I suddenly had a nightmarish vision of the Starship morphing into a 200-foot-tall metal colossus striding down the street following the player characters. "I want to come along too! Why can't I come along on your adventures any more?"
Serves me right for accidentally tuning in to the Power Rangers this morning.

To add to this debate, your character could pick up avatars, one for each circumstance, and download his consciousness into an avatar as and when needed: for instance, robots that look human - one male, one female - for human interactions; a non-human-looking, clearly mechanical robot for the hard tasks that need doing, such as a maintbot; and even a defencebot, something that the character could pilot like a very small vehicle through the corridors of the ship in the event of a security breach and boarding.
Combine Book 9: Robots, if you have it, with Special Supplement 1: Biotech Vehicles, and you could have your character create a bio-organic lifeform that looks human, but which is in fact all robot.
And if you want to make things even more fun, you could clone copies of the character's consciousness and download them simultaneously into the above robot avatars, letting the other players have fun playing robots if they wish.

This reminds me of the Lords of the Diamond series by Chalker. Great idea Alex!

That was the Merton process that the humans developed. I'm referring to the process used by the aliens. It was robotic bodies created that were made to look like the original person. The Lords were promised those robot bodies for helping the aliens.
