Who's the crew, robots?

[Phenir]

Suspend your disbelief and just imagine they get more robo arms to replace fighters faster or whatever.

Well the Brilliant blurb says '' Typical of autonomous ships, there are no concessions made for human life support or even bodily access. Repairs are carried out by a swarm semi-intelligent utility drones which travel via zero-atmosphere conduits wormed through the ship's mass.''
So i assume it either has more conduits or more drones dedicated to the fighter bays than normal. Or both?

<makes a note>

Oh no poor Scintilla and Apex are gonna get their unregulated excess of fighter bay drones discarded!

[Nettle]

An idea: exclude it from automated ships and make the bonus basekit for their respective in-built hullmod. [REDACTED] carrier capabilities are sad enough as they are.

If there is a unique way Energy Bolt Coherer acts by changing its icon and effect depending on whether it is put on automated ship or not. I could imagine Expanded Deck Crew acting in this way also. Unless this was a joke, then... Uhhhhhhhhhh... Never mind.

Well it...doesn't actually require any more (human) crew when you put it on automated ships. So maybe the name should be something else but functionally it's okay. Maybe it's referring to robotic crew if it's on automated ships.

Would a bunch of maintenance drones be considered ''crew''?

I would honestly just make it increase supply drain. EDC more or less just costs more money.

it costs most importantly OP, and because carriers are OP-starved that basically disallows them from having any other function but sending out fighters.

Just rename the hullmod to something crew agnostic.  Otherwise, it works just fine on Automatic Ships.  The two Remnants that can use it need all the help they can get (when used by the player via Automated Ships); no need to nerf it for them.
