Intelligent ships for the players

[Annatar Giftbringer]

JTAS 7 does feature the Astrogon, a rebuilt lab ship with robotic brain

 

[Annatar Giftbringer]

The patron encounter begins at p.81, and the ship itself on p.86.

The ship, it’s pinnace and air/raft all have robotic brains.

The Mindjammer Traveller conversion has rules allowing players to play intelligent ships (or other types of powerful AIs, such as the avatar of an AI that runs a planet). Lots of interesting ideas but quite difficult to backport to the Traveller universe.
