Is it possible to capture an andron alive?

[Wolfgang]

baton seems no use to them

Androns are robotic.. you cant stun robotic things like drones and androns..

[Heimdall]

In short, no you can't so don't worry about trying. :)

[ManBehind]

You are wrong there , you can try using stun grenades. I find that 2-3 (same round - important) will knock it off.

[OneMug]

You can use the electro-shock nades too. If an andron is wounded, you might drop it with one e-s grenade but have more than one per turn ready to throw.

[Drages]

I am not wrong.. you can stun baton him, but he will die because of the emp damage it has.. its hard that i may be wrong about this kind of infos :)

This may not be the place for a philosophical debate, but one does not necessarily need a pulse and blood flow in order to be alive. It can be argued that all one needs to be "alive" is to be aware of one's surroundings, and to be (more or less) aware of one's self. Sure, there are currently no inorganic examples of such a thing on Earth at this juncture, there may come a time when the concept of "living" will need to be re-evaluated, as synthetics become increasingly more intelligent.

And at that point, when the concept of life being flesh, blood, bone and bile is revised to include a synthetic, one must retroactively look at simpler species. An ant -- a creature that lives to move objects with its mouth, and absolutely nothing else -- is a life. Under such a re-evaluated definition of life, if a simple creature like an ant is a life, then a simple synthetic like a cleaner drone or service robot is also a life.

alive and sentient do not mean the same thing, a machine is not alive, but theoretically could be sentient

[Twelvefield]

Ants = life
Robots = depends if Deckard really is a replicant
Meter Maid = no life

Seems cut and dried to me, end of philosophical debate.

Kidding, of course, I love half-assed philosphical debates on STEAM, and firmly believe everybody should be engaged in at least one.

Love how this discussion asked a yes or no question and now people are debating free will and life itself. GG

The game doesn't require that you capture a live Andron does it?

I captured a live Andron leader once. Gotta see if I can find the screenshot of the xenopedia entry.

Were you using any mods? There is a mod that allows you to capture Androns and start an Andron revolt.

There is no official Xenopedia entry for Andron capture.
