Tom said:I can only hope that we can treat ST tech in the same manner that allows us to tone down other stuff OOCly. We saw something wrong with millions of spaceships, US vs USSR type tech/race oneupmanship, and overpowered magic & psionics. We've already knocked one down OOCly (magic & psionics) and are working on the others. I think we can all agree on a desire for a balanced, easier to understand RP world.
In order for the data to be transferred, it must be read from the original and stored in the new body. It doesn't make sense to have the ability not to be able to copy ST data if you can read, write, and store it. In the SARP, mind ("soul") data has always been treated like files on a computer (humans having one big crazy file and Nekovalkyjra also having many, many little digital ones).ST tech is good for the purpose that the name implies "Transfer", but for use as a giant character "copying machine"
And I think what the majority of people are saying here is that a little more realism would actually promote more FUN.

Having ST tech be transfer only would therefore be unrealistic. It'd also be unrealistic NOT to have ST tech in a world with such advanced computers and scanners.

Logic is better than instinct because it's logical. If we relied on instinct instead of logic, we'd be no more than any other common animal.Biological reflexes are ALWAYS better than a computers, no matter how good it is. We react on instinct, they on logic.
This is already in development for the CCG, actually.we could have a few preset character templates that a person can choose for the Star Army.
This is actually already the case.Though if everyone played like that everyone might realize that not only are there characters immortal, but with existing tech a ship can be made nearly immpossible to destroy too, and why even fly the damn things ourselfs anyways, even though were immortal we've got "such advanced computers" that are smart enough to control them

Wait what?!?! -Scribbles head explodes-Wes said:]This is actually already the case.
Of course, that's totally wrong because computers can go though that logic way faster than humans can. If you need an example, play Tekken 5 against the PS2 on the highest difficulty sometime.Luke said:Kayto Styles said:Rob said:Biological reflexes are ALWAYS better than a computers, no matter how good it is.

I think rob here (correct me if i'm wrong) was originaly talking about piloting a ship, if an enemy is firing upon you, logic would take far to long to decide where to evade, whereas instinct allows you to make quick evasive action before you are shot up.
