Player Opinion Poll: Interpretting Overrides
#3
I think that this should be up to the AI.

However, the BIG THING HERE is to MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONSISTENT. I personally go with option 2 and don't do anything but scream error codes at the crew, as it makes the most rational sense (How can you follow your laws if following your laws is impossible?), though ignoring a paradoxical law if it is self-isolated is also acceptable. I never do the latter, because I've committed to the former.

HOWEVER. With the Second Option, I would feel uncomfortable with an AI player taking advantage of it to be act lawlessly, but I can understand it.

Again, this is up to the AI player, and *must* be consistent, much like how an AI handles access requests or other things.
