Bioships (biological ships)

This is more of an idea for ship design but it would open up a whole new area of the mod.

If you don't know what a bioship is, it is a ship which is partly, of fully biological (If you've ever played half-life 2 the synth are basiclly bioships, except smaller).

Bioships are meant to have been engineered, and so the biological components would be engineered to survive in space.

A bioship would basically be an AI ship, which could be programmed (aggressive, defensive, patrolling ect.) with organic components, as well as regular ship components.

does anyone think that this could fit into futurecraft? or is it a bit pointless?

I don´t know, but as far as I´ve heard, we´re mostly into electronic-style computing systems.
On the other hand, it would be cool if people would be able to decide if they want to have bio-engineering or quantum-processors.

Actually, when I first saw this things title, I thought: WTH, TARDIS?

That's why biological ships are not very effective

If you can make something survive in the vacuum of space, you can probably make it immune to viruses/biological weapons.

And if done right, they could look pretty cool.

Nice, like voidhawks from the Night's Dawn book series!

It is a really cool idea, and I've always wanted to have biological ships, but they won't be in Futurecraft.

It happened in Stargate once. A Wraith ship got something similar to cancer and died.

I hope the Doctor´s Tardis doesn´t get malaria one time.

The TARDIS isn't a bioship.

Nope, just a very advanced vessel that seems to be able to cross the 7th dimension

It is a sentinent being.
a TARDIS doesn´t get built, it gets breeded.
->bioship

self sentient doesn't mean it has to be biological, and the TARDIS is waaaay more advanced than bioships (which are meant to be really advanced)

Well, okay, the Tardis isn´t a bioship on second thought.
The sentinent part is the core (high energy being, so not biological either) which allows for interdimensional, temporal and instant warp as well as the "bigger on the inside"-effect, while most of the rest is somewhat mechanical or similar.

If you've ever played earthbound, think of the core as similar to giygas (just not evil, and twice as weird)

You didn´t sig it. Your sig is some... randomness.

Also, this has turned into a terrible killing field of off-topicness.
I suggest someone soon get back on-topic before the mods lock this.

Technically on topic we were talking about what the tardis is like.

We were talking about the tardis as a bioship.
