Harvester Cruiser

[Linkus]

Geisha:

1) The humans brain is too slow to process the interface of the computer living AI body---thus you would not be able to control the ship. 2) The ship is build on a planet that is radioactive and deadly to humans, thus logically, the AI ship would also be composed of living AI components that would be deadly if any term of time exposure is given to humans. 3) The Ai body would reject the Human component.

Points 1 and 3 are simply your opinion.
If you can show the schematics of the AI cruiser and all the processes that are in it and then compare it to a complete map of the human brain, including the capabilities of the brain (Something we have yet to even scratch properly in general science), and then find that the human brain would not be capable of controlling such a vessel then point 1 will stand.
Till then it is your opinion.
Point 3.
Why?
Why would it reject anything? Machines and AI's can be controlled, just as any human can be too. There is no reason why the 'brain' of the AI could not be destroyed and instead a human take it's place.
Of course, there could be reasons.
The point is that till an official stance is given on the AI cruiser, you cannot say that it is this or that and dictate other people's roleplay.
Seth has actually put effort into his character, which is a hell of a lot more than others around here, including myself in the past.


Bal, I didn't mean it to insult. I know you and others did put the effort into getting the faction going again but the faction practically dropped off the map once Scornstar left.
The Harvesters are the one of two factions in the mod to ever have the chance to get their own vessels solely for them. The SCRA being the other.
That 3/4 month period of inactivity on the part of the Harvesters just made it look, and indeed it definitely still appears that way, that many simply decided to stop till they got their ships. A point that Admins have stated in the past.

My point is pretty simple. You can run a 100metre race but if you only get to 80 and then stop for a while, does that mean you should still get a gold medal?
The Harvesters disappeared at a time that at least made it look like most simply couldn't be bothered to play till 4.85. I'm not the only one who saw things this way either.

The faction itself has huge potential and has a great history of roleplaying and making an effort, it just all dropped off when it was needed most and most publicly scrutinised.
You and the others have done a great job of rebuilding the faction after Scorn left and I do wish you good luck in the future. I just want to see other AI's getting to have those ships who are also crucial to their RP too. I remember I flew around in the robotic looking imports when I had an AI and wished for the day to get my own.
Basically, I'd like to see the Harvesters earn their ships once again but also for other independent AI folk to have their own too.
