What a **** show. The eggers are going the throw themselves at these ghost stations, and that is only going to cause more problems as far as the Empires are concerned. I have no idea what they do, but I can assure you that in telling capsuleers that they can't have them they just made those facilities the single most desired real estate in the cosmos. There's nothing eggers want more than what they can't have.
In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then I also love him.

There's nothing eggers want more than what they can't have. Isn't that just about the way of most people.... I suppose though people like you or I could be more practical, get what we can lay our hands on.... get that next fix.
Yes, but it isn't just a fix for capsuleers. It's almost a religious experience. Things like accountability and reason are cast aside in the pursuit of profits. The problem with capsuleers is that most men can only dream of chasing their fortune with reckless abandon.
Eggers on the other hand, can, have, and will rip through empires and destroy people's livelihoods to get what they want. Admittedly, they are just as good as they think they are.

It just needs to be weaponized. And... No more immortals. Since our DNA isn't our own to begin with (we're normally imprinted on stock clones, remember), I have no idea how that would even work. They might have a killswitch set up to deactivate our implants, but that seems a little too easy to trigger accidentally or through third-party interference. Me, I'd write a computer virus to corrupt our consciousness transfer protocols and infect our systems with it. Scrambled is pretty indistinguishable from dead when it's an infomorph you're talking about.
That hypothesis is... unsettling. Far too close to home. Far too probable. Faulty implants scrambled my mind something horrid once already and I still feel the effects to this day. At any given moment random memory access could put me into a mental meltdown unless I take medication strong enough to keep me too sedated to chase the madness further away from reality.
You don't just get scrambled. Your brain has try to make sense of all sorts of static floating around inside of you, and it will go to great lengths to do it. It's not a pleasant process.
My condition was only a technical mistake. A virus designed with the intent of disrupting our data transfer could do untold damage both to our own psyche (aside from potentially corrupting the data entirely to the point that a transfer is impossible) but also to the world that inherits whatever is left of us after the virus takes its toll.
