So no hiveminds?

That's a relief. The Explorers' main weapon wouldn't do anything to the L'Er, besides make them a bit more uncoordinated.

While all this tech seems both behind and ahead of my races', I have a weapon that is much more deadly and efficient when compared to others. I can kill sentience, SENTIENCE.

But it's never been used on sentient robots, so idk what it'd do. I guess if I use it on them, you'd have to make the response, friendly-robot-nation-player.
