Yeah, in SMAC Ace specially says he's not the original, and neither was the one he got the job from. That's before Lister takes Rimmer to see the Ace graveyard (sniff).
I wonder how many of the consecutive Aces were also human versions of Rimmer and not hologram versions? With multiple realities and universes, it seems reasonable to say that Rimmer wouldn't be a hologram in all of them. However there's also the whole thing with the hard light drive being what makes him indestructible, but the original Ace was a human.
OOOOH, had not thought of running across an alive, human Rimmer. I'd assumed that all of them would be hard light, as a soft light Ace wouldn't be much use. There's a plotbunny that hasn't been unleashed on the world, to my knowledge.
We love inconsistency; it makes it so much fun to correct/fix/fill in the blanks/explain!
