Made it up, read it on  panel or control board, the ship told him, previous research?I agree with FL, that's a good way to handle it. Though I'd also like to see the ship's AI evolve over time, assuming it has any. I've also considered that it would be interesting if the ship had its own agenda, or if the AI was implanted, or at least a separate AI implant had been established by aliens who had previously encountered the ship.Many years ago I ran a Star Fleet Battles/Role Play set of games once with a Federation Battleship called the Napoleon that became self-aware through alien intervention. The entire surface of the ship, not just the computers were housing for the AI.It was extremely interesting the way the crew, and later on the Federation and other aliens interacted with the ship, and sometimes how they acted at odds with one another. In a frontiers/no rescue situation like SGU, that kinda thing would be even more interesting and problematic.That's a clever observation and idea. The ship scavenges for raw materials. It's how I'd do it in a totally unknown, alien, frontiers environment.</blockquote>
