Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 12684	Posted - 2014.01.28 05:52:00 - [1] - Quote Because to be honest Mercenary is something age old and pre-existing before us. Eve Players get called Captains (though by nature of ship command) Capsuleer (by trade and lore is the name) Empyrean (by the Amarr) Among those most common titles they do have a large number of derivatives and cultural references but for the game's context these are the only three used. Enter Dust 514. While we are soldiers of fortune, we're absolutely no different from an eve pilot on that aspect, they too get paid for their immortal services as do we. I purpose we be named things more tangible usable and something not as confusing. Operators - This covers a wide variety of play styles, and who is to say that dropsuits are not the only thing we suit up in? What if our MTACs are like living coffins similar to the warhammer dreadnought and starcraft dragoons. Operators are a type of highly specialized soldier but the name has yet to be widely used in eve lore on a significant level. An operator can perform such a large variety of roles on and off the field that it would not be in lore violation of being a mercenary. Elysians and for the matching lore name calling from the Amarrians (from Geek Elysion pedion "Elysian field," where heroes and the virtuous live after death, from a pre-Gk. word of unknown origin) We been delivered from the clutches of death, and by Amarrian thinking delivered from the jaws of damnation and into a path of salvation. So your thoughts? CPM 0 Secretary Omni-Soldier, Forum Warrior, Annoying Artist \\= Advanced Caldari Assault // Unlocked

Planeteers - A clever word play of the original term "capsuleer" and the once-famous TV show "Captain Planet". I believe the second name is actually trademarked/copywritten.

Aren't our physical bodies also technically asleep while our minds are awake and active on the field of battle? Sleepers are a race of people in New Eden similar to the Jovians so can't use that.

Surely you do not believe that mortal militaries do not already have countermeasures against our kind? Means of operating heavier calibre weapons, vehicles and control units that would lock down our clone stores and weapons supplies? It seems to me that you think all clone soldier will support your coup d'+¬tat...... I would stand against you and all like you to preserve the fragile balances of power our four nations hold, and the might and grandeur of my faith. Scum like you think they can own the galaxy.....but it is not yours to take. God gifted to the peoples of the Amarr to rule under the heavens for all time. In an event that mortal soldiers are faced off against immortal soldiers the tactics are as follows. Destroy all warp uplinks Destroy all CRU devices Kill as few of the immortals as possible; with every death they come back angrier and all the much wiser Get seen by few of the immortals as possible; their communications and tac net are superior So far engagements have been catastrophic losses for mortal forces so far with minimal numbers of success and its been opting for corporations and organizations to just hire a set of immortals to deal with it.
