If so, how?
or can someone just walk up to me in a station or planetside and shoot me in the face and kill me permanently? |

So what makes Capsuleers so intimidating to the general populace, in person?
outside of our ships we are no different from anyone else with Combat Training (right?). You shoot us, we die.
I suppose if we are ever allowed to walk around in the stations, some new lore will have to be written... |

Safe to assume that say, i ground combat, a Capsuleer would typically outclass a regular soldier, due simply to the (I'm assuming much harsher, both mentally and physically) training required to become a Capsuleer? |

Stitcher wrote:pilots have access to expensive cybernetics, expensive weapons, expensive armour and gear, and if it comes to that, can afford to pay for an elite bodyguard. The pilot themselves may or may not be a dangerous combatant, but the two ex-megacorporate "Personnel Affairs Agents" with DUST implants in their heads and augmented muscles who are following them at a discrete distance in nice and anonymous, but capacious suits?
Bear in mind, in real life there is such a thing as armoured clothing, to be worn by politicians. It's good enough to stop a 9mm handgun at point blank range. and in the EVE world, we know dropsuits have shield emitters, maybe you can buy more discreet ones that operate under clothing.
So the scenario is: you attack the capsuleer. With their heightened cybernetic reflexes, they dodge the attack, or with their expensive armoured executive clothing and shield emitter belt they are spared the worst of it. An instant later their bodyguard have drawn scrambler pistols and you are now a microwave dinner. The capsuleer pays any fines and expenses to the station management and loses the miniscule cost in a cunning tax return the next time they sell a shipment of missile launchers. Your corpse is thrown in the biomass vats and used to fertilise the stations' hydroponics bay.
well since you put it that way....

So, the overall verdict would be that Capsuleers are incredibly dangerous outside the Pod, but not immortal. |
