You know, I really hadn't considered it. 

My main concern is that I plan on having us visiting various planets or other ships a lot. That might not leave a Ship AI with as much to do, since leaving the ship would he more difficult. You could be limited compared to the others.

But, we could probably think of work arounds. (Maybe a portable device that carries your program? Or an android body you can hope into?) If that's what you wanna do, go for it.

Portable devices, communication up to the ship when needed, and such. Plenty of workarounds, yus yus. I'll probably make the Shipboard AI and a normal character, so in case they're separated from the ship I have a second character to play.
