A thousand years into the future it would be quite impossible for any human being to board a ship whose non thinking AI security system didn't want them there.

In Elite lore the AI became too clever, people were afraid and banned / banished the AI(s).

I think the lore refers to thinking machines that were self aware and conscious beings, but non sentient robots/ai that behave like tools or equipment would be fine.

True that.
And much easier to fool.

* Internal sensor array activated*
Security systems coming online.

Hey look, something's happening! I told you this thing still had power. Maybe we could fix it up and have a second ship. Let me just see if I can override the security measures.

Security breach detected. Removing threat.

Wait a sec, what's that? Oh hell, shut it off! Shut it off!

without having read this thread - why would i want that, when i can just roll the ship around a bit and can look at whatever is there from my pilot seat?
