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.

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.

Mortal surely for that is what they are......but by no means they lesser beings?
No if anything they possess what we lack....and it its own right that very thing is precious to me which is why I strive to protect it.
I misunderstand your logic.....but logic is subjective and fallible..... and sometimes our kind form odd notions about what they are.

It might seem like strange reasoning now, but I'm sure one day you'll understand what I mean.
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.

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.

Well when you think about it, they can. We're paid to go kill other mercs. They too can get paid to kill mercs. They might not be as surgically precise, but you can't deny that they can be damn effective.

I'm pretty sure the main reason that we are the ones sent in rather than the regular soldiers is the whole "you're an immortal infomorph" thing.
Graveyards are expensive.

The discussion isn't about us vs regular soldiers, its about us vs capsuleers. Us vs regular soldiers isn't even a debate. I think the primary argument in favor of mercs over capsuleers is that we can take an installation with minimal collateral damage when compared to it being glassed from orbit.
