Playable Robots?
Since my backstory is that of being a robot artificial intelligence, could we see robots as a playable race? With their own unique requirements, such as requiring a recharge station or similar things and not requiring food and water (if that's a system in-game). They could also have the ability to upgrade their body with more advanced equipment, such as a sensor for sight or an alien robotic arm to enhance building or something similiar.
I'm attempting to write a backstory on this, found in the TRGT series in the Libary of Mankind found here:
https://board.dualthegame.com/index.php?/topic/1080-the-trgt-ai-series-p1/#entry12218
The idea I had in mind would be that TRGT-14 somehow managed to replicate himself with variations. To create new AI. So, do you think this could be a good idea? Just a way to implement AI into the game. These AI robots could also be programmed to manage your ships in the way they plan to auto ships, mine, refine etc, this role could be fulfilled by TRGT robots.
I accept this would be a great deal of work for the developers and also could strain on the server and generally just be a pain, but would you like to see TRGT robots as a playable race? Or something somewhat different? Let me know your ideas!
