This AI faction seem to need some more work on the devs part or on a story and history side of things to give them reason to interact with humans more.
I'm thinking I might be able to play it off as an AI ship trying to learn human behavior by working as a freelancer ship for different player factions. What do you guys think of that? It seems logical as they wouldn't think like humans and wouldn't be able to relate and would need to gather data to be able to understand and figure humans out. But then I would need a freelancer id though. If I had an AI id would I be able to do something along those lines?
Also would these ships be allowed in liberty space and other major human faction systems without being attacked by the local military or police?
Cruiser is still a warship class. I however have no problems going in liberty with my Drone.

So what your saying is the cruiser is useless outside a select few systems... I don't really like the looks of the fighter and im not a fan of such small ships. This has to be one of the more interesting factions and yet they are gimped and come off as useless, they can't go anywhere and can't seem to do much. Are their any factions rping these ships.

Dont get me wrong, I fully agree with you, but you also gotta look that this is a light RP server. If it was for me, I woulda made Rover a AI Cruiser instead of a fighter.
I really liked the look of these ships and really wanted to give the rp a try with it but I don't know now. It seems like it will just end up being a lot of headache since I can't really travel or explore the world like I'd like to if im not going to be allowed to bring the cruiser into most systems.

The problem is that people will get jaelous if something's to be added along the lines of "AI Cruiser can enter House Space" Then we will get the old deathmatching AI's active again.
Wrong and wrong I say. You can go pretty much anywhere with the cruiser, you just need enough RP for it. My AI cruiser have free access to kussari space given by KNF for example.
I might sound harsh but this thread looks to me like: "I want a cruiser to shoot anything I want. What!? I have to RP? And I can shoot only in some systems? OMG! AI is useless."
It sucks they used to be annoying. I don't really want to be all that aggressive, it would be fun but I want to explore with it since they are computers and would value knowledge. As far as I know they haven't started any wars with the majority of factions I understand having a large military ship would be considered a threat but If I was to rp in a way that made my character only wish to obtain knowledge would people rp with that? SInce it is an AI it is unable to detach itself from it's ship since it's body is the ship. SO I could rp it as this is the only shell I have and the only way to explore and gain knowledge.

Agreed.
To me, it looks like you just want an AI ship to pew pew with... Not really RP for an AI to be bounty hunting or doing merc work, so I heavily disagree with and discourage this, if it is your intention. But my opinion doesn't mean much.

You interpreted me all wrong.Yes blowing stuff up is a lot of fun but if you read all my posts I have mentioned I would like to rp and it's the reason I'm choosing the ai's to begin with. Because they seem to have the most interesting rp aspect. Yes bounty hunting or mercenary would be fun I do like combat but I can use other ships and factions for that.
Im not worried about shooting in certain systems rather then being allowed in them period. I don't want to waste what money I have on a ship that I wont be able to travel in. I like exploring and the AI seem like the perfect faction to do it in. I was just worried the cruiser wouldn't be able to do that due to not being able to have large military ships in certain factions systems.

As for the "can I enter house space" thing.. Yes, you can. But in the case of the cruiser, you'll be bringing a warship into house space, which is rarely appreciated by the local law enforcement. Which isn't very strange, as it's basically the same thing as a Chinese aircraft carrier (they put that ancient one into active service, right? :p) entering Japanese waters.
I suspect that if you roleplayed really well, and came up with a good reason to come into house space, you could get permission to pass through. It'd probably take quite a bit of work to get yourself trusted enough for this to happen, though, and I don't really see you getting any kind of permanent or semi-permanent permission.
