I demand Mobile Suits.

I hope you mean by mobile suits you mean they'll be computer controlled, rather than piloted by a bishie, cold hearted 18 year old boy?

Strike Witch 06-12-2009 04:39 PM

Wow, you just generalized Gundam so much.

Dixanadu 06-12-2009 04:44 PM

Indeed I did, but on the more serious side, I don't think anyone would be willing to fund it. Not to mention have the funds to support all that crap, and people improving on it every second of the day.

Strike Witch 06-12-2009 04:48 PM

Hey, people spend money on drugs and casinos, what's one more flashy, useless, most likely detrimental thing?

Dixanadu 06-12-2009 04:54 PM

Drugs and casinos do not fly, nor do they sport weapons capable of leveling cities.

Ever been to Los Angeles?

OH GOD NO MOBILE DOLLS ARE SATAN

Dixanadu 06-12-2009 05:18 PM

If Satan is a mobile suit, then call me Optimus Prime.

Wings of Fire 06-12-2009 05:20 PM

OH GOD YOU MISSED MY IN UNIVERSE REFERENCE.

THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER

Strike Witch 06-12-2009 06:05 PM

You fucking fail, Dix.

Also Wing was too preachy.

Off the top of my head, vehicles piloted by computers would likely be more efficient.

Do you mean military vehicles? or regular cars and trucks?

Oh yes, still loved it to bits though.

I liked the dub more, Scott McNeill is an excellent Voice Actor. He also does Ali in Gundam 00, so <3 all around.

There's already Power Armor mockups.

I still don't get what you were saying....

FUCK
FINE
IF A ROBOT IS DRIVING A MILITARY VEHICLE
IT WILL NOT FLEE OUT OF FEAR
IT WILL NOT HAVE ANY HUMAN DEATHS WHEN IT BLOWS UP
IT WILL BE FAR MORE ACCURATE

COOOOOOOOOCKS

Too bad its more expensive :\

yes, but it costs more than humans, does not have a motive to survive, can not be reasoned or negotiated with, and If it does not flee out of fear, then that is a disadvantage, If it doesn't have fear then it will charge into battles that it has no chance of winning. And it can "glitch", and start killing the wrong people.

This isn't really gonna happen you know. They will probably make something like "Microsoft Windows Brain Reader", where you think and it outputs the complete opposite.

Can't put a price on human life.
:

does not have a motive to survive,
Someone's been watching far too many Super Robot shows... an AI would have survival as its prime directive, that's pretty good motive.
:

But you can negotiate with it's master.

No, it won't because of a little thing called logic.
:

The chances of a computer system glitching to change target are pretty close to 0%, no matter what movies tell you. It'd probably have glitched into shutdown first.

1.a human's life can be priced, but it depends on who they are and how important they are.
2.I hate shows about robots that malfunction and take over the world, besides even if I did, I don't have cable so there isn't much cartoon robot shows on my T.V. also what would that motive be? so that it can serve another 10 years working in the military blowing up people and not getting paid.
3.In some situations you don't have time.
4.I guess your right on that.
5.Yes but even if it didn't malfunction and confuse the target, it could accidently open fire on it's team without trying.

Right. We're gonna make HURRDURR IMMA COMPUTER MACHIEH

PEWPEWPEW

IMMA CHARGE ENEMY FORCES HURRDURR HURRDURR

Plus, not every vehicle needs it's own computer. They could all be wireless connected or someut.

it's true, who do you think would be worth more to the world, a hobo (not the moderator named hobo) or the president?

OddjobAbe 06-13-2009 03:07 PM

It's not fucking true. If I came across a hobo, and he was a nice enough person, I would deem him as worthy of living as anyone else. You're fucking wrong. Do you have no respect for human life? Do you have any respect for any kind of life?

okay, but I mean who would be more important to have a hobo who was mean and stupid, or a president who was nice and smart

Wings of Fire 06-13-2009 03:18 PM

Stop confusing definitions.

MA 06-13-2009 03:22 PM

you cant just lump them into different categories BTG. life's more complicated than that.
