Wow immortal terrorists, never thought of that before. The implications are staggering, the only limiting factor to cloned mercenaries now are their own morals and ISK.

I can see why they hinted that the next expansion may be about the fall of the Empires. Now that the clone soldiers are starting to get loose, think about the real horror that is a clone soldier. An immortal, elite soldier who can be cloned to look like anyone, who has no definite features or tells.

No one will be safe, there is no such thing as a suicide mission now. Why would one of us even blink at strapping ourselves down with explosive compound and running into a executive or political building and killing everyone inside only to wake up moments later on a distant planet with no one the wiser at who we are?

The scariness isn't that we can continually fight forever in wars of domination. Its that now there can be extremely skilled and elite operatives who don't care if they live or die.

Heth? Roden? Jamyl? They can't be safe. Any one of us could be formed into someone and look like we should be at the location, we know procedure enough not to stand out. It doesn't matter if we are caught because we can just detonate ourselves.

With the release of Uprising, are you guys ready to bring down everything?


Now taking bids, Starting at 1 Million isk for me to wire myself down with detmix and try to detonate one of the Empire leaders or in a large public place.

10 mill to hit a Minmater aid centre.

Not everyone is immortal in Eden. I believe our mercs signed some sort of contract to become immortal and work for whoever. Also I would NEVER blow myself up and kill citizens because of war... even if I'm immortal.

15 mil to release an airborne pathogen.

Is it possible to destroy their DNA or memory? Would that not put an end to a merc?

I'm pretty sure Mordu (or whoever) can pull the plug on our ability to jump to the next clone.

That and we're bound by the whimes of Gene-whatever they're called who move clones for us. All they have to say is "No." and we're boned.

But we do have big, shiny, alien technology in our skulls. Prolly detectable from a mile away.

Mordu's legion doesn't own all of us(I think) and we won't be bound to genolution forever. Face it, it's only a matter of time until our tech ends up in the hands of capsuleers, and then Pandora's box will be well and truly open.

They could just EMP entire planets and ships, so that they would no longer have the electricity to create clones.

They're implants. Most capsuleers have implants in their head, too. Probably not as detectable as you might think.

Did anyone else click into this thread expecting another "bad game" thread?

We're more perfect for black ops than any other soldier out there. How would one catch such terrorist.

Don't forget, also, that there will be mercs hired as counter-terrorists. And hence, may the highest bidder win.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

As with all weapons, the clone will fall into the hands of terrorists. To meet the new threat, government enforced protocols will be brought in to test the background of each and every clone as he awakens to ensure they truly are who they claim.

A specially assigned task force of clones and men alike will rise up to find and destroy rogue facuilities, thus ending the cycle for criminal clones.

It'll become another sort of black market, another cat and mouse game between pirate and English navy.

And, as always, God help those caught in the middle.

DHS is watching all of you closely for sure You will have to swim in kayaks for next year fanfest As your names get to the "no fly" list... For this reason i will not like any post here...

Good luck with that. If there is one thing that history teaches us again and again. It is that Empires and Nations cannot stand up against small bands of loose elements who engage in guerilla warfare. The idea of a task force trying to hunt down an immortal terrorist is silly at best. Kill him today on one planet, he is on another one planting a bomb. Kill him there and he will just appear in a concert hall on another planet. How long until Anarchy rules? There is only so much a population can take before they start blaming the government instead of the terrorist.

Guys it would actully be very easy to stop a merc...

All you have to do is keep him/her alive.

and to stop any suicide attempts you would use a null collar (see eve lore).

simple.

This could obviously be countered by a self destruct device embedded in the merc. although he would need a squad mate to activate it.
