You could likely speculate on Capsuleer opinion for ages.

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.

To be a capsuleer you need a specific genetic markers, which themselves are very rare. Not everyone can be a capsuleer. Even if you had the cybernetics installed, without the correct genes you would 'wetgrave' when you connected to the capsule, your mind becoming locked in with the system, resulting in permanant coma. Anyone can have the merc implant installed. A capsuleer could technically create a jump clone of himself, forsaking the large cerebro-spinal implant for the merc one, but from that point 'jumping' back to the capsuleer body would be a problen, since it is impossible to say if the data stored in the implant could be accessed, and even if it could, how it could be mapped to an organic brain. )) Playing since 1st batch of closed beta keys.

Your heart seems to be in the right place Kador, but look at what you wrote. 'Mortals should not fear us' Mortals. Lesser beings. That is how it begins. The separation subtly slips in to your mind, and you barely notice it taking hold. Whether that was your intended choice of words or not, the truth behind them remains. It is when we begin defining ourselves as immortals, and everyone else as mortals, that humanity is lost for both. We become Gods, and they become worthless. Regardless of differences in faith, you and I can undoubtedly agree: we are not Gods, and we should never think of ourselves or act as such. Playing since 1st batch of closed beta keys.

As for you Knight, the empires are more than just governments. They are made up of tens of trillions of innocents. The more you act like a threat to those people, the more the empire governments will view you as such. In the end, your existence is insignificant compared to the countless lives the empires struggle to protect. Playing since 1st batch of closed beta keys.

Your statement contradicts itself. If they need us, why would they wipe us out? The truth is while we are viewed as an evolution of mankind, we are not necessary, and evil is a matter of personal choice. Playing since 1st batch of closed beta keys.
