Or has anyone else wondered why there are SO many lights on the ships that only have 1 capsuleer in them? This is terrible energy efficiency, so let's turn them all off and see if we can get some more PG!

Right I'm not a lore/RPer guy. But the pod is a bit confusing. On one hand we're told you sit in the pod and control the ship...on the other CCP puts out videos giving the impression that were not...The community sais that Ships have multiple crew members, =\ i have no idea. |

The ships have crew except for shuttles and some frigates.
There is a table somewhere that contains the numbers, but the larger the ship, the more crew going up to many thousand on some ships.
The crew are not immortal.

In my opinion, those lights are mostly sensor arrays and shield projectors anyway.
Hard to explain the relative sizes and size differences otherwise, I think. |

IIRC...
- all ships have crews
- pod pilots simply reduce the necessary crew by literally "becoming" the ship (via a neural uplink in the "pod" itself).
- in "becoming" the ship the pod pilot can directly control various ship systems.
- with direct control to all ship systems the need for "officers" or a command crew is redundant... leaving only maintenance, damage control, and oversight people to keep things running smoothly.
- life is cheap in New Eden. No one sheds a tear if a battleship full of 6314 crew is wiped out.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

...which would inevitably lead to a situation developing where the ship captains wouldn't care, and would take hyper-extreme levels of risk involving the rest of the crew, not caring about the consequences, as death would mean nothing to the pilot-captain.
Frankly, I wouldn't board such a ship. I'd fear the captain might just throw my life away!  |

Crews. Your ship has a crew. Smaller than a non pod pilot crew, but it's there.

Yep, we have crews, according to lore nearly all of them survive catastrophic ship loss, depending on ship size. Crew have escape pods that do not show on the overview as they are tactically unimportant, not like a capsular pod.
edit: yes we are suspended in goo filled pods with a vr hookup via the spinal/neural implants that streams our thoughts into orders the crew can understand, on larger ships that may involve holographic projections and audio, visual feeds etc. It's safe to assume that projected images are what is seen in ccps latest trailers etc, though personally I find the cinematic style trailers abhorrent, rather un-eve.

... my ships are full of zombies... the blinking lights get them agitated, a rabid frenzy you might say, so they are lots of fun when I dock in Jita and let them loose with the rest of the zombies... 
... and I was just saying the other day, "Damn, I miss Soundwave"....

There was once a piece of lore/fiction that was written, i think it was in one of the first eveon's, pretty much you have a crew but they are forced to do your bidding. When you think 'fire my rocks into hat titan' the ships crew might be thinking 'we are going to die' but they can not do anything but follow the orders given by the pod pilot. My guess is crew's are a special job, where you get a lot of space bucks for **** work. |

It's not that they're forced to do your bidding, it's just that they took the job so they have to follow orders. And no, it doesn't pay a lot of space bucks (aka isk). There are a lot of normal people that need the job so take the risk of crewing a capsuleer's ship. And capsuleers don't care much about their lives which is one of the main reasons why capsuleers are reviled by normal people. |
