You could probably do some crazy mining as an immortal. You'd be a lot less worried about cave ins and methane pockets, that's for sure.
I would mine because **** the police and **** your opinions |

If the technology is so great, and machines are doing everything, why even have cloned soldiers?
Apparently it's all machines. Mining would still be plenty dangerous because planets can be unpredictable, especially ones that aren't Temperate. You try mining on a Lava planet and tell me how safe that is. |

Mining would still be plenty dangerous because planets can be unpredictable, especially ones that aren't Temperate. You try mining on a Lava planet and tell me how safe that is. By that logic you would be using capsuleers already to mine on planets and operate the mining machines/ships , as that would still make far more sense then using clone soldiers.
Well capsuleers wouldn't be as profitable, since the clones are more complex and require ISK investments, whereas we're just clone goo waiting to happen. Also, we transfer consciousness faster than capsuleers. Also, plenty of capsuleers enjoy mining, they just prefer to sit in their ship while all the little human worker bees go about making sure the ship is operational and handling the cargo as it comes in. |

It's all about the ISK. If you lose just one of those mining rigs, you're going to be in the hole for a while. Better to pay some poor shmuck immortals who are down on their luck and in need of some ISK. Send them in and let them have it.
I don't know about you, but if I'm immortal, I'm going to do whatever the **** I want. I'll still watch out for CONCORD though, cuz they're a bunch of bullies.

I've never heard that one before. |
