You realize of course what happened to the Jove as a result of their genetic manipulations right ? I think I'll stick with relatively sane enhancements . Or at least as sane as you can get with super solider cloning .

Would be a funny prank to pull on someone.

"Okay guys, why am I a giant octopus?"

this right here is why i want it to happen.

the backstories would be hilarious

why would it have to be limited to organic bodies though?

i want to be a terminator!!

I prefer to have only one e-peen. Thank you very much.

e-peen?


and shut up T1001, no one likes you!

Human Phsyce has to require a human body still.

While I think it would be cool to have wolf ears and that, the lore reasons where already stated before and the gallente found out the hard way you can't do what you mentioned.

I would think it has to do with "you" being human...there would be a lot of psychological trauma that cannot be undone (since it is your "mind" that is being preserved) if you suddenly found yourself in another body that isn't your own (even if you wanted it). Just trying to gain control over the new body would scar your mind, and then there are the body's own instincts and desires that you just cannot understand...

It would be a similar thing, maybe to a slightly lesser extent, if your "mind" were to be thrown into another human's body/clone...

I wonder if your "mind" is even compatible with any body but your own...

link so i can read plz?

It was a dev post years ago... I would be a needle in a haystack find.

if it's been years, maybe they've fixed the problem?

I never got that, seems dumb considering its a genetic disease. If they have genetic expertise, they should be able to fix it. If their genes are damaged beyond repair, why don't they just find samples of their original genes, or at least before they changed so much that they got sick, and start again from there? They could also take a sample from the the 4 main empires also.
Also, we're immortal, our bodies are DISPOSABLE. If they're messed up by some terrible genetic glitch, we won't buy the clones, or we'll just suicide and return to normal human body.

EDIT: I also read the disease keeps them from being able to reproduce and grow their numbers. Easily fixed by cloning.

Well, I know that the novel The Burning Life went into it a bit. One of the characters falls in with a Gallente subculture that is all about body modification and they are all pretty nuts.

Doubt it lol...I think there would be a huge outcry from the other three if the Gallente were found to be merging humans with other animals...especially the Amarr...

I thought I was a robot.... Am I human wearing a suit?

I would think it has to do with "you" being human...there would be a lot of psychological trauma that cannot be undone (since it is your "mind" that is being preserved) if you suddenly found yourself in another body that isn't your own (even if you wanted it). Just trying to gain control over the new body would scar your mind, and then there are the body's own instincts and desires that you just cannot understand...even if you found your way back to your own body, you'd be damaged beyond repair, all but useless.

It would be a similar thing, maybe to a slightly lesser extent, if your "mind" were to be thrown into another human's body/clone...there are things about it, even though it is human, that you just won't be able to understand or control properly.

I wonder if your "mind" is even compatible with any body but your own...most likely not.

According to the novel "Templar One", which goes into some detail on the development of the cloning system, the somewhat modified human brain shape found on a stored Sleeper in one of their stations was a required part of the cloning system.

In EVE Online, normal bodies can be interfaced and their consciousnesses downloaded into cloned bodies thanks to the "pod", the containment system that holds capsuleer pilots in their ships. This system is capable of downloading the state of every neuron in the brain and transmitting it through a network to a medical cloning bay, which holds custom copies of the pilot's body.

To shrink this huge and advanced system into something that can fit in a skull is no easy task, and required some... interesting modifications. This technology was developed, but isn't easily modified, and can't currently be adapted to brains of non-human origin by any of the Empires. So sorry, no giant octopus bodies for dustbunnies. At least not yet.

Our combat clones are already engineered. As for six arms, who's to say you'd have any idea how to use them? Your mind is still a Human pattern after all, and it stands to reason that your hosts mind should be too. Even if you had 6 arms, the chance is the other 4 would just hang limply at your sides.
