[RFC] Theories on Handwavium
 
#17
OOC:
Quote:Some discussion in Legendary Channel with Kokuten/Wiregeek led to positing a couple things that should ALWAYS require wave during the scope of Fenspace.

First: Gravtech/FTL should always require the goop.
Er... Have you forgotten about http://drunkardswalkforums.yuku.com/topic/1717]the Miranda mission?

Quote:Second: True Sophont AIs cannot be awakened unless handwavium is part of the process.
No problems here with that, as long as we can get close with hardtech. (A decade from story-now, Noah will call it "Artificial Stupidity" because the systems are so bloody literal-minded that it's obvious they aren't thinking, no matter how complex they are.)

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
