7 Years after he first envisioned his idea, the ship was finished. the program had been installed and patched onto the ship, all the was needed was to launch it into space. F?nf, vier, drei, zwei, ein. Fahren Sie los! The ship took off with a tremendous blast. And it began sending signals back to Hamburg once it reached its AOE (Area of operations) The ship was made to last on its current resources for just four months, but had a trick up its sleeve, it contained 3 drones, enabling the ship to land, and purchase extra resources. Tragically, 3 days after the ships launch, Dr Aldridge was killed when an out-of-control Transport slammed into his 6 story home on Hamburg.

End-
