Synthetic Council: Q & A

Sleepy Retard · Post by **Sleepy Retard** » 13 Oct 2018, 17:47

In this thread, you'll be able to ask questions and a council member will start. I'll start.

MattAtlas, what synths can't do:
M56D
CAS
Mortar
Grenades
Firearms
Grenade Launchers
Driving or firing the tank

Q: Synthetics aren't mechanically restricted from using M56Ds. Are they allowed to use them?
A: No. While mechanically allowed, it is the exact same as firing a gun, but more stationary.

Q: If a CLF member engages you in combat, and you accidentally kill him, is it a rule break?
A: The CLF are apart of a hostile faction, and thus marine law does not apply to them. Preferably, you should try to avoid killing humans, even hostile, but it is not a rule break to do so

Sulaboy asks:
Q: Why do we need medhuds?
A: The engineers at The Company know that designing very delicate and precise programming into the opticals of every synth is doable, but expensive. Therefore, the engineers at The Company designed the synthetic units with the ability to use any optical device usable by a human. This lets you, the buyer, give your Synthetic any optical device without further programming by The Company

Q: Why do synthetics need surgical masks?
A: While bacterium cannot survive and thrive on synthetic skin and internals, it's entirely possible for bacterium to live long enough to be transferred to the patient. Staying safe never hurts.

Q: Why do xenos attack synthetics?
A: While Xenomorphs attempt to capture what they can reproduce with, and kill that which meets not the criteria, Synthetics may come to harm by Xenomorphs exhibiting the second behaviour. While some may be docile, some may recognize the synthetic to either be useless for reproduction and therefore to be quelled, some will realize that the synthetic helps the tallhost, and must be destroyed.

Q: Who makes the Synthetics?
A: The ever benevolent Company of course. Commonly referred to as The Corporation, The Company, and often mistaken for Weyland-Yutani. Remember, Weyland isn't real, but the Company is.

Q: How often do we have to listen to stupid orders?
A: Stupid orders are memey, low RP. You can treat them as invalid, as you are a high roleplay role and above dabbing and doing stupid stuff.

Asked by: Alky.
Q: Do Synths have to listen to the CMO?
A: In regards to medical practices, yes. The new guidelines will make this clear.

Asked by: JennerH
Q: Why does the USCM employ Working Joe Synthetics?
A: In a pure utilitarian sense, Working Joes get the job done. Like many things military, such as MREs, they are functional and get the job done. If the commander wishes to save money and get a synthetic that doesn't need to fit in, and just works - a Working Joe is always there to provide

Q: Why do working Joe's have hair?
A: It's actually just a protective shielding so you don't see inside bits.

Q: How does remote overriding work on a Company synthetic?
A: The same way with The Company fax machines, it works by [REDACTED], which sends out [REDACTED] by utilizing solid [REDACTED]

Any other questions, I will edit onto the main post with the answer, alongside the names of who answered it, and who asked the question.

Who is Dave, and where is HR? Does HR stand for high roleplay? When is the vendor coming? Why do we need med huds, and surgical masks? Why do Xenos attack us? Who manufactures the synthetic's in our lore. How often are we allowed to not listen to stupid orders like "Do the robot"?

Do Synthetics have to listen to the CMO since they are civilians?

Why are working Joes aboard the almayer? And why can they have hair?

In the completely-impossible instance Weyland-Yutani The Company^TM remotely overrides a synthetic, how exactly does communication occur between the remote operator and the synthetic?
