Yeah, but that can be avoided with proper maintenance, especially in a sci-fi environment, so one could still count them as "immortal". However, the major weaknesses balance that out.

That was my point, Hael. xD Machines aren't OP because they need maintenance, where biological beings don't, or to be more specific, bio beings automatically maintain themselves where machines will need another machine to help them. It is a weakness. Doesn't need to be balanced out.
As for explorer, umm...

Nah, jk. I'm thinking a war vet who was given a nice cushy job as captain of some ship on the inner territories. And then suddenly gets booted back out to the rim and actually has to do work for the first time since the war, life is so unfair! xD
