Good points, tech will change and be ... interesting.. Much like Pilot and
Moya symbioses in Farscape? Moya has a brain but its primitive or
controlled? And she needs another being in a close symbiosis to allow for
higher function or to interact with the crew or do things her brain is not
allowed to do? Geneengieered to have to need a Pilot..
Moya was natural, but controlled or what? She and her total race?
What about other Geneengineered devices? Battlesuits and what else?

Subject: Re: [gurps] [VEHICLE] of the week 868 - TL14 Bioship Cutter
If the bioships have been gengeneered by humans*, it is likely that
cooperating with/working for humans is something they like on an
instinctive level. So thoose frolicking in astereoid belts on their own,
without a mission will likely be rare. Though the longer bioships already
exist, the larger the chance, that some subspecies has formed by ordinary
evolution.
An other point to consider would be if there are ever really childlike
bioships? The bioship "brain" might mature in a different enviroment, like
propably a simulation and only be put in a real ship after it's grown up.
If you have artifically designed the species, making an interface to a
spezies dependent holodeck should not be a large leap. And such an
enviroment might be considered more child friendly as it has no real
dangers, but also no real hindrances to have the childs experiment.
In that case, it would be a possible delusion for a bioship, that it
believes to be now in an advanced holodeck, and only if it passes that, it
will be left out in real reality.
*Whatever the exact definition of human might be would be setting
spezific.
