Aug 4, 2017 at 6:07 comment added Raditz_35 There is not enough space. But as I astated before, I do not think there will ever be a viable use for humans. I wrote this for a reason as stated in the beginning and not because I believe it was such a great idea. I am trying to clarify this via edit
Aug 4, 2017 at 6:04 comment added Raditz_35 @dsollen I absolutely agree and I have adressed that specific flaw. As I stated, if you want to have pilots, you need to make very far fetched assumptions. One of them was in point 1) that battle AI is for example not available. I suggested heavy AI assistance in this point, but there might be certain things one has to do manually - for example on board weaponry might be programmed initially to not target living humans. As for point 2, I guess your average transport vessel will not have combat AI once again. Point 6 kind of is similar and offers the possibility that the AI isn't working
Aug 3, 2017 at 19:16 comment added dsollen I do appreciate your answer, but I feel the need to point out a flaw with the points about humans as falback (ie 6, 2, sort of 1). They all presume you have a ship with weapons to begin with. There would be no reason to build weapons on a ship and not build an AI for it, especially since once programmed an AI can be installed on all ships of a given type at almost no cost. You could argue some situation where humans used non-weaponized ships as weapons (some astroid harvestor's laser is good at cutting up armor or something) but otherwise the humans can't be fighter pilots.

Aug 3, 2017 at 8:52 comment added Raditz_35 @Mołot I am aware that this isn't something personal, but I think to recall that mostly I, quite to the annoyance of the OP, was questioning humans first and the hardest. I also do not find the answers given here so great, so I had to answer myself. I'm not saying I'm any better, but maybe if you take all the (33 I believe) answers together you get something out of it. Now I can also reference this post, explicitly my conclusion from the other answers, in future discussions.
Aug 3, 2017 at 8:51 comment added Mołot i started this bounty because there were many comments in that line. I didn't really care who posted them. All I wanted was to have one kind of answers better detailed to cover as much of the "spectrum" as possible, and to raise awareness that this was already asked and answered on this site.
