There b pirates Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Hello I would like to suggest to allow any character of any faction to be able to put a preference for the AI occupation. This is simply because currently there is no faction specific AI, and some of us who like to play AI would not like to be limited because of the faction we would fall back on based on our character choice. For example if I play on my mining Hephaestus- aligned is human, there's no occupational option for me to put any preference towards being an AI. I could understand if this was a thing if factional AI was an option, but currently it isn't. In so I'd like to request that characters of any faction be allowed to choose a preference towards being AI. Just a short example and until then I hope I don't have to be stuck playing nanotrasen characters if I want even a chance to be in the AI slot. Thank you for the consideration Edited November 22, 2019 by There b pirates
AmoryBlaine Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Not entirely sure what this adds. Though I'd prefer we not allow the competition to have total control of the station.

Haha, I understand, I meant to say that we should allow characters of any faction to have a preference to NanoTrasen AI. My bad.
AmoryBlaine Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 Oh, I understand now. So the current system locks out AI as a role, even though faction shouldn't really be a consideration when rolling for AI.
Crozarius Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 This sounds like a common sense change. Hell perhaps even considered a bugfix. +1 from me.
Wildkins Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 i've looked at the code and it looks like AI, cyborgs, and merchants are meant to be exempt from faction checks but evidently they're not bears more investigation so it's on the list
