sorry, first post here, and id rather spair the formalities..
anyone else have trouble sleeping in their pod?
I have tried manual temperature over-rides, but i just think im not cut out for psychologically it. Which is strange, because i can mange clone jumps ok.
Thing is, i hate sleeping in the stations in outlaw space, even docked in a ship, theres allwayse the chance that somone could cause trouble. At least in the pod, im safe.
thoughts? suggestions?

Hire better security and sleep outside the pod. If you are intent on sleeping in there get some meds to help knock you out.

During my third semester at Run, I had a feature installed to my core implant. I cant tell you the specific technology works and I havn't needed it yet.. I have quarters in my Thrasher.. but it basicly knocks you out cold for a period of time after your own design, and then wakes you out. My professor recomended it, said that it was great for stressed CEO's and capsuleers in general. Its just a small Software upgrade.

Sleep comes at odd hours now, but I wouldn't say it's a problem.
Activating shield boosters can result in my being disorientated over the next few hours though. No idea why. Things I've thought while under the influence of shield boosters include trying to load my guns with the nearest moon and trying to invite my corpmate's drones to fleet.

Keep a frigate docked up and secured, with a cabin and bunk prepared just for you.
Believe me, in full security lockdown mode, nobody is going to be disturbing your rest without using starship-grade weaponry. And there's not a single station in the cosmos that's insane enough to permit docking without consenting to a security override on ship's guns.

unconshious dosent necessarly equal sleep, but this does gve me an idea, please dont laugh, actually feel free to laugh, but it may work: 'booze', if i can have the pod introduce enough alchahol into my system to get me a bit 'wonkey' i should pass into an organic sleep.
worth a shot, though im too old to survive without a hangover, but im sure i can use yet more drugs to clear that up.

not really an option, in my limited experience, people can be baught, even people bound by faith. Its sad, but its comming up to a year after i was 're-born', i have meny millions of times more welth then my famly had at the hight of their powers, but i cant trust anyone.
i suppose the price for 'immortality' is the constent fear of the invasive scanner not quite working right the next time the pod breaks.

I had some work done on a badger, ended up with a huge living space. Added some "automated security" and nothing gets in.

Yes you can. Seriously pilot, a little paranoia is healthy, but there comes a point where you have to say "okay, I'm reasonably certain that this person's not going to betray me."
Your fears are unreasonable.

sleep inside your pod? how can anyone stand that?
*Coyote shudders*
Maybe you should make sure your really tired first, like wait a couple of days on the station so that you have to sleep and get over it that way. or get some counselling urgh sleeping in pod goo thats gross

*holds up a large ugly looking automatic pistol in from the camera drones visual cortex and smiles grimly*
This is a Republic 330c automatic pistol, 12mm caseless rounds, 15 to a clip. What I suggest is you take it, enter a back room insert the business into your mouth and pull the trigger. Seriously your not safe no where, every day pilots do not survive the cloning process, something happens and no one knows what you just don't wake up.
And if you clone enough eventually your dna will be so degraded from being copies of copies that you will end up a shapless sack of mewling flesh.
Quit being so paranoid invest in a decent firearm, a couple of padlocks and if your rich enough a security team, hell if you go around avoiding trouble eventually it will find you, pounce and eat your heart. Meet it head on and you stand a chance no matter how small of surviving.
And if you don't well one less Amarr would cause few tears I think... Especially in certain circles.
to die for one's people is a glorious act. |

Truth. I'd be scared of breaking my wrist if I were to fire one of those. Give me something a little smaller and less... less holo-reel, thanks.

I'd sooner chew my own arm off than sleep in a pod. I guess some pilots get used to it, but to me it's too much like a weird kind of sensory deprivation chamber--or what I imagine a grave to be like--with all systems shut down and no input from the outside world.
Here's my recommendation Pilot; a glass of Thukker whiskey before retiring, a small blaster under your pillow and a couple of your most trusted crew members outside the doorway just in case. I picked two of the burliest guys from among my dock workers and had them trained by an exclusive executive protection firm. If you're on good terms with your relatives, especially any with military or security experience, put them on the payroll as personal bodyguards.
I can pretty much guarantee that if you follow this advice you'll sleep like a baby in his mother's arms. As a side benefit you'll wake up refreshed without goo in your eyes or a drug hangover.

If that were true, I am afraid the cloning industry would not be nearly as profitable as it is.
I can't say that I have ever had to spend a night in my pod though. I prefer my personal quarters. If you have your ship properly locked down, and with the proper security measures in place, you should have little to worry about...short of someone destroying the station, or something.
If it makes you feel safer, keep a weapon on hand. I try to keep a firearm or a blade on me whenever possible. Either way, you should try to reign in your paranoia. Sleep is essential to an alert mind, and an alert mind is essential to a long lifespan.

It's the reason I carry small Derringer mini-railgun pistols. I mean, sure, they're only good for one shot until a reload, but they're recoilless and extremely accurate. Also, if I have to fire a gun, something has gone horribly wrong, and my bodyguards have been overwhelmed. That's never happened to me.

Vel chuckles a little as she watches the messages play before recording a response.

It definitely seems a good idea, but the lag between firing and impact is definitely more pronounced than even a good old chemically-fired slug would be.
Granted, at a distance, the fact that it propels itself would be good, but it would be nigh-on-useless at short range if you should ever have to use it- it either wouldn't be able to build enough velocity to hurt anyone, also, it likely wouldn't arm due to safety reasons. If you should, however, decide to override the minimum-distance requirement for it to arm, well, you deserve what you've got coming to you. Sure, it makes a mess, but it's amazing just how much damage a 2mm flechette is going to do, when it's going near relativistic speed. To each their own, however.

Vel nods at the recorded response, and flicks the recorder back on, smiling a little.
"Well, I have to admit, in close quarters, I usually just use a good knife. But the minimum arming distance is only 4 meters, so it's still useful."

Had this problem, solved it thusly.
Get yourself a used mammoth on the cheap.
Tear out all the interior comparment walls inside the hold.
Cover all metallic surfaces with thick shag carpeting.
Replace all harsh lights with soft yellow glow strips.
Place a large, rotating bad in the center, cover with fur bedding and satin sheets.
Then play some old Earth Funk quietly over the comm system.
Problem solved.
