They've given us 120 clones to work with. Even better! But, there's a problem... How do those clones know who they're going to be assigned to? In Eve Online, a clone is unique to the Capsuleer. It matches their genetic code and appearance. If the same were to apply to Dust mercs then we'd have to uhh... Well, we'd have to have them ready to go right from the start. We couldn't just jack into however many clones we needed without them being blank slates that just happen to know our skill sets, adapt to our appearances and genetic structure. So, if you're not a dev and you have a theory or additional question.. Discuss! If you're a dev or ISD, give us a hint or something 
Ahh, dust cloning technology. It's actually radically different than Capsuleer cloning tech.
For the most part, dusters have no genetic identity, and are all identical. It was actually a huge breakthrough when we managed to have female mercenaries. Still not sure how they managed that.
Regardless, a normal person has their brain scanned, which takes several hours, sometimes days or weeks. That person is then killed.
The memories are then uploaded into a blank dustbunny clone. Once the clone wakes up, an implant in the mercenary records all sensory input.
Suppose the mercenary then dies.
A new clone is loaded with the same brainscan, and then the recorded memories are played back in fast forward, while temporarily speeding up brain functions. This means the new clone experiences what the old one did over the course of a few seconds.
The new clone then wakes up, with all the memories of the old one.
However, early clones weren't perfect, and sometimes the recording went slightly wrong. Could you imagine what would happen? Imagine living through your life, seeing through your eyes.... except one day your actions stop lining up with what you try to do. It's very similar to what you would have done, but not identical. That's probably why so many 1st gen templars went crazy. |
