Where are all the robots?

[Dad Rock]

I must have seen this poster a thousand times when docking all across the Bubble, and yet it only just struck me, where are all the robots? Now, I know about Jaques Station already, but if I'm not mistaken, even Jaques is more of a cyborg than a robot, reconstructed during some long forgotten war and now more machine than human. But the advert in the screenshot above seems to imply full-blown robotic creatures, perhaps with artificial intelligence. I'm genuinely intrigued by this...

I believe AI is illegal.

Where they went is one of the game's mysteries.

The first rule of robots is: Never make robots look like people. The second one is: Never take a robot into space. I think that covers it.

They're supposed to be occupying Multi-Pew seats for solo players, antisocial PG players, and Open players with no friends.
They're not, but they're supposed to be.
It was in that ancient document about what Elite was supposed to have in the future, that we're still waiting for....

Maybe it was the Butlerlian Jihad.

Some theorise that all players are Robots and humans do not exist anymore.
There have been threads on it before

Spooky. That could explain the Holo-Me situation. We could just be altering our robots appearance. I don't feel safe anymore.

Now you know why man has always been afraid of living dolls!

It is because we know the horrors of the future. We have seen it. We have been there. Beyond the veil. Time is interconnected.

What to do mean? Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

The Eden Corporation has them all. I've fought most of them.

What are you doing Dave?

I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

One of the other rules is: Who ever is trying to convince you that it's ok, is the villain.

Still being made if you believe the station ads.

I thought bots weren't approved of in the forum.

Having a sentient rogue robot race zipping about in the space lanes in their own ships wanting to, of course, kill every human being might be...interesting.

 

[X-Terminator]

I wondered the same but I assume NPC are robots.
