[HOE] More Junker questions

[Jim Burzelic <zombi_bobb@yahoo.com>]

Can you recharge spirit batteries and powerpacks by
hooking them up to Reactors?

How would you simulate fiberoptic cabling? I want to
hook two separate "vehicles" together, like a train,
and have them run off the same engine. But it's more
than just power (otherwise, I'd just use spirit
cable). I also want the AI's voice and sensors and
control to extend to the extra cars when attached. I
know it'd be easier to just build the powers into each
car, but I want the same AI overall. So I was thinking
some sort of fiberoptics so that the AI could "move"
from car to car. Or maybe just a system of sensor and
commo powers will work. What's everyone else think?

I want to make a detachable "brain" for my vehicle.
Wow, I just realized I'm basically recreating those
computer head things that controlled the cars in the
old cartoon pole position. What I was thinking is
using contact sensors and/or ranged sensors so that
the brain box (or junker) can still control the
vehicle remotely. For the device to control or send
commands of control, would I just use the Commo power
for sending data? Would I use this same method for
that AI problem above?
