I just saw a UMG| ship today with an AI ID and AI guns. What's with that? Looks like an excuse to grab an ID with very few rephacks and guns you're not supposed to be able to use (efficiently) on another ID. Bear in mind that the AI ID is specifically for the AIs originating from Planet Gammu, not AIs built by humans like the robots you see on some space stations.
The roleplay behind that was that it was an AI research drone originally intended for hauling small amounts of material for analysis, but it was captured by the lane hackers, and UMG paid them to reprogram the drones to be used by UMG.
I wasn't going to allow people to use transports with more than 2,000 cargo for roleplaying as cargo drones (to make sure people wouldn't use it for powertrading with the ID and rep, and to be sure it's actually about the roleplay) but there's no real point in that now.
Was seeing it as potential roleplay to make the lane hackers possible business connections to the UMG, but since there is no UMG, no reason.
UMG characters can't be renamed for a week, so you'll still be seeing the tag around for a while on a few people.
