Hello Johannes, we are all driven by our instincts, but it is a mark of sentience to be able to overcome them. So what if the bioship has been bred by humans with a big gun -- space combat is dangerous, when it isn't boring! > So thoose frolicking in astereoid belts on their own, > without a mission will likely be rare.

My assumption was that the brain grows with the ship, rather than being implanted at some stage. * Even if the bioship doesn't get delusional, what would the shock of finding out about the sim do to the personality? * The training sims remind me of OGRE.
