Hah, yeah, I sort of figured.

Let's see now.

For equipmet, there will exist [i]pre-made[/i] things, such as basic weapons, basic armor and basic consumable items. Of course, all palyers are free to suggest ideas and additions. Obviously, nobody is going to start off with a fusion-powered anti-matter gun that deals 5 damage per shot, has 6 attacks and also comes equipped with a barrel-mounted auto-grenade launcher that can be fired as a free action. But once we get past the prologue, the world will open up (or universe) and the things yyou can get and equip will be many and varied.

Just keep in mind that some items are going to be the asme, just cosmetically different. Like, someone could wear a fulls et of Carpace Armor and someone else could wear some kind of Synth-Fibre Metal mesh suit, but functionally they both would be classified as "just Medium Body Armor". This is because, making individual items, with individual stats, for every single thing in the entire universe would be an astronomically unpleasant undertaking.

Of course, "special" equipment with unique traits or rules or abilities will be able to be found.

As for AI and robots.

Yes. Both AI, androids and "base robots" exists. As mentioned in the setting, the galaxy has a varied culture and socirty, so how people treat AI is dependant on where they're from and how that location views it.

As for playing an AI or android or robot... At the moment, it's a no, see "Quick Pre-Answers" in the original post. IF a lot of people want to play as non-humans though, for [b][i]pourely cosmetic reasons[/i][/b], then we can see about changing this though.
