From a technical standpoint, sure this is possible. However, Lore wise it wouldn't be really efficient. Capsuleers don't die nearly as much as us so they can do it. Plus they have the money to purchase expensive clones that are cosmetically accurate. For us it wouldn't make sense to worry about looks as its an almost absolute certainty that you're going to lose the clone at some point, so it's moot to worry about aesthetics (unless you're Amarr, then it matters. Gotta look good For the empress, right?)

It is cheaper and more efficient to just use generic clones that focus more on performance than appearance.

If you've never read the fiction on the main site,or Templar One,
this is what they look like under the helmets.

Battle Clones are generic and cheap.

But when you are back on your home station you don't have to worry about losing your clone every couple of minutes, so it is worth shelling out the ISK for a custom clone when you are off duty. Just hook it up to life support before you accept a mission, and then you can reuse it when you get back.

Nirwanda Vaughns 974	Posted - 2014.11.24 19:24:00 - [19] - Quote According to the Templar One book the Merc clones are far different from the capusleer clones. in the book it describes that medic drones pretty much strip Vince (templar one) body and replace almost all of it with cybernetics, a bit like Robocop (the new one not the old one) whereas capsuleers are mor elike the implants from the Matrix. this is basically down to replacing the blood with nano fluid in order for nanite injectors to repair the body/system. am sure the mercs face will be left as human looking as possible whereas their body is almost all mechanical Never argue with an idiot. they bring you down to their level and beat you through experience proud C-II bpo owner

You stay in your quarters and clones are grown that then have your consiousness transferred to them. A capsuleer could even have their original body on ice while even the original character body is a clone. There really is no reason why you would have to travel from planet to planet. The clone pack is on the barge. Your updated conciousness is transferred upon accepting a contract. You stay in the comfort of your quarters while the clone bodies fight. I'm better than laser focused; I'm hybrid focused.

The movie hints that the biochemical warfare was created to wipe out our population on earth. Basically our creators were trying to destroy us and maybe inhabit earth but something went wrong before they could leave their planet. Not sure it was surely a clusterfuck, but I thought it was great. They should have kept it as an alien prequel. If you're not wearing proto, you're doing it wrong.
