Very nice, but expensive.

How about a dirt cheap autopilot?

For Corejob,

Basic Operations Computer
Designed by Kurega Gikur, produced by Flybi Night Industries.
Ecnojob TLC-1012 22000-00-LL002-1012 Cr57,600 (Heavily Discounted)
15 liters, 11 kg
TL=12
15/5/0 CPU
20/0 storage
Low Data
Limited Basic
Apparent Intelligence-1, Apparent Education-2
4/10 (mesh)case
Pilot-1
Nav-1
1 power interface, 1 brain interface, 1 program interface
1 flat video display

Here is the deal, I’ll sell it to you but don’t trust your life to it.
By the way the case is kind of flimsy so don’t rough it up.

 

[Todg]

from over 4 million to less than 60 thousand! Wow! Given that you have to pay Cr6000 for a pilot, a robotic pilot is actually cost effective fairly quickly. I seem that something a a bit more expensice and reliable could be quite popular, particularly for cargo ships.

Robotic freighters anyone?

 

[parmasson]

You want a freighter that is mostly robotic/automated?
Hmmmm. One Mk XV + a Mod. 4 + a few robots= fun

The advantage of the Mk XV over the Ecnojob is that it never sleeps, will not draw retirement benefits, won’t go on strike, don’t get so drunk that it forgets to close the airlock and is tied into the ship’s systems. Oh did I mention that it can be the pilot, navigator, turret gunner and run the autodoc if are injured. Also . . . if you are dirtside on some godforsaken planet and scream “Signal GK” into your radio it can try to save you. With a 40% synaptic CPU it has the capability to recognize hijackers and threats before you do.

Now if you believe in Virus then installing this thing on your ship is a nightmare. It will be smarter and faster than you with control over all the ship’s vital systems, a jump drive and a couple of triple turrets. But that would never happen.

However . . .
Computers like this can make mistakes, they have no real sense of humor and could misinterpret critical orders leading to a real mess. The Mk XV is smart but it is not creative. Unique situations will baffle it. Any event outside its instructions will cause it to perform the next more logical function.

It can become very skilled at what it does but can’t grow beyond that and has no sense of loyalty. Crack its formidable security and forget it.

Good thing that never happens with humans.

 

[Todg]

Why a voder? I'm thinking about a totally soph free freighter. Dispense with all the space needed by a crew, have a provision for remote piloting once in system, or a latch on for a tug. Who cares about a crew in J-space?

 

[parmasson]

The idea is that these are multi-purpose robots. Also they are for the characters to talk to when they board the freighter. I had thought that there would be one human aboard as a system admin. but I guess why not have totally robot crew.
