I don't personally carry a weapon, I guess I don't have any enemies to make it feel relevant, although I've been told that my seafood gumbo qualifies. Well, not that I usually carry that around either.
That's a somewhat rosy view of things perhaps.
The sad truth is there's a number of baseliners who automatically consider all capsuleers to be enemies just on principle and a number of them may be powerful or at least crazy enough to have a go at a capsuleer.
I don't have any enemies that I know of (I don't rule out the possibility of enemies that have not announced themselves to me be they economic rivals, rival research entities or people that I have been engaged in combat with), and while I try to remain discrete about my status - Aside from the data jacks, I have no other obvious augmentations and when I do bring bodyguards (very rarely) they are almost always plainclothes security who meld into the crowd - but I have still had a number of negative reactions on occasion.

I generally have a knife on me at all times for utility, though it's usable in hand to hand in a pinch, so I can always be considered armed after a fashion. As far as firearms go, I have a three shot scrambler derringer concealed on me at all times.
If I am in a bad part of town or feeling paranoid I may bring a proper pistol or even an SMG (depending how paranoid I am feeling). While I am trained in the use of multiple types of firearms and do visit the range from time to time for fire many of the types, rifles and shotguns are a bit unwieldy for everyday carry.

Edit: Caldari vs Gallente has been done to death in recent months.
As far as clones and whether or not they are you, that's a whole different discussion (maybe someone should start a thread for it), but if you really want to get into it, what makes a soft clone not you while a pod clone is? Either way the last you is dead. There's only a very small number of capsuleers in existence that still inhabit their original bodies. |
