Uncrewed forces change the risks commanders accept

Carrier Command: Gaea Mission and Supreme Commander act as fictional laboratories for distributed task forces of automated assets. Even in a game, knowing that a unit has no crew changes the risks a player is willing to take with it. Losses become acceptable when replacements can be built, and a strategy can shift toward generating enough units to overwhelm an opponent. The game behaviour is an illustration rather than a direct forecast of real combat. Removing crews changes platform design, commanders' tolerance for attrition, and the demand for production capacity.
