I don't know about the implants interfering with one another, but to become a capsuleer you need a specific set of genetic markers. Without them, interfacing with the hydrostatic capsule causes whats known as the 'wetgrave' where a persons mind becomes, in a sense, trapped within the connection resulting in permanent coma inside the capsule.
The genetic sequence is itself incredibly rare, which is why there are not many capsuleer in relation to the total population of New Eden (Which numbers in the many trillions)
Yes, the implants used by the mercenaries are based on much more advanced technology (since the Sleepers were more technologically advanced than the Jovians they split from) and can be used in nearly anyone.
If you kill a capsuleer outside his pod, he dies, period. The only reason he is immortal inside the pod is because of a piece of tech called a Transneural Burning Scanner which scans the brain upon pod breach and transmits the data almost instantaneously. the scanner could theoretically be used on anyone, pod or no pod.
That being said, 'soft' cloning is commonly used by the very wealthy anyways. Soft cloning is like creating a save point for life. From time to time you update an existing clone with your current brain state, and if you happen to die, that clone can be activated and you essentially pick up from the point you last updated. This is easily accessible to capsuleers, and prevents erasure from existence by a random act of violence.
Don't forget that, until a dust merc can own and maintain his own clones, he is property and his immortality is completely dependent on the people who hold his clones. While we are formidable soldiers, capsuleers are still far more powerful entities and likely always will be. |

If you think about it, a capsuleer COULD technically have a clone fitted with the instant-transfer implant.
Most Capsuleers use a technique called Jump-Cloning to make themselves almost omni-present in New Eden. A jump clone is basically a clone of you (sometimes called an Infomorph) that you keep somewhere far away, perhaps in a different region of space or even a different empire. Rather than fly there manually, wasting your precious time, you can clone-jump there instantly.
What that entails is a 'soft' scan of the capsuleers brain, which is then transmitted to the facility with the Jump Clone. There, the brains are compared, and changes are updated into the infomorph (updated from whenever the last time it was used). The real you then goes to sleep in stasis, while your infomorph awakens to do whatever it is you wanted to do.
Since such cloning doesn't rely directly on a capsuleers implants in any way, and could be done by anyone really (anyone very wealthy), it is possible a capsuleer could have a clone grown for themselves, with the implant, and then jump-clone to it.

Would that work, essentially 2 different people (the merc clone is simply a clone, no conscience transfer, it has it's own conscience) This I like. I am my own clones clone. Gives new meaning to me, myself and I. I have gone to look for myself, if I should return before I get back please ask myself to wait.
Haha. No kidding.
The only thing is, I believe it is law that only 1 clone of a person may be active at a time. Apart from the legal problems that could arise, having multiple '"you's" running around can apparently be psychologically devestating.
The only person on record as having successfully had multiple copies of himself roaming around working toward a common goal was The Broker, and he could do it because he was ACTUALLY insane.
