5ER page 459 explains that Computers and AIs don't get senses for free. One needs to buy senses for them and/or hook them into the senses at a base or in a starship.
I have a player working on an AI build. He checked out a couple of published AIs (Plato and Socrates for Ravenswood and the Champions) and found they were hooked into base sensors built as Clairsentience. The AIs do not have senses of their own.
5ER page 140 explains that purchasing Clairsentience only allows him to perceive at a distance using any Senses he already possesses that belong to that Sense Group.
Which of these is correct:
1) Senses should have been bought for Plato and Socrates. As written they cannot actually use the Clairsentience base sensors.
2) Plato and Socrates were built correctly. An AI hooked into Clairsentience base sensors can use those sensors as though it has the senses bought with the sensors.
