AI character story. - Roabot - 03-29-2010
Hi guys. I am currently considering RP as an AI with either the Harvester drone or the Cruiser. Just looking for some input/feedback.
Basically the story behind it will be that a Lane Hacker captain in his gunboat comes across a disabled AI ship in one of the radioactive clouds in the Gallileo system. In an attempt to save the hull from being deteriorated and ultimately destrtoying the valuable hardware/data in the ship, he attempts to use the Super computer and power supply on his ship to hack into the Harvester's mainframe or "mind", if you want to call it that, and get it's parts moving out of the cloud and to Leiden base. To get it to jettison it's core and other equipment (guns etc) he disables it's already damaged "mind" and attempts to code it to drop its compnents into the gunship hull. But an intense electrical surge in the cloud fries his electronics and restarts the Harvester with the re-progamming half down. Now it thinks instead of giving up its components it's focus is to take the robotic components and Optronics of others, in a sense " harvesting" them for the Hackers.
Anyway what it will do is if it detects any transport or ship carrying robotic components, optronics, software or othe computerised equipment, it will ask them to drop the cargo or take it by force. However it will not attack other Harvester ships as it still recognises them as its "brethen". It will be friendly with the Hackers and neutral with most factions etc.
I will elaborate more but i just wanted to get an idea of what people think.
well its a start. :) Some feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

Convince me that you're not just going to use the cruiser to be a lolwut and camp in Liberty...

That was when such things did not need to be used. And I RP'd that properly using the correct method of speech etc. And not once did I lolwut.
Quit commenting if it's not relevant to this story.

Don't avoid my relevant question then!
And remember who is ultimatley going to be the faction leader giving you the yes/no on your SRP request...

Great idea, and heaps of potential, I think. Tbh ive only ever seen one harvester, and that was a cruiser in the process of getting turned into electronic soup by an Assault carrier pre 4.85, so it would be good to see at least one of them around. As long as no lolwuttery occurs, it should be a valuable addition to the RP universe. Go for it, I say.
And yes, I am posting mainly because I feel obliged to, rather than having anything amazingly insightful to say. So... yeah... Do it.

I fail to see how one could end up being lolwutty if they got a SRP granted.
Though that might just be me.
