So I was reading EvE universe (the shiney new art book) and came across this
pg 141
[quote[A capsuleer killed out of her capsule might die permanently, and if not, she will lose much time in the gap between her backup's creation and her new cloning.[/quote]
So is that CCP actually confirming soft cloning as actual canon rather than RPer backstory extrapolation and fudging? |

That confirms backup clones. It is not a confirmation of soft clones (soft clone being defined as a slow brain scan that doesn't destroy the brain in the process).
So, backup clones are indeed a thing. Soft clones however are still up in the air.

Hmmm. Alright. So-- periodically, I could euthanize to have a duplicate mind-state stored even as I'm burned into a new clone?

I was under the impression soft clones and backup clones are the same thing. Effectively, what's the difference between being killed and sent to a soft clone vs a backup clone?

A backup clone can be created through a burn scan. You go to a lab, get euthanized and cloned, while having a copy of your data saved to file as an emergency backup.
A soft clone on the other hand is you go to a lab, get slow scanned and have that data saved to file, then walk out in the same body you came in with.

I do not quite understand why people would have a strong preference for 'soft clone' versus a backup? I cannot think of that many fiction circumstances where it would be required rather than fitting in euthanasia and a backup. |
