Starbolt's Pride Comment thread

I was wondering what you guys would do about security. That seems like a pretty good solution.

Also was that a quote from Calvin and Hobbes or did they get it from someplace else?

Yeah, I did paraphrase that from Calvin and Hobbes.

I can't believe I remembered that.

Anyway since others might be waiting on Blackstar before posting could someone give me an idea what Thrall is like. I could do a post talking to him/her/hir.

Well, Thrall is an information dealer and grey-market provider, but AFAIK he's still back on the Tholian slaver planet.

Oh, maybe I misread. I thought he was on ship. Is nobody there to answer Cech's hail?

Nope, Sunny, the only ones on the ship at the moment is the EMH and Starbolt.

I might have returned (Although its not very likely =P)

*shrug* That'd work too. You'd need to run pretty damn fast, though.

I imagine that the ship itself could answer you, because we now have an AI and actually no need for a crew at all...

Oh yeah, forgot about Sally.

sunnyside · Post by **sunnyside** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 9:17 pm

Is Sally supposed to be a "free" AI? Also you'd still need a crew unless you've built a robot army to actually build and handle things.

I suppose it hasn't come up but is she considered limited in some way. (i.e. can only focus her attention on one thing at a time like the doctor. Limits on her ability to innovate etc.)

Post by **Mikey** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:30 pm

I was just making a joke about not needing a crew... I hope...

It actually hasn't come up, but in the interest of an enjoyable gaming experience I can only pray that Sally's abilities are severely limited. If we can solve everything with a near-omnipotent AI, what's the point of logging on and posting?

Sionnach Glic · Post by **Sionnach Glic** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:38 pm

From what I remember, the only ability Sally seems to really have is the ability to think sentiently. Other than that, it appears to just have a rudimentary control over some systems on the ship, and that's it.

As I understood it she was also a carrier of technology from the other dimension (why our tramp freighter moves so fast).

But hopefully that's it.

Still I don't think I should post a continuation of what Cech is doing without more info. Though someone else who knows more could handle things.
