My sides.

On the topic of vehicles, Beowulf of Trinity isn't piloted by a person, but is merely a heavily-armed and armored synthetic creature. He retains the capacity to make decisions, can exercise acute control over his environment, and can engage in lengthy and complex sessions of conversation with other beings of like-minded intelligence. 

[quote]Also, this isn't just based on speculation, I had a conversation about it with LeeRoy on skype a while back. I asked him about the ship thing sheerly out of curiousity. Honestly, I think you don't get an explanation because he's tired of hearing you whine about it, which is what it appears you are doing.[/quote]

I notice that whenever someone in this thread performs an epic fuck-up of monumental scale, and then attracts the animosity of one or more people, the defending party immediately flags the aggressors as whiners and quickly retires from the argument. This would be a sound tactic if the aggressors didn't have legitimate points...

But, well---yeah.
