>>47969798Is that a deadbeat pilot? heh. Pilots gone berserk are always fun, pushing for ever more power at the cost of your sanity and health is good setup for drama. It a classic in cyberpunk for one, I enjoyed how they did it in Edgerunners. It definitely feels like the relationship between the pilot and its AI is going to tend to the parasocial. Or rather social, depending on the AI's sentience level, AIs being able to also go rogue makes it sound like they're pretty sapient.
I think I have a pretty good idea of how the deadbeat mechs are gonna be now, I'll go for some kind of biomechanical deal, at least for some of them. They'll living creatures that fuse their skeletal system with the pilot's, and I think there'll be that flooded cockpit thing, always thought that was a cool feature.
