Hello,

If you want a realistic cost, what would it take to have that software created by characters?

With so many *AIs around, the vast amount of computing power in someone's pinkie, 'programming' at TL10 might be a conversation between the programmer and his 'interface' about the logic patterns and algorithms to use for specific issues.

I can just imagine a PC AI who's day job is being a programming interface for an architect or stock portfolio manager, while residing in orbit and being part of the party. Timesharing their attention between talking about the best material for the clients cabinets, while trying to data mine in prep for a mission...

Ok, who is running a game where I can play such a character? :)
