I've been reading this old thread you're linking.
Because since the beginning I still can't understand one thing.
Why do ships have karma ?
I mean, ships are just pieces of metal.
They can't have Karma, because they're not capable of making choices.
Karma comes from the fact that you choose to kill this person or that person, or that monster.
Karma should only be linked to an avatar, and certainly not to a ship.
So I still wonder, I guess MA did it for a reason. Did they ?..
And so what purpose ?
