Playable MU/TH/UR 6000 (MOTHER)

[alienghosttoast]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Not sure if this has already been suggested, however I think it can tie into the android/working joes idea that is in progress. I think there should be a playable AI based off of MU/TH/UR 6000. Much like MOTHER, players will be able to interact with it over the intercom system, with a computer core only accessible to the Captain.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
For one, being able to play as MOTHER or an AI system based off of it will add to the immersion of the Alien-based roleplay atmosphere. While I am not suggesting a gamemode, another benefit is that this can open up creative possibilities for them later on after the playable MOTHER is implemented. More benefits include that MOTHER can help out the crew if they need something that they cannot accomplish themselves, and I think an interactive MOTHER as opposed to a silent one would really make the game more immersive and interesting. One other benefit is that it allows for more variation in gameplay due to how the Captain can interact with MOTHER in the computer core (and presumably any traitors who hack into the core) and can perhaps upload changes in MOTHER'S directives/laws.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
This can work by allowing one player to act as MOTHER. She can communicate over the intercom system with the crew, open airlocks, and help the crew. MOTHER should perhaps come with a lawset similar to the Asimov laws adjusted for the Colonial Marines style. And perhaps instead of an AI upload, the computer core can have that role since only the Captain has access to it, perhaps his ID will be needed to make law changes. This can also allow for traitors to capture the ID to make a law change, or perhaps Special Order 937 from Weyland-Yutani. I also think perhaps it can be a whitelist job so that high roleplay experience can be expected from MOTHER, as to not cheapen the immersion of the game.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
If anyone is needed to help out with iconing the computer core, I would definitely be able to help with this, and I would be willing to contribute any type of help or tweaks if needed.

Mother is an admin/moderator character that only THEY can use.

It's for announcements and all that.

[ShortTemperedLeprechaun]

I suppose it would be alright if it was a whitelisted job, or an admin/mod monitored job, seeing as no one man should have that much power, unless they got support from the people who can fix their shit.

I don't see why it would be a problem to have MOTHER be a playable character for whitelisted users but still have the admins able to use the announcement system with MOTHER's name on it.

[ChickenShizNit8]

No...

I don't see how this could be of any practical use to the ship.

[Central Core]

I see AI as a good idea if the ship was expanded upon as seeing how small it is compared to a full space station there is less to be done by the AI I would not suggest the AI be mother as it is a admin thing but a AI in general would be nice to see as a white listed job.

[Sargeantmuffinman]

Also we don't have a captain it's the commander.

[Edgelord]

I don't see it having a place here.

+1 AI would have the law only to help. that way they can't BS kill anyone

[Yottawhat]

-1 A AI role isn't need. Besides, what would you do anyway? Use overwatch? Be a Bridge Officer. Manage the shuttle? Again, Bridge Officer.

Less people go BO. So why not?

[Jack McIntyre]

Nope -1, this has been brought up before and has been shut down in the past. Don't need a ai, will just slow everything down or could cause more problems.

[DerpinMcDerpDerp]

1- The AI would not let any marine come to harm and could be easily used to gain access to areas you normally don't have by saying :''Open this door or I am going to kill myself''

[Snypehunter007]

I highly doubt this is going to become something soon.

Asking this to be locked.

[LordeKilly]

no never. without mother, mentors and mods are basically useless.

[Snypehunter007]

Asking this to be locked.

[forwardslashN]

Really unlikely for this to happen for gameplay and lore reasons. Denied.
