Elmund Egivand wrote:What, if any, are your steps for minimising crew fatalities? First and foremost, we deploy only the smallest and fastest vessel that can do the job. Since our crew compliments are almost always small but our baseline personnel pool is large, we borrowed a page from the Federation Navy SOP in the form of a shift plan for three 18-hour days. I believe this scheme was developed by/for their covert ops wings, but I'm far from an expert on military matters. In any case, the six-hour shifts keep the teams fresh and the XOs have reported improvements in focus and initiative. Regular drilling on all active and moored vessels encourages crew members to adopt emergency protocols as second-nature. Nothing extraordinary, to my knowledge.

Taranis. The Claw might be pretty fast and agile, but I can't shake the feeling that the ship is going to rip itself to pieces at the speeds it is intended to travel at.

Most boring capsuleers, you mean. Miners in highsec. They say nothing and are highly unresponsive. Like they aren't even there, in the pod.
Do you like the current system of taking sovereign, or do you prefer the previous system, or the system (or rather, absence of system) before that?

They all suck and are rather unintuitive. This one is probably the least terrible.

Actually I still don't understand why everyone in PY-RE hated the idea. It takes way more time to get into a complex from outside to execute an ambush than it does to just decloak and recalibrate the sensors. Cloaking devices on warships not specialized for it just ... isn't done, I guess? I got one semi-approving, "That's not nice!" and a whole lot of, "Just no."

I still don't get it. Don't think I was around to add to the chorus at the time. I don't hate the idea outright -- it just seems a combination of factors that make the ship very limited in application. Essentially all it can do effectively is sit around in a baited trap, then throw some fire down on a ship someone else has pinned down. It didn't fit the PYRE model of either focused fleets, or distributed actors with the option of coalescing rapidly around an escalation.

Quote:Let's get meta -- did someone ever ask you something that made you do a double- or spit take? What was it? I'm sure this must have happened at least once.
Let me think ...
There was a colonial peace officer in the Federation who asked, in what I think was bad Jin-Mei, whether I spoke Gallentean. He'd asked once already, slowly, in Gallentean; I guess he didn't notice my mouth was full.
I don't speak more than a few words of either; like most capsuleers, I use a translator for everything but Napaani, a regional dialect of Achuran, and (recently) Amarrian. Usually the translator's enough.
Anyway, I'm guessing the officer didn't speak Jin-Mei either because the second question because the translation came through as, "Do you equatorial marmot tongue?" I must have looked at him oddly because he got a frustrated look and started pulling out a data pad before I could finish chewing, swallow, and respond (through my translator) that I did not but that I had a translator.
I think that one was a little embarrassing for both of us, really-- all the more since he asked for my ID, and I was with PY-RE at that time, and PY-RE was in the State Protectorate. I'm guessing he thought I might be either a university exchange student or some supicious person trying to pass as one, but I don't think he was expecting a Caldari mercenary on leave on a Federal colony world.
I also think he thought that if he did find such a person he should obviously be allowed to do something about it.
(He wasn't. I didn't know a person could turn that color.)
The laws regulating capsuleers, and spacers in general, probably seem even more bizarre to planetside law enforcement than they do to us.
On that note:
As a capsuleer, have you ever actually arrested, or else had someone really really want to arrest you but not be allowed to, and if so for what?
(Or, if Triss answers, who's the most frustrating person you've ever not been allowed to arrest?) |

Well, there was that one time when some Theology Council agents wanted to arrest me, to question me about the location of a certain artefact. They said to me, so they did, "Doctor Valate. Hand over the artefact", to which I quite naturally replied "It belongs in a museum !", which of course it does.
So. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror, thought about all the things you've done as a capsuleer, and had a moment of clarity and thought you were a monster ? If so, what did you do about it ?

Nope. And anybody who is in the possession of such little mental rigor obviously never should have been found qualified for such a responsibility as immortality. Go find a mental health officer and begin clinical remediation, or at least ground yourself voluntarily. Doubt has no place behind the trigger for the death of thousands.
