New Commodity Suggestion; Autonomous Drones

[Binski]

I could see the appeal for POB owners, however it might prevent people from striving for a Core 5, if the owner essentially has the benefit of a Core 5 without reaching it. It would make sieging harder obviously, even for lower Core POB's, since it takes away the necessity for players to log and maintain them. It would probably increase the number of POB's for the Community to contend with. Other than the convenience for the POB owner, I don't see a great upside for this.

Ahh yes but all the more reason for the four houses to make the use of the commodity on a base illegal inrp. It would not remove the need to supply a base with repair commodities, just f/w/o. Rp could become about the issue of keeping a human crew or not. In emergencies people could resort to robots, or indi operations could go an illegal route and use robots or androids at risk of discovery. Making them expensive though seems a reasonable balancer.

I suppose I'd see robots being a legal alternative, or used with license. Just my opinion but I have wondered why the houses allow the legal use of human replicants. I wouldn't be using androids myself, and robots only under a siege situation perhaps, depending on how far out a base is. But yes let police/navy/intel players search bases for robots and androids workers. If you could see it in the base info tab where the crew says 200, and show 'robots/androids' instead, they could make sure bases in their space are clear. And of course those who frown on them or just want to steal them could hunt for them.
