I pray to the Winds that a capsuleer can make an effective father, because I intend to pursue that vocation myself in the mid-term. I have the same problems you mention and the added issue of being tubeborn and never having witnessed parenting in the truest sense. On the other hand, I am aware of the negative impact that parents have made on some of my friends - so perhaps I'm simply getting a clean start.
Good luck with your decision making. I don't agree that a parent needs to be in constant contact with their child in order to make a good father, but I do think you need to make sure you're a part of their lives and keep that connection alive. Don't forget that, as a capsuleer, you may be comitting to much more than a single child, you may be devoting the rest of your VERY long existence to a dynasty.
Also, always remember that your family will be something that others seek to use against you. Keep them secret and keep them safe. |

The sad thing is that for all our vaunted immortality, there's still no substitute for leaving behind a legacy. |

Someone is going to be remembered for what they do to your children, just remember that.
That person would be remembered for what I did to them and THEIR family, believe me. |

As Isis points out, everyone has something they care about and most of that is accessible to somebody with the reach of an Empyrean. |

I want to disagree with James, but he's right. Attacking a capsuleers family is far easier than attacking them directly - in the long run it won't achieve ANYTHING of lasting importance, except for turning a professional rival into an intractable enemy, but it IS easy and the easy non-solution always attracts the lower class of enemy. |

Good grief, Diana, I have about an hour a week taken up in public appearances, at the least. Not to mention the t-shirts, the posters, the action figure that just came out (Apparently it has a karate chop action and you can style the beard and hair). One company does digital 'trading cards' of STPRO pilots and contacted me regarding my "Rookie of the Year" card for Caldari Militia in YC114.
At a convention last year I saw about thirty baseliners who were cosplaying as me. My assistant processes a good three to four thousand information requests and fanmails every week. Quotations in those fanmails and informaiton requests suggest that many people are monitoring my activity in the Channel "The Summit" as well as on the IGS board, here.
As for capsuleers having children, as a Citizen of the State, I shouldn't have to tell you that not only is it a privilege it is our duty to the State. |

Fans? Tuulinen-haan, your stubble will never cease to amaze me.
I wonder. I may have to ask the Torped-Os marketing staff what sort of inquiries they receive.
I suspect I have insulated myself from much of the strangeness of this world.
I didn't make the cluster, Priano-haani, I just try to live in it. And collect a 5% residual.
It's not as easy as it sounds - especially with Gesakaarin-ojaabun holding the rights to my digital image. |

Now I understand why that poster in the creche is familiar! You and Desiderya-haani are very popular with a small group of seven year olds here, it seems. Maybe you will meet them next time you are here! It would certainly make their day.
I'll make sure to make the time, Schere-suuolo. Let me know what time of the day works with their creche-leader. I need to get some of my blood bugs calibrated anyway so I can plan both things on the same day. Also need to collect those hugs. |

I don't see Isis as a threatening personality here, I think - if anything - she is trying to ward some of you from the dark forces that she perceives other capsuleers to be.
I'll admit she has given her warning clumsily, but I don't see malice in her intentions and I think some people have chosen to be personally offended where there is no cause. |

I am no more a 'biological fitting' for my ship than is the man who loads the missile launchers or parses the sensor data into information.
I am sure that people crossed similar psychological thresholds when we could first guarantee that there would be enough food for everyone to survive the next winter. When we developed antibiotics and surgery. When we developed medical nanites. Now our life expectancy is up around a century for a human being, with every expectancy that they will be 100 useful and viable years.
Has the knowledge that we won't starve turned us into monsters?
I have always worked in high-risk professions, but the risks to my body as a capsuleer dwarf the chances I used to take as a cop. Bodyarmour didn't make me take risks on getting shot that weren't part of my profession. Cloning doesn't make me take risks with my life that aren't a part of my profession.
Now SOME of us are risktakers. Perhaps that predilection for risk is something that comes more frequently to those of us with the genetic signature for the pod? |

To be so alone - how frightening. I'm so glad I have the Corporation. My crew aren't merely hirelings, but my kirjuun. |

Proper Civire children is it? I guess I will take what I can get with you Kim. I'm just surprised you're not crucifying me for dating a woman who is not Caldari.
She was talking to me. Since I'm pure-Civire and I married a woman who is also pure-Civire she believes that our children would be genetic inheritors of a pure Caldari bloodline.
