I always thought of them more like the machines of the Terminator universe, but AI wanting to kill humans goes back to 2001. Anyone have thoughts on Luminous based missions?
Ohhh this gives me an idea:
Petinents want to eliminate all sentient life-forms
The Luminuous AI want to elimiate all sentient life-forms...
I always thought that the Luminous was a manufacturing AI that's went insane. I recall one of the items says 'made by Luminous Nanofacturing' or something of the like?
As for being like the borg, their ships already are in a way. If you use one sort of weapon, it responds by creating ships that are immune to that, etc.
In reply to the beginning of the post - I've got to agree about the endgame being a little tedious, but its hardly hard. If you've got the blue etherium shield upgrade, ICX, and two different weapons (I usually go for Akan 600 and OmniTev9 - if I can get it) the only thing that can touch you is the Ranx Dreadnought, and even that can be slaughtered from a long way off.
I think that random encounters from the Kobol gunships and Ares Cometfalls, escorts for the Ventari and Hurin destroyers and alternate weapons for the different Luminous configurations would spice things up a hell of a lot until the arrival of the Terratons in v.96b.
