July 27, 200619 yr Well, in Star Wars, didn't the baddie use the Republic to exchange his really idiotic droids, drones and bots for creative thinking Clones? Using George Lucas logic doesn't work in most cases ("ONLY a Sith deals in absolutes!") but it makes sense to me.
July 27, 200619 yr Which was better: Top Gun Or Stealth Thank you and good night(or day, depending where you are on the globe. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
July 27, 200619 yr If you simply want to reduce your pilot casualties then yes. However keep fixed in your mind the fact that a remote pilot means you have a remote link. 1. Jamming. 2. Delays. 3. Malfunctions. 4. Enemy viruses (see Steve's point about BSG) Which can, however, be offset by 1. Absence of human vulnerabilities like oxygen, heating. 2. Absence of fear factors Also bear in mind that lethal force is best kept in the hands of humans IMO. Not soulless conscienceless robots. "It wasn't lies.

July 27, 200619 yr Man, I saw the movie "Stealth" (well, parts of it...it was too bad to watch completely) and AI is definitely not the way to go. Those things go rogue too easy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's why I hate, hate, hate such movies. According to Hollywood, anything artificial that can be more intelligent than a living person is a bloodsucking baby-killing machine.

July 28, 200619 yr The world needs power armors. Give us power armors! Edit: Kiro, you have achieved a new low, congrats. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some of the technologies needed are already out there.
July 28, 200619 yr did sombody say power armor? HELLOOOOO KITTY! Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
July 28, 200619 yr Well, in most space movies, why are there always a freaking pilot in a ****pit of fighters? There's no emotional-tugging human drama in wondering if a machine is going to survive a battle or not. At least I'd assume that's the exec's reasoning. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
July 28, 200619 yr Do you people ever read threads? I mean, besides the starting post? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
July 28, 200619 yr Well, in most space movies, why are there always a freaking pilot in a ****pit of fighters?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's because it's a movie, and not a lot of people want to watch a computer with no emotions fly into danger.

One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
July 28, 200619 yr Well, in most space movies, why are there always a freaking pilot in a ****pit of fighters?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's because the audience can't empathize with coldhearted machines. Heck, most humans are afraid of them on one level or another. The underdog starfighter pilot from humble origins on the other hand is a real crowd pleaser. The sappy audience gets all emotionally attached to them, to the point where they're sitting on the edge of their seats when s/he's in danger. Edited July 28, 200619 yr by Fenghuang RIP
July 28, 200619 yr Dude, doesn't anyone read the rest of the thread besides just the first post anymore?

July 28, 200619 yr Spoken like a true man. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.

July 28, 200619 yr I do, well I lay back and still sit on the edge of the seat. That doesn't have anything to do with excitement though. And I correct my position every 15 minutes. Not really a movie-goer. Edited July 28, 200619 yr by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.
