What if a person, hypothetically, created an army out of psi constructs, or at least a very large number of them?

Couldn't a person also make the army visible and powerful?

And couldn't the constructs be created with artificial intelligence and their own hierarchy?

And as a last thought, wouldn't also be possible to create them in such a fashion that they could function independent of your life and survive by filter feeding energy?

I don't think they will be visible unless you are very good at flaring. To the other questions, I think that it is possible, but for now I think you should practice on make one pet for now if you already haven't. Smile If you do decide to make one, I'd like to know about it. Everything about it!!! Smile

I have a swarm of constructs, though they're not intelligent. I suppose if I really wanted to I could give them intelligence.
In case you're wondering how many I have, I lost count. I programmed them to self-replicate so I wouldn't have to concentrate on every one of them. And then some of them died so the numbers are all screwed up now.

Hypothetically it could be possible, but aside from the experience gained what would be the point of it? A massive collection of intellegent beings that just sit there?

You , hypothetically, could do all of those things. It would require a lot of practice, though. As for the usefulness, I guess that would depend on your imagination...

Basically, you give it a shape, like an animal or something, and program it with certain qualities, and jobs. Make sure you shell though, or it will dissolve into the air. You can also just have a pet for fun, or a little psi companion. I believe that after time they will start to develope their own little personality, but make sure they know who's boss.

The idea is large indeed but an army? eh... combat? What about one super construct pet thing?

haha! "Havn't the foggiest (for psi_manipulator_3000)". You know me too well.
It could be useful to have an army of constructs. But I would personally call them a group of constructs. I would have one to heal me, one to give me some extra energy for sport and the likes, one to tell me if someone is lying to me (very handy). Bunches of them. The only problem is that they are hard to keep track of. If I could have only one, I would make it able to do everything and give it it's own personality and communication means(telepathy and stuff). coooooooool. You know what they say..." A psipet is a man's best friend." Laughing

yes, but only if the person is capable of doing this in the first place. with constructs, you are limited to what you can do: if you can filter feed energy yourself, then you can program constructs to.

also, constructs don't have a big longevity. by the time you are done programing your constructs, you would have to go back and replenish their energy. now, if you don't run into either of these problems, it is still a very tedious task that will take a lot of time to accomplish. and after using all that energy on the first 'n' constructs, you won't make the constructs as strong anymore, and their strength will decrease exponentially.

but don't let all this daunt you, you may find a way around it Wink

I have my construct group/army all telepathically linked so that when I program one it sends it to all the others. It doesn't work 100% of the time but it still beatrs programming them individually.

Nah, what would be the use of an army of constructs? I voted no.

I would just have my psipet do a bunch of things instead. Then he would be strong : ) .

I think it a good idea for practice but truth be told they would be asorbed by someone eventaully else you would disrupt the balance of nature. Good thought though. Laughing

I totally agree with that idea. It's pretty much law in most video games, and animes, and any other video or whatever; one with the power of 100 is much more powerful than 100 1's power each...

Thank you Lucidness.


However, the only 1 thing I can think an army would do is simply run around and confuse somebody. That can also be done by a pet though Razz .
