Vehicles in Champions question.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.frp.super-heroes (More info?)

I have a character who has a space ship which he controls through a
remote link. I wanted to make it a vehicle, with an AI, and he radio's
the orders to it.

Firstly, can I do that with simple radio listen and transmit, or
should I go with mind link?

Secondly, do vehicles require life support to travel in space?

Thirdly, do I need to buy LS useable by others or something to allow
people to survive on my ship in space?

Thanks!

Since it's an AI and can take actions on its own, Radio would work. But
since it's a spaceship you might want Mindlink's longer range.

Since vehicles are generally objects, they don't need Life Support for
themselves.

Vehicle Life Support affects the passengers by default.

Depends on the effect you wish to achieve... RL&T would mean you had
to vocalise the commands... which in turn would alert anyone nearby to
what it was about to do... Mindlink could be used to simulate a
subvocal transmitter and receiver unit, so things could effectively be
commanded, even in a silence field, and not be overheard... you might
want to buy it with the "flashed as Radio Sense group" (-0) to
signify its technological basis.

No, AIs do not need to breathe, and are technically not "alive" to
need their Life Supporting.

I would suggest, In My Honest Opinion, that yes... a ship which
regularly travels into deep space should have full life support... but
I would not think it needed the useable by others advantage... as it
would effect every part of the ship, thus anyone inside it. But given
the vaccuum, radiation and intense cold, you'd haveto buy pretty much
most of the LS categories, except age (unless there is stasis pods)
and disease (unless theres an inherent "biofield" that removes
contaminants). Any episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation will
give you plenty of ideas.... or Deep Space 9's Defiant Warship.

Buy The Ultimate Vehicle and/or Star Hero.

You could do it with radio listen/transmit, probably with MegaRange added on.
However, the most common simulation I've seen for using Mind Link is "Encrypted
Radio Communications" -- if you're worried about security this may be a better
way to go.
