That was a whole lot of words to tell everyone that you're an RPing nutjob.

Yup... I have a master's degree and I'm brilliant... so, surprise, surprise, I enjoy being creative in a roleplaying game.
Alert the internets: nerd who plays MMORPG just implied and insulted the nerdiness of another player! This is both fresh and new. More at 11.

Internet nerd flexes his masters degree and gets mad about being called out for being a special class of internet nerd. A masters in English with a minor in liberal arts doesn't really count you know.

So you're a real spaceship captain, not just ROLEPLAYING one in an internet space ship game?
Sorry, but the moment you log into this game and start playing, you're pretending you're something you're not. Welcome to the nutjob world of roleplaying.
You nutjob, you.

I've heard the rumors about the stories, and I'll have to check the link, but its as simple as this; there is no any indication whatsoever of anything other than one person per ship. I would not spend months training skills if some "crew member" was capable of it. Sooooooo ****ing dumb that I would have to train how to use guns if I had a gunner etc etc.
Dude there is a crew. They obviously don't handle higher functions (anything the pod pilot can do). But who takes your ammo out of boxes in the cargohold and puts them into a gun loader? Who manages the engines. A ship can only be automated so much. If something breaks someone has to fix it. There is a crew.
Its not rumors of stories. There are many eve chronicles, which mention crews with capsuleers, that are written by authors who are held to the strictest standards in terms of accuracy to game lore. There are crews, not even up for discussion.

So let me get this straight... two posts above, you insult me for pulling out the fact that I have an MA, and then in the same thread you whip out a (completely fictitious, but that's beside the point) PhD... and we're just supposed tug on our respective beards, "Mmm" and "Ahh" and let the whole thing slide?
You play a roleplaying game. It doesn't matter if you personally choose to roleplay in the game or not - to the rest of the world (IE, the people who don't play roleplaying games), there is no difference between you and I. We are both, as far as the mainstream is concerned, video-game-playing nerds.
In fact, we're worse than that, because while a hefty chunk of the population can identify with the odd soul who picks up a Nintendo controller to play a little Mario (the 'hey, I'm a successful [insert normal career here] but I've done that before!' effect), or at least can recognize such a game setting, we lie far beyond the fringes of that meager bond. Even a game like World of Warcraft, with its simple rules and basic, 'beat x monster over the head many times until it dies' mechanics is within the boundaries of normality.
EVE, on the other hand, is not.
You play the nerdiest of nerdy games. You are as far away from the mainstream as you could possibly get (which begins, I might add, with adults who stopped playing video games at the age of 18). And yet, you have the audacity to insult someone else for 'taking things too far.' Well, I've got news for you professor, if there is such a thing as 'too far,' you're living it.
I'd think someone with a PhD would have understood that inherent, built-in irony; the hypocrisy of the entire notion of attacking anyone in this environment for those reasons. You not only don't have a leg to stand on; you're missing the stump, too. There is a gaping maw in your thigh; an anti-leg, if you will.
But, then again, I've met some pretty stupid professors in my day.

Its true, that masters of yours IS is English isn't it? Thats the only way someone could type out that many words on such a stupid topic and even pretend to take himself seriously. Whats even worse is that something deep down inside tells me you actually believe what it is you're saying.

Sure, there are crewed ships out there defending space everywhere. They fight, and likely die, defending it. Then their leaders hire us capsuleers, and the crews stop dying. I fight for the almighty ISK, but ultimately it's the people on the planets/stations that I fly by that benefit most from me being out here in my ship.
I don't know about yours, but my ships have shiny lights simulating windows - all the better to fool NPC rat crews who look out the window at my ship with relief that it's not a capsuleer ship, just before my weapons remove them from existence. My ships have internal spaces for all the drones/robots to get around and repair battle damage. Also need lots of nano-assembler vats around for my armor reppers. My ship's weapons have automated loaders - much more consistent and reliable than human crews doing the loading.
And I'm not alone - my ship's sensors show the other ships of my gang out there.
:P
