Every once in a while i find a Pilot that says being a merc is easy. That it requires no skill or that any one can shoot a gun. When i see this i laugh. I mean you can do a lot but you can't do what i do. You can't dodge an enemy squad of 6 then kill them all. You can't square off against a heavy and win. I must say one thing's true you will GO 514 before your 2nd battle. I have my immortality not because i can be a fancy mail man, not because I can shoot lasers at rocks, and certainly not for being confined in a chair all day. I earn my immortality because i am a skilled killer, because i can commit acts of destruction with out thinking about it. I can run up to my enemy and brutality stab in the face after ripping his mask off. I can charge a point fearless killing my enemies not giving one thought about dying. I can personally kill someone not from space through a strike of some sorts, but face to face. I get to see my prey face of terror when the crumple. So I must ask do you think that capsuleers can do our jobs. |

Wow this topic has a lot of debate behind. I have met more pilots since I made my first statements. My mind hasn't changed. In fact it I have a even firmer believe on the subject.
A lot of misconceptions also.
1.8 must be a porn star because it is taking a long time to come.

While in one of our text chats, we came to a topic similar to this one. If I remember correctly, he said that Capsuleer tech (implants, pods, and the like) comes from those Joivan types. Since we all agree that our implants come from the Sleepers (different people right?), it makes sense that our tech don't cross well.
And while we're on the subjects of them space jockeys, I never really understood why that resent us as much as they do. Now this ain't all of 'em, but my cap' friend told me that a loot of them really don't like us. maybe they just dont like the new kids on the block? I had the displeasure of running into one of these salty cap's early on in my career. I ain't seen so much animosity in someone, even downrange. Its like just the thought of us boils their processed, synthetic blood. I bet they fear us. They must think we're a threat to their way of life. The thought almost makes me laugh.
I couldn't agree with you more. This guy looks like he is a fine merc.
( Our implants are based off of sleepers. The ones we use were created by the empires. If we had the original sleeper tech we would go 514 a lot. They are of different origin.)
I like dust more then eve. Eve feels like work.

I can tell you one thing, however. Amongst the ones I call friends, the general sentiment is fear.
Not fear of your power, of being usurped or surpassed, but fear of what a new breed of immortals is capable of.
Capsuleers already stain the skies with the blood of countless innocent people, and now immortal soldiers may soon do the same on our worlds. History has already borne witness to the atrocities that come with such power.
This trans-humanism that is romanticized amongst the elite is a steep, slippery slope. It causes you to forget what is truly important, to forget where you came from or who you really are. You end up a shadow of your original self, a monster with no care for those not like you.
It is these monsters they fear; that I fear. Capsuleer or mercenary, it does not matter. Both are threats to humanity at large, and I can assure you there are capsuleers out there who do not wish to be, who fight for the right reasons.
One day, sooner than you might like to think, the fighting will no longer be based around empires or ideologies, but around the very survival of our humanity against those who would see it destroyed.
To that end, ask yourself:
Are you still human? Mortals should not fear us......I wish they did not..... The people of the Empire having nothing to fear from me, nor those mortals of Republic who remain non combatants. I wish they would remember how many of our kind defend them and stand at the vanguard of our peoples wars so they they may not. In response I believe I am still human.....the Faith might disagree....but I would like to think that when the time comes I can prove that even being what we are we still retain our essential humanity and Faith in God.
It is nice that you have a dream of a world perfect for us mercs, but sadly it isn't true. All of man kind besides capsuleers fear us. They have the fullest right to, when they are characters like void echo around. There is also what the empires tell them of us.
We are meant to be feared. All of us are killing machines. That is all we do. Like I said before we don't transport special documents, or consistently look at the price of ores worth less then a militia scrambler pistol. We kill for a living. The empires are going to want us to be destroyed. When they understand that we have similarities to capsuleers being on a loose leash made out of a spider web. One quick pull on our end and they loose control of us. Their only option is to have us all biomassed. We are all 2nd generation clones for a reason, because the first generation went insane and became out of control. They are very capable of doing the same to us.
I don't understand why people support the empires, when they empires know we are a threat to them. We must fight against the empires and build our own clown infrastructure. The empires will remember the day Arkombine became free of the empires grasp. They will remember when the ways of the clone mercenary became to power. The will remember when Arkombine becomes the power they feared of our creation.
On the forums, I feel lost like a Malaysian aircraft.
