Agreed. I read that as Saede saying that she doesn't, herself, want to RP those aspects of a capsuleer's life because it'd be too easy to give it the angsty and butthurt treatment, not that it's inherently angsty and butthurt.
As I've said earlier: I'd see crew cloning as perfectly possible if you didn't mind it probably costing as much as or more than the ship in some cases, and being only marginally less inhumane due to the rapid accumulation of mental health problems in the crew if you didn't spend even more money on higher-quality clones and counselling. Verin doesn't have a crew cloning program on his ships except for a select few senior and irreplaceable individuals. And he tries to be one of the good guys.
I'd personally advise people to steer away from claiming their crews are completely clone-enabled because I think it cheapens the very thing that makes Empyreans special, but so long as they're not actually going outside the realms of what's canon, or at least physically possible, then we all get along much better if we accept that not everyone's going to have the same interpretation.
After all, the option's always there to RP that your character thinks another character is a compulsive liar, or maybe deluded if you have an OOC disagreement with them on some point of what they're doing.

The cost of cloning would certainly make it a bit of a problem for the idea of using clone crews. Of course the chronicles don't give a very good impression of shipboard life in EVE anyway... Year long contracts, small living quarters, lack of human interaction besides with people in your section.
It's not exactly the best career out there. I'd think one of the few benefits of working on a capsuleer ship would be that it wouldn't be as crowded with better living conditions basically... but the risk of death would be much higher. I think I don't have more than one or two ships that's lasted long enough that a crewman managed to walk off the ship after their year long contract ended.
For RPing purposes, I wouldn't think the Sansha's Players wouldn't have the biggest problem with the loss of life for example. As I wonder how much life there are in slaves hooked up to an artificial computer network... Who knows, they may survive as a form of infomorph within Sansha's artificial reality. |
