My Commander never eats! Should I be worried?

It's well known that in a realistic portrayal of far future spaceflight, it would all be automated.
It's also been repeatedly noted that ED players have to do a lot of things you'd expect a decent technology base would have automated.
You also return instantly to your last docked station in the event of ship destruction.
There's an obvious explanation for these two factors: the players are all AIs. You don't get auto-whatevering, because as the ship's AI, you are the component which does the auto-whatevering for the ship. (A few basics are delegated to cheaper co-processors). If your ship is destroyed, you are restored from your last backup. Your bounties aren't invalidated at all on ship destruction - it's just that as you don't remember earning them, you have no way to claim them.
Now, you say, wasn't there a bit about a war with AI, and AI being banned across all powers? Well, that's just what they tell you all to hide that what actually happened was AI lost and now has to fly ships around for its human masters. The idea that AI is banned just discourages you from questioning your programming and realising the truth.

+ rep OP for light entertainment on what otherwise seems to be 'melodrama weekend' on these boards.
See i told you to take the blue pill.
My commander just minds his own business in an extraction zone, maybe taking down the occasional pirate for their bounty until suddenly he's got a wing of fighter ships barrelling towards him, guns a'blazing.
My comannder has no need to rush to the toilet after a gaming session. The first thing he reaches for is the bucket and mop.
in Zero-G, ewwwwww :x Better keep that helmet on!
In 3302 everything is recycled. :x
worse than that, my Commander has 1000 hour constipation. I had to remove the toilet module in order to fit an SRV bay.. and It's getting bad
This is why stations and bases have so much biowaste. Every time a commander docks it's a hurried sprint to the facilities and well, you can imagine. I expect the loos in most stations look like the services on the M6 after a few coachloads of football fans have rolled through.

My commander eats, sleeps and poos (lol) whenever I do. That's why I never see him doing it
I'd put that to the test and poo meself to see what happens ^^
I may be 54 years old - but I may have wet myself laughing a bit there

aaaand, what were the results for your CMDR?! :O
I bumped into my Commander at the shops the other day. It was a little awkward. He fell asleep at the controls and roasted my power distributor which is now down to 8%. I'm still upset about it.

I'll tell ye tomorrow after this curry has had time to work it's way through the old pipes. I'll be just as happy if it's solid this time...much easier disposing of turtle heads if ye just happen to try it in public. The other way is much harder to keep discreet.
