I really donŠt like this idea of hundreds of men, women and children working and dying in a battle ship. To me its a medieval concept.
The way i see it, the crew of my ships is composed of androids. One of them acts as the interface between me and the other androids and also to the ships computer.
Basically these androids only need a bust and some kind of way to transport themselves thru the ship (rails, mag lev, etc). With the upper part of the body resembling the human shape, they can do all the chores needed in a ship.
IMO this is the way it should be. If we have faster then light traveling, sure we can build some androids to get blown up instead of people.

What makes you think there are women and children on your ships?

The entire crew of my armageddon consists completely of DivaDroid 4000 Series Mechanoids (the "Kryten" model)... come to think of it... that's probably why the fecking thing exploded last time i took it out...

I think in this day and time women work in the same places as men do. The children part was just to exaggerate the issue.

Well, if there is any proper evidence to take from the Red Dwarf series, I believe you might be right and you might also have explained why my ship suddenly stopped in the middle of an align that would have saved my ass....
Anyway, it might have been the time for them to all be recalled and put into Android heaven |

I thought only CONCORD ships and such were crewed, I always figured the 'pod pilots' controlled the whole ship by being linked to it in their pods.

Everytime your ship dies, hundreds of peopel die with it.

No, you see, I have tachikoma robots doing my ship's jobs. Thats why whenever I log on in the morning, I find that my ship won't move, because they're all playing cards and discussing the meaning of life in the basement.

THere is a short story (the one that introduced conqurable stations) and a Chronicle "The Hands of a Killer" that state we have crews. Some of the ships have crew attributes but it was deemed to silly or something and left behind and never implanted. You can see the crew numbers on one of the game dumb sites.
Pods just allow for less crews and better ship management.
Makes me feel bad when I self destructed my Brutix for the space bucks (sort of as in not really).

Ah, the tachikoma. :) I love the episode where one gets away and spends the day shopping and seeing the sights. :)

Oh well lets give it the whole song:
share and enjoy!
Share and enjoy!
Journey through life
with a plastic boy
or girl by your side.
Let your pal be your guide!
And when it breaks down
or starts to annoy
or grinds when it moves
and gives you no joy
'cos it's eaten your hat
or had sex with your cat,
bled oil on your floor
or ripped off your door
and you get to the point
you can't stand any more:
Bring it to us,
we won't give a fig!
We'll tell you,
Go stick your head in a pig!
YAY

Hah, winterblink, you watch that series?
I'm pleasantly surprised... but it seems that I meet all too many fans of the same stuff I watch in EVE. I wouldn't be surprised if half of EVE watched Stargate...
Oh, and yes, that episode is hilarious. You seen the second season yet?

By the way, to add, EVE actually used to have a Tachikoma Fitting System, back in the early alpha, instead of the magical "click and drag" you have now.

When i first read that there were crews for the bigger ships (i think about 600 people for a bs) i freaked out. With the amount of ships that are destroyed every day, it's amazing there are any humans left in EVE. So, i decided i wanted a different approach to this matter. That's why i did this post to express my opinion.
Most of you guys preferred to post funny remarks (some of them pretty funny btw), and its fine with me. But still would like to read some constructive comments cause i know there are people that think about this kind of issues.
Thanks for the inputs.

Well, there are a lot of planets. Say 5 billion on each, a few thousand inhabited planets... I don't know. There are a LOT of battleships dying every day...

As for the supposed population problem of battleships exploding by the truckload each day, you don't think podpilots are the only ones with access to cloning tech do you?
But seeing as how cloning isn't even close to being a way to get around death, you can still say that lives are being thrown away at quite an impressive rate. (sure, your clone takes up right where the original left off, but the original is still dead)

Are you serious or joking? I cant tell.
Anyways, your the only one on your ship. Capsule technology, remember?

DidnŠt think about NPC ships... just adds more people to the blood bath.
As for cloning, i would think that it's too expansive for crew members. But it's a way to make things seem a lot lighter, thanks 
Those dam chronicles should haver never mentioned this issue

oh well the chronicles did - once simple and complex planetary interactions come into eve (read drawing board) planeteary poppulations and crews could become important

Yeah I remember when ships had Crew attributes, but I thought they dropped them to go with the whole pod pilot thing. It makes more sense to me that way anyway, have little robots or whatever to repair damage and do maintenance and use the other 90% of the brain the pilot doesn't use to control the ship. Why would the pilot be sitting in a pod all by his lonesome if he has a crew around him?
