40 995 Isk per suit. So very cheap. I lost 5 suits in a game, and not only didn't I lose 1 M isk that game, I even came out With a net profit.

Slightly annoying to lose 1 vs 1 engagements vs some of the more beefy fattys but otherwise, I couldn't really tell any noteworthy difference except for all my toys (Equipments) were kind of sucky. I've een getting used to the most fanzy equipment isk can buy and, well, comapct nanohives do work but they're not exactly great...

So I Wonder, this goes for all of you not running proto in pub games, and indeed the mass of players getting butthurt of Our general use of it. If I now keep using my 41K fit, making a profit in every game, + keep ringing in PC making even more ISK. What the hell am I supposed to use all this isk for?

For the wast majority of the playerbase, using a cheap fit like this or indeed even cheaper, what do you do With Your isk? Or is it some sort of point to gathering and keeping billions? I don't get it.

And no, I can't "use it for PC" since PC is were I earn my isk and pubgames is were I've so far burnt it away by playing in a stupid manner in a 235K isk logi suit.

What the hell am I supposed to use all my isk for?

Best Idea gets a 10 M "thank you".

Plus, I actually have an unusual metaphysical view about what a merc is that is relevant here. Most people think their merc is 'immortal'. This is a Genolution motivational slogan, not a serious philosophical position. If I made a million identical copies of YOU (the actual player reading this), that wouldn't stop you from caring about what happened to YOU, the original version. If you get shot in the face, you're dead. Some other dudes (who happen to be identical copies) would survive, but that's scant consolation if you yourself have shuffled off this mortal coil. Similarly, if clone 1 is shot in the face, the fact that clone 2, clone 3, etc are still going does not change the fact that clone 1 is now dead. How is this relevant to protostomping? Well, I don't think I'm immortal in battle. I care when I lose a clone, because that means I (the avatar occupied by me, the player) has died. That life will never come back. And I'll be damned if I'm going to increase my risk of death for the sake of mere ISK.
