I am genuinely curious. With the exception of a few, I doubt every capsuleer exclusively will be spending their immortal life inside a pod, blowing other ships away, and such.
So, what do you do when you are away from the ships, the stations, and the pod?
For myself, beyond drinking gallons of coffee from all over the cluster, i have a rather simple lifestyle. Home is on Intaki Prime, in the Akat mountain range (and no, I won't say where...)
My pasttime when not worrying about freight runs, paying my crews, keeping my ships flying, and drinking aforementioned coffee....is fishing.
If the world's temperate, and the local wild and plant life doesnt try to eat me or anything, then it's pretty likely i'll grab a pole, see what i can use for bait, and spend a few hours to a few days seeing what I can catch. When home on Intaki, that is likely why I am there, and what someone will find me doing.
Although, catching something is secondary, decompression, destressing, and contemplation is the idea.
So, what does IGS do outside the pod?

Over the last five years, my family has reinvented itself as a corporate entity, known as Hakatain Dynasty [H-DYN]. I'm the head of H-DYN's research division and I spend a fair bit of my time doing work for that, and negotiating the sale of our findings to larger corps. Our two biggest buyers are Zainou and Lai Dai.
For leisure, I do resistance training and I meditate regularly, for entertainment I attend Splinterz matches (I have VIP season passes to the State's five largest arenas), and as a hobby I make stuff. I've made everything from a wedding ring to a wall-sized bas-relief. Right now I'm making a pair of collar pins for a friend.

Sleep.
LOTS of sleep.
Being plugged in to a Cruiser for extended periods of time is somewhat draining.
I also eat like a madman, my station delivery order charges are atrocious, even for a Capsuleer. Sure, the pod gives the required nourishments while in-flight, but one still craves the taste of real food. Well, as real as station food can be. and then of course I need to work all that food off, and keep my personal combat skills up to par.
I've been trying to catch up with a few Holoshows and Holoreels, but a lot of the time I fall asleep in the middle of them.
so, in short. Eat, Work Out, watch Holos. sleep. I don't do much exciting as of yet. |

Drinking and negotiation with local security personel about my behavior usually ending up in a sparring match where we decide where i sleep the next night.
After which regardless where i spend the night i read latest engineering journals on a pad. Personally i find journals from the republic most fascinating since they seem to have this endless talent for improvisation. |

I am a Holder. This means I have a territory (albeit not a large one) to oversee, people to keep well, competing interests to balance... this consumes a fair portion of my time - at least one full day a week, plus portions of time on other days.
I have also found someone with whom I enjoy spending a great deal of time.
Finally, I get out and socialize some in order to ensure that I don't become some kind of out-of-touch recluse like so many of the... 'touched' capsuleers become. |

I grew up in a habitat that didn't have artificial gravity (outside of the half-gee area children live in), so I've got to work out pretty religiously or I'll be sore from just living in a gravity field - usually an hour or so a day of contrology and resistance training.
I've been studying wormholes and their interrelation with Sleepers and Sanshas, which takes quite a bit of time. I also like to cook - there are a lot of cool things you can do with food if you cook it in gravity! - and I like just moving around and seeing the cluster. It's been a long time since I left the Federation, and I never really saw a lot of it before I left, so there's a lot of catching up to do.

I used to be a uniformed peace officer and I still maintain contacts in that community. I consult on such matters for other capsuleers or baseliner institutions. I'm a Kalaakiota citizen-shareholder and corporate duties take up a small amount of time on a semi-regular basis.
I have a wife, obviously spending time with her is a priority. I work out and train regularly in various disciplines. I take time to visit my friends and to host them in return. I have my duties as an Operative in Pyre Falcon Defence Combine - these take up a large percentage of any given day. |

Sounds like you're doing this "capsuleer" thing right, Miss Vitalia.
As for my contribution to the topic at hand, my private affairs when I am not in a capsule are just that - private. |

I mostly just sit in my quarters eating food rations and drinking water, hours upon hours of nothing but nutrients injected into your bloodstream makes you a bit hungry even after switching clones. Occasionally I go explore the galaxy, take care of my emissary and study on cultures among other things.
And when I want to have fun I take a dropsuit and go deepsea exploring with it.

I enjoy lounging around in the outdoors, away from technology. Or even though I have never been there in person, even staying at the hut that the Standing Place channel was connected to was very relaxing. Before the channel was converted to a simple chat channel.
If I can't do that, I light incense and read in my cabin at the station.

For the vast majority of the time I am busy running the small Island I hold as a Holder, various issues occasionally crop up which need dealing with. Otherwise I attend theaters and the occasional wine bar.
I also try to spend a small portion of my time wandering the halls of my vessels getting to know members of the crew and the officers responsible for managing them while I'm shut up in the pod.Lately however I've been spending the weekends in a lovely bar in Yulai viewing the now completed tournament

What I do outside my capsule? Um, to be honest, I haven't really left my capsule in the four days since I rid myself of my mortality.
Four days... You know what? I'm flying to my parent's home immediately after posting this. I've experienced so much in this little time, but a nice, peaceful moment with family may be just what I need to calm my frayed nerves. |

Out of pod, well there is lots of planning to do when living in anoikis, though to relax I tend to go running. I feel it has a sort of meditative effect when I push it hard enough. Normally all through our tower but where we are now there are planets to explore as well.
Aside from that, partying till the days blur together, and loving like every day could be my last.

I like growing my own fruit and vegetables, and fishing of course. I tend to get out of pod quite often and spend time with my wife. Currently also busy child psychology and pediatrics considering a potential future adoption.
So enough to keep me busy while not hauling cargo around and responding to distress calls.

My position requires I do quite a bit of work when not in the Pod. I also like to keep up on the news which is easier when not being shot at, so I'll do that as well. For fun; smoke, eat, taking part in and watching sports (splinterz especially), a select choice of holo-series' and there's an awful lot of sleep. |

As a miner by trade you would think i would find dirt and grime fairly old fairly quickly, but i personally find myself at a bit of a loss without it these days. so a number of years back to took up Paleontology on local worlds, shifting from one hole to another just seems to suit me. Plus on a more personal note, getting to name a long dead species ... Priceless. |

I spend very little time out of my capsule.
After almost 7 years with this thing it's begun feeling like my body, and I'll admit I've lost some of my physical strenght over the years. The pods automatic muscle stimulation system doesn't quite give the same as real exercise.
When i do leave my body and walk around in the bag of flesh that used to represent my being, it's almost always to attend ceremonies at the monastery i was educated at. They require us to physically there and as such is one of the only things i can't do from my pod.
Rarely, but it does happen, I find that my holographic environments won't allow for satisfying meditation and I unpack my "traveling altar".
Reading what you other people spend your time on has made me feel a bit like a hermit, though.
I might go try out fishing again. I haven't done that since i was egged. |

I have a son, I have recently become engaged, and I have the rest of my family and Clan, all of whom get the lion's share of any time I have outside of the capsule, and the duties which come with it. My studies receive most of what little time is left.
I was a tailor before I became a capsuleer. I still enjoy the craft, though now I do it to make unique gifts for friends and family for special ocassions, not to earn my dinner. I also love to swim. Love it. I try to go at least once a day.

Honestly, most of the time being in the capsule is a hobby, a form of stress relief. Most of my work involves planetside politics and the business of business as a Khanid Holder. A somewhat different prospect from an Amarrian one, I'll add. Most recently I've been dealing with dealers and exporters for the first wine to come from the former Vitalia vineyards.
On a more personal level, I have a rigorous daily regime of exercises and martial arts practice, and if it's sunny, you'll definitely find me sprawled out in the garden. |

Most of the time I spend outside of the pod is learning how to live and enjoy the life I have. Might sound odd, but having been a shut-in for most of my life, being thrust out into the great wide open of space has shown me I have missed a lot and now it's time to make up for those wasted years.

I enjoy running (not very compatible with smoking but, whatever), sampling various boutique label and small batch liquors, searching for the perfect hand-rolled cigar and learning about Sebiestor philosophy and spiritualism. Oh, and drones. I love taking them apart, modifying them and looking for ways to make them do things their designers never intended. Playing around with mechanical devices in general is relaxing for me.
Taunting blowhards on GalNet can also be fun.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused. |
