The new-Harvester Lore

[Oldum]

... even if in RP I could make sense into having an AI ID Osprey ... which I have no intetnion to play as a Zoner, but as an AI ... I hope you see where I'm trying to get.

I do, actually. I used to have an AI ID Zoner GB (which I acquired inRP from the Omicroners for a non-Gammusian AI). I deleted the ship because it was no longer viable under the new AI ID, which I was disappointed about. However, a suitable replacement for that specific branch of AI RP has yet to be implemented, mostly because it is regarded as a very niche interest.

Edit: And thank you for assuming that I'm with the idea just for the sake of not having proper RP skills for it. Much appreciated.

It was a thought experiment, not an insult.


My point is that I agree that there's currently no good/easy way to RP as a non-Gammusian AI. However, I have yet to see a good solution/alternative being proposed outside of trying to manipulate the current AI NPC ID. Perhaps a separate / entirely new ID might be enough here, but being a generic ID, it would not have most of the Gammusian ID's advantages (or disadvantages).

Then you see where I'd like to get. And I think there would be quite a few people who would be interested in that, including me, and it would also give something for already exsisting engineering factions such as Agiera something to do apart from trading and reporting that Hudson is gonne sink into a huge wormhole.
Also, it would give me a chance to do a story that I only not started yet, cause I ran into RP limitations.

On the advantages-dissadvantages part : What's the advantage of the current AI ID ? You can pew pew in systems with no jumpgate ? I don't think it would be that much missed.
Actually, taking the current AI ID in reference, it could be something like that :

Name other then AI ID
