Technically, no.

You're not human, the dead pilot is just one of the many worthless ingredients that went into creating you.

For an illustration of how massively not the same person you are: the pilots used are intentionally selected from the most loyal citizens of the empires. Guess how long that lasts, generally.

So the personality is totally changed, just like the empires sacrifice the pilots to summon my capsuleer? (well my description is not like si-fi LOL)
But in the old day they just put human into capsule aren't they. What's the difference between put human in to the capsule with clone function and put nowadays special...person?

Your character's brain is scanned before your 'consciousness' is transferred to another clone. The method used is very destructive and will kill the person/clone.

So yes, when your character initially becomes a capsuleer that first scan procedure kills the original, and your consciousness is uploaded to your subsequent clone.

Upon the death of each clone a fresh scan is taken in the microsecond before death (in fact that scan itself would kill the clone, were they not already being killed by someone else). So your character will always be the same person - themselves, or at least that is how they will feel. Their memory will continue on from the point their last clone died and they will remember the moment of death itself too.

Because you mentioned getting into RP there's also a concept used in the RP community called "soft cloning", which is a non-deadly way of having your clone's mind scanned/saved. But you can learn about that later.

Welcome and have fun.

So not this

clone 1 - storage - clone 2

but this

clone 1 - clone 2

Found the backstory to the Capsule and Cloning: here

this whole discussion creeps me out. After reading this stuff I don't even want to clone jump. Which I guess brings up the question why do we have to travel somewhere to set up a jump clone? I mean if our memories are just being transferred to a new body can't that be done anywhere?

ooooo it gets creepier when you start thinking about alts.

are they collectivly mindsharing or a hive mind of some sort?
are they slaved to one dominant one or is there a shadowy prescience manipulating them from behind a keyboard ...err shadowy veil of mystery.

do they even have any agency of theirown ect ect...

Oooh look a rabit, cmere ya little fecker...

no i think the change has more to do with simply becoming an immortal infomorph with little in the way of restrictions.

power corrupts, make any man a demigod and im sure he will become a monster in short order.

Yeah, but... you willingly get a ship blown up in the training missions (an explicit objective in one of them), within a matter of _minutes_ of successfully incarnating as a capsuleer.

Ships, canonically, have crews. That's a... pretty big jump in morality for 15 minutes of "still basically the same as a frigate pilot" levels of power. It's fairly clear from context that the personality shift is a lot more than a slow drift into selfishness over time.

Well, OK, not that big a shift for the Amarr pilots, in fairness.

Look, Jim, Tom, and Billy were all jerks anyway. They deserved to be blown up and the universe doesn't miss them.

There's a reason the Amarr have issues with capsuleers. Soulless abominations, to some of them.

A Match Made in Heaven
It was not until eight years ago that clone manufacturers realized the vast potential of the hydrostatic capsule as a platform for their own technology. Funded by some of the largest megacorporation conglomerates in the universe, they set to work on capsule research and development, buying permission from the proper agencies to make modifications to the original blueprint.
After years of dedicated research, a breakthrough was made. In YC 104 (two years ago), the first transneural burning scan interface was successfully installed in a capsule; technology that would, within six months of testing, allow for perfect clone
transplantation upon pod breach in 99.7% of tested instances GÇô a level of reliability far surpassing anything the cloning industry had ever achieved before.
At that point, utilizing the considerable capital at their disposal, the cloning corporations managed through incessant and insidious marketing strategies to change the public perception sufficiently to allow them to push their industry into the limelight through the avenue of the hydrostatic capsule. After six months of exhaustive testing and tireless marketing, the transneural burning scan interface was finalized and public perception had been primed.
At the same time this was happening, CONCORD prepared and adopted legal acts which required every single manufactured capsule to be fitted with a transneural echo burning scanner, in addition to mandating clone contracts for every single pilot
cleared to fly a capsule-fitted vessel. The official rationale given for the laws was that an increase in the viable applications of capsule equipment would allow for further exploration along the technological frontier as well as the trackless fathoms of deep space. It was, of course, widely whispered that the cloning companies had used their megacorp backing to effect these legislative changes, but those theories were never conclusively proven.
Whatever its real causes, the fact remained GÇô the capsule and the clone were now inextricably joined, the legislative mandate consolidating their bond. Thus was born the PC pilot.

If it's technically needed to use clone body to be capsuleer then it sound strange to have legislative mandate force that every single pilot cleared to fly a capsule-fitted vessel to have clone contracts.

Also it says clone in pod is "surpassing anything the cloning industry had ever achieved before." But in the video showing how they made capsuleer, which confuse me, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZPCiqBLPM8 it's not in pod, which is strange too.

Should we just exclude the information we get from the video?
