' Wrote:The most obvious thing to me is fear of human oppression/attack. Its logical to take steps to prevent it. I'm actually thinking more along the lines of X-men--robots who want to coexist, others who want to be left alone and others wanting to dominate all--but all with the same common threat that unites them at least somewhat.
You, my friend, are a genius. That brings up RP possibilities to the next level, as well as the whole existance of AI in freelancer. AI does have a place in freelancer, and by doing things right we will be should to prove it to the majority and entertain the community.
Power to the peop*cough* Robots!!
P.S. i know the few people who are pissed at constant "scanning" are referring to Harvesters, let me just give you a word of advice: You wouldn't like us to stop it, trust me, we got complaints for not doing it as it was mostly our way of declaring our presence so that the weak and cowards may hide before we actually see/approach them. For their sake, we will never stop being this kind. I know some of you find it irritating cause you think you're too cool to even consider it, but most of them find it useful. I already explained in my "cake problem" why we do it, machines are supposed to be systematical.
