AI tag? - Enko - 08-08-2008
By now after playing an AI ship for about a week, Im getting kind of tired of telling every new person that sees me that Im not a pilot and Im an AI instead, now I don't have any space crew but as allot of people don't use spaceship crew most people don't go by it.
Is there any form currently I could be using such as a commodity or Tag that I could use to display I am an AI not a Human?
If there isn't I suggest implementing something like that. I don't know if its worth duplicating the IDs for every faction to make it AI compatible or anything similar, but maybe something extra equip able like the armour upgrades, which can be attached showing the ship is AI rather than a Human.

Believe me, it's a hassle for folks like me as well, who use a load of both cyborg and AI characters. If the Harvester ID goes through, it would make things much simpler.

Except that the Harvester ID would only be for Harvesters, wouldn't it?
Anyway, it's the curse of unusual (or uncommon) RP, constantly having to explain yourself to people. If I had ever gotten a chance to really fly Daedalus much I would have run into the same problem (Xavier Hackworth isn't not an AI, but there are similar issues).

I suppose I get more of a problem having an AI speak in similar ways to a normal human, but most people don't pick up misunderstandings or deliberate mistakes in the chat as AI features more of stupidity of the person typing it.

That's the curse(?) of having so many non-English-natives on the server, not to mention all the ones who don't speak English at all.

I usually place all AI system chat in "-"'s, and system commands with a left bracket "["
E.g.
-This is Escort GJ. Stand by-

I don't blame anyone, its just annoying making it clear time and time and time and time...

To be fair, let's make a Human tag too. That way everyone knows you're a human and not a squishy/machine/etc.
</sarcasm>
We've had this discussion a thousand times, tag and ID indicate your role and not your species. Is "machine" what you do? Float around and be a machine? I would assume that either A) you work for/with someone (use their tag and ID, think the bartender robots on border stations) or B) you work for yourself (use Freelancer/Zoner/Junker/assorted generic ID just like a human would).
Your actions should further define you, not something that un-defines what you do to define what you are- which is meaningless if you behave the same way a human would. Harvesters do this with robotic sounding speech. Binaries do it with their naming patterns and speech. Get the idea?
BEFORE ANYONE BRINGS UP THE NOMADS, they follow this too. The Nomad ID is a relic used by no one, the Keeper ID is like Outcast ID- Keeper is a role, not a species. Their tag is also a relic from Vanilla, where the Nomads all acted the same- they don't, actually, there are a group of castes, of which the Keepers are one. If starting reps weren't such a right bugger they would probably change for next version to distinguish between them.
As for Wild, Patrick will be the first to tell you that Wild != infested humans: the Wild are an organization made up of Rheinland's infested population.

As you can see there are people that are very much against having an AI tag. If you look up Kuraines new ID thread you will see some suggestions for a Harvester ID and a Machine Alliance ID. I think they are a good idea.
