yep that's right in eve its the other way round,its the captain and only the captain that is allowed to eject. im just curios as to how many people have lost there lives in there ships while there pilots have ejected to safety.
so next time you eject from your ship think of the thousands that are screaming and cursing your name as you warp of in your pod

My pod controlled ship has a crew of one thank you very much :)
although it would be cool if ships did have crews. You might need 1,000 militants to pilot a minni ship, or 2,500 slaves to get an amarr BS going.

really? From reading I was under the impression that player controlled ships had one pod in them. And some npc ships like military vessels were supposed to be crewed like a normal ship.

Hands of a Killer is a good read.
Pod-pilots eliminate the need for a dedicated bridge-crew, but the muscle-work is still done by real people.
There are some schematic/blueprints of various ships (listing crew numbers), from years ago. I've lost the bookmark for it. _______

quotin' micia.
and this is generally what i think happens, the command deck is you, the mainenance crews and such are random meatbags that help fertilize the rubble of your wreck
also, that story is misleading. who in the world flies an apoc for 4 months? usually i smartbomb mine near the 2 month mark

Most crew use eject pods and dont die. ____ Telltale sign of their presence is non-linear teleportation (www.eve-online.com/races/theodicy/Theodicy_All.pdf)

Random Crew Member #1 "Well this has been rather quiet. Why hasn't the Captain set a course yet. He has just ordered the ship to undock but now we are just sitting here." Random Crew Member #2 "Bah, you know those pod-pilots. Probably camping the station or something" *Warning: Ship will self-destruct in 120 seconds* Random Crew Member #1 "Oh ****...not again."

As a pod pilot, there is no crew. I dunno why people find this hard to understand. This is what makes a capsuleer ship different from an ordinary ship.
There is only one human aboard a pod-pilot ship.
You might have a ****ing diagram of a thorax with 1200 crew - that's for gallente NPC police. A human-piloted thorax has one pilot and one pilot alone.
Get used to it.

T3 cruisers have crew, even pod piloted ones (as confirmed by messages from the game itself). I figure that since they're MORE advanced than T1 cruisers, they'd need less crew, so maybe T1 cruisers have even more than they do. ------

Confirming that the fiction and backstory behind the game confirms this view entirely.
Especially the ones that specifically state the opposite.

Frigate sized capsuleer ships have few or no crew (depending on the complexity of it's systems).
Cruiser sized and up have less crew than their non-capsule equivalents.

Took several. Next ?
I'm not big on backstory, but the idea that destructing a cruiser-sized ship involves 1000+ deaths invokes suspension-of-disbelief issues for me.
But yeah, consider the deep-breath taken.

The crew get thier own escape pods, they just go to wherever they like I guess, IF they managed to get to them in time before the ship blew, Most frigate crew are probably the unlukiest sobs around. =============

E-ON also has at least one chronicle that talks about the lives of crew of capsuleer ships, and their life expectancies, etc (according to which, it is somewhat easy to survive the destruction of a ship if you're quick on your feet).
I wish E-ON would publish the chronicles of its old editions. ------

The backstory explains all of this, especially why people would take the risk, and why most of them don't actually die.

I can't believe this is even still being discussed.
1. Our ships have crews. Pod pilots take care of bridge stuff, crews take care of all the leg work.
2. Remember the last tournament? I can't remember exactly which one but there were stories centering around the crew members. One in particular was on a stealth bomber. The pod pilot took care of nearly everything, there was only one other soul on board. He died in the tournament.
Honestly. We have crews but we're too damned important to care that they all die. That's the way it is. Let's move on.

I thought the OP was asking about the amount of pilots lost in each ship explosion, not wether or not your ships have crew.
Anyway, the following are some old 'blueprint' pictures from 2003, with crew numbers in them.
Bantam. Skorpion, Raven, Thorax, Megathron, Dominix, Tempest,
Most BS have 6-7k crew, I'm sure capitals will be in the 10's of thousands.

The way it was explained to me, a cruiser in EVE is the size of an aircraft carrier.
In that light a crew does make some kind of sense.

Sorry, I got sidetracked by the non-believers .
Thanks for the diagrams though, I was looking for those too.

There's nothing preventing the rest of the crew having escape pods too, it just isn't the one that matters to other podpilots and as such isn't visible like most minor debris strewn about isn't but the major wreck...
