Earth Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I was just asking. Hell, it could be a mechanical hatchery, and make robotic transport drones to deliver the kT to the Asgard.

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 You don't research from merits... At all... Also, what are atmospheric divers? Like my Space Frame, a sort of drop-pod?

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 ... :blink: Well then why did you become a research AI? Or, as a research AI, why not use that research to create utility and battle frames that you can remotely transmit to during missions? 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Retech Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well I figured that I should try a completely new kind of character, since I've already tried power-hungry maniac several times. It's hard to hide that though. :) So I chose an AI, since they are restricted by protocols and such. Maybe if I was paid resources for researching, then I could afford to go outside the Unity and get blown up once in a while, but my resources are currently limited. Master of your domain?

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Earth: Mechanical hatchery = replicator... It's so incredibly pointless, it's not even funny. Use your research for something half-useful, Giant Frickin' Robots would further the interests of the crew as a whole. :) EDIT: Retech, just lobby Jeremiah for resources. That's what I usually do, and we have at least 4,500kT. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

The_Mather1 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Retech, as you are a robot you should research components and nanites, that way you can better handle and repair damage to yourself. Also, when nanites reach lvl 20 they can remain permanently inside human beings without interfering with the imune system, allowing them to always be prepared to repair injuries and expel known treats.

Earth Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 NEX. They produce kT by using the sun, which means we can have an unlimited source of recources. That does not mean replicators.

Retech Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Jeremiah would say that a research AI does not need eight ion cannons, stealthing, or ten fission generators. :thumbup: Hence why if I earned the resources with my research, I could proceed to add eight ion cannons, stealthing, and ten fission generators.

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Mather... <_< Bonsai and I have already researched sufficient levels in Psionics to enable mechanical self-repair. And I really do not like the thought of tiny robots inside my body, especially if they're of your design. There are so many ways it could go wrong, especially with someone like me who fires lightning from their palms... EDIT: Earth, it's called putting a solar generator on the Unity... It's already been determined that solar power is next-to-useless. EDIT: Retech, build a battle frame, as I suggested before. Jeremiah doesn't like the idea of a Research AI fighting "in person," I don't think he would object to you controlling machines built for battle. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Earth Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 ... You just don't get it do you? I can use the mech hatcheries to make asteroids, which mean KT, which mean recources. More suefull than giant robot target dummies.

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Earth, THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. Not unless you spend a crapton of resources on a mass fabricator, which does not yet exist in the known universe. Mather, *Sigh* I suppose it's better than most of your ideas, and will have it's uses, but the AIs already have self repair mechanisms and SI has stated the issues with giving automated entities medical knowledge. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Seraphi Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 This is the problem. Why would you need that much weaponry, primarily being a research AI. That would mean coming on missions to do things like hacking, analysis and support, not going Rambo and taking on an army by yourself. If you were actually going to do something useful/appropriate, then the resources would be yours, but I cannot fathom why you would need 4 quad barrelled AP beams, 2 ion cannons, stealthing, and gas dispensers. Well, okay, stealthing, maybe, but the rest is excessive. Earth, how, exactly would that work? As far as I know, we don't yet have the technology to convert energy into mass.

Retech Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ah, understandable. Nex, do you know at what level of technology that these battle frames will become feasible?

Earth Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well, we could research it. I'm saying it could be usefull, which it will be once I get it up and running.

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 It would seem to be a matter of building some sort of mech and putting a transmitter in it. I would imagine a wide variety of designs would be available. Anything much larger than a human would be in my domain, androids would be the specialty of Drake/Apep, and swarm-type robots are favourites of Theros. EDIT: Earth, still wouldn't be any sort of hatchery, and it would probably take many research points. However, I do support a Mass Fabricator project, it might be incredibly useful. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Retech Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have an alternative idea. Instead of putting a transmitter (which would be probaly easily blocked in any event), we could copy my files, and put one dormant stored in the SI or my body. Then create a replicate body and put my active files in there, allowing me to participate in the mission. If I were killed, the other bot could just be activated and I'd be good as new. :P Also, a useful addition might be to add visuals on the back of my body, so that I could fire while retreating, or even while hacking a computer.

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 ... Retech, that might be a bad idea. SI told me that was part of what drove SUE insane, and it might damage your systems. SI, I am correct in assuming that SUE is now a separate entity again? The whole SUE-home thing I made to keep her safe during my theoretical suicide mission is now her permanent abode? 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

The_Mather1 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Nex, the issue with medical robots is that the body doesn't usually accept them, however at lvl 20, nanites are accepted by the human body. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Derp. You're making a mistake in thinking that there's only one potential issue.

Nexaduro Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 You keep making irrelevant points. What was that old Tavern quote about Roman coins? I'm just saying, we've heard numerous warnings from SI about giving robots medical knowledge. And yes, nanites count as robots. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?
