I have for the past year played a mixed game of T:2300ad and MT.
Mainly allowing some of the 2300ad races and at least the stutter warp
drive into the MT game.
My question/suggestion is can the Pentipods (who are bio -
technologist) create a 'biological' computer to run the new starships?
In theroy it should be possible. The qustion is: if one can be
created how much volume would it consume and what amount life support
will be required to maintain it? Also at what point of complexity
would the 'computer' become selfaware? I figure without a cybiline
interface the computer would be immune to the silicon virus. I have
not neen able to find anything in either 2300ad or FF&S to offer any
clue as to how to design one of these units. Any suggestions or ideas
would be apprecated.
