AI RP

[Jihadjoe]

Let me clarify my post...

Vessels carrying this ID are controlled by an artificial intelligence, who :

* Cannot fulfill bounty contracts,
* Cannot demand cargo or credits,
* Can trade and escort traders,
* May not fly any ships with more than 3,600 cargo space.

Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Gunboats, Transports, AI Drone and AI Cruiser.

Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, trading IDs, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.

That's the ID as it stands right now... It's designed to give people a lot of freedom as to what the roleplay, so for example, a BMM tagged AI ship would be just fine and dandy to escort BMM traders, but a tagless one seems to be pushing it a bit. It's a matter of common sence.

I know it's an extremely inviting prospect to have that "go anywhere, do anything" cruiser, but try to keep it in line with sane RP.

And yet, you do not need an AI ID to roleplay an AI.

Quite so. I believe it's a bit of a wasted or unnecessary ID overall. If I wanted to have an AI construct controlling a navy ship, I would so it with a navy ID. The ID was really designed for those AIs who don't belong to any group in particular. For those characters, I find it extremely unlikely that their RP would (if sensible) involve escorting traders around, and shooting up pirates. To me that looks like an excuse to do it with a cruiser.
