[Spaceships] High-End Spaceships

[scc]

OK, let me explain what I was going through my head.

I was leafing through Spaceships 7 and I saw both the Sapient Brain and Ether Flukes. I've also been re-reading parts of Mecha and the bit on hive races caught my eye and suddenly it occurred to me that using the Psionic Sapient Brain and Ether Flukes and the option for bio-ships I could make the Vjara from Macross Frontier, or a least something like them.

One thing lead to another and with the psychic thing I'm thinking personalities could move between bodies and that possibly only a few of the spacecraft actually have self-aware personalities inside them, the rest a just mindless drones. I'm thinking a model here would be the Invid where the only self aware where the Regis, Ariel, Sera and Corg.

Having these personalities would allow PCs to have Rivals among the enemy ranks, ones that keep coming back even if they die. It could even allow them to have lovers of there an immature princess personalities that can take human form somehow.

I'm thinking the these personalities normally get to use better then normal craft. Some of this could be accomplished by selecting better systems like using Hot Reactionless Engines instead of standard ones, or picking better weapons for them, but they should defiantly have better defenses as well, particular armor, and that's not possible for organic armor with the current options.

I'm thinking that personalities have a variety of psychic powers.

I'm sorry for not being more forth coming in the OP but I'm thinking submitting things to Pyramid
