You're obviously referring to the Dusters, well, bad news for you, capsule interface implants are not compatible with dust implants, end of story. This has been stated multiple times in by CCP devs. |

If some aliens transmitted the schematics for a space elevator and an FTL engine to us tomorrow, the very act of deciphering those schematics and building them would advance our scientific knowledge to match.
Actually, you can, if you're given sufficiently detailed instructions on how to build it, prep it, fuel it up and what procedures to do to make it go critical.
Let's take one simple example: paper planes. Everyone can make one, yet most of them have no understanding of the fundamental sciences involved. Same here. Only on larger and much more complicated scale. |

I blame Jovians! |

Therefore, presumably, there is very likely to still be cloning tech available outside of a capsule, even for a capsuleer.
Capsules are special because they're the combination of cloning and neural interfacing that allows a ship to be piloted more effectively.
It seems to be a common misconception that cloning is only as old as the capsule is, and that's what makes them special, but it's made repeatedly clear all throughout the lore that cloning has been around for a long, long time.
One distinction that might be drawn in types of cloning is how well memories are kept. In the capsule rebirth, you remember everything up to the moment of death. A non-capsule rebirth might only restore the memories that were "backed up" during the last brain scan, or whatever. Or there may be ways to "transfer" memories even while out of pod, as is suggested in at least one chronicle. That's what I was about to say, you can be cloned without a capsule, there is just a "memory loss" from the last scan. And guess what ? Every capsuleer that died at least once, has at least done one brain scan :p Of course, usualy with non-capsule cloning if I remember well, these scans are non-destructive and slow.
Actually, according to the Eve Origins trailer every single capsuller has died at least once. |

Last time they considered adding this concept, they made the following clarification: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1519536&page=1#8So both methods are possible in-universe, with implanting into the original body being the original method and euthanization+cloning being the new method.
Yes, I stand corrected. As a matter of fact i now remember there was a discussion regarding the same topic few months ago regarding this very trailer. And a link to the same old forum thread was given, and even more explanations were written, so yes, my apologies, every new capsuleer since Incarna has died at least once, so it still possible for some die-hard old vet to still retain his/her original body.
My apologies. |
