Entropy Unlimited's answer to the Universe, The Entropy-Class can manipulate the very fabric of space within a 9.7 LY radius. It's weapons, armor, and computing systems all approach the theoretical maximum.

According to your logic, they will also eventually be compelled to commit mass suicide, so that the single survivor can document the results...

Since certain answers render others unobtainable (eg, "What will happen if I kill this man today?" vs "What will happen if he lives for another twenty years?") Entropy either has some system of determining which answers are the most valuable, or they are content to solve some problems by pure deduction and extrapolation. Either way, they will most likely prefer to devote their physical resources (and time) to whatever they perceive as more interesting questions.
-
But m point IS STILL VALID, if they are looking for ALL KNOWLAGE then they will eventually do anything and everything, including wiping out all life at some point along the way.

Given that this ship alone contains multiple Matryoshka brains (supercomputers so powerful they require Dyson spheres to power them), it seems likely that it can solve most puzzles by pure deduction. My feeling is that Entropy Unlimited will soon (at least on a cosmic timescale) either migrate to another universe or ascend to a higher plane of existence. There just isn't much left for them here.
-
What about the question of "What would happen if we simply... to (Lets say the Korlornians...)"? After attaining all possible knowlage WITHOUT warfare and conqoring, there are only so many options, but the question above still stands and logically (for Entropy Unlimited IS controled by a programmed AI [No matter how addaptivly programed it is...]) I will almost certainly decide to answer even the most trivvial of questions if they are closest.
-
Since they demonstrably have no need or desire to conquer other societies, other than in (sometimes preemptive) self-defence, it seems to me that with every question answered, their only logical next step would be to move to another universe and look for new questions. They have little, if anything, to gain by sticking around here ater achieving their goal.
-
Or the simplest solution of all - just don't fight the thing. The existence of a ship like this shows that Entropy Unlimited is nearing the limits of technological possibility. Their stated purpose is to acquire all possible knowledge - if we just leave them to it, with a ship like this they will achieve that goal in a short time.

Lol, are we planning to really try something like this???
-
Or use a shield which shunts incoming fire into another universe or through some odd dimension. Or armour made of neutronium (which can't be compressed) held in shape by force fields (which, for the sake of argument, can't be distorted by gravity), in which case the black holes will be unable to harm our hull in any way (though this may not protect our crew, if any).

@Technomancer: Agreed, its not as if the Entropy could manuver around faster than the other ship even with the field, since they both have one, so it would be virtuallly impossible to be hit by the drivers unless you fly in fron of the barrel, which i 4.something million kilomaters...
