Long story short, I was planning a holiday to the temperate planet Couster IV in 13 days time. Got the ISK costs sorted; orbit to ground, but my doctor said there'd be implications. He said that Capsuleers find it difficult to live in natural / geoengineered planetary environments because our immune systems are fragile. He has't replied to any more neocom messages since then, so what do you think? Is it all the years we spend stuffed inside our spacecraft - maybe something to do with cloning? He said this is the same reason we can't access civilian areas of space stations - the air isn't decontaminated for 'Capsuleer Consumption'.
It'd be nice to hear your theories behind this! |

Geez, you get sick just get a new clone...

I would imagine that in a future where nanotechnology, cloning, bio-engineering, and implants are so commonplace and mainstream such things wouldnt really be an issue. I'm sure there is some kind of nanite pill available that can be specifically tailor to your immune system and where youre going that would be able to keep you in good health for the duration, or at least i would hope so 20000+ years into the future. I wonder what the lore has to say about such things though. |

Capsuleers don't have naturally weak immune systems. Using combat boosters does destroy your immune system, so booster-heavy capsuleers would have issues, but capsuleers who don't use boosters are fine.
Capsuleers are able to leave the capsuleer sections of stations. The 'decontamination' thing is a piece of in-game fluff for why you can't open the door, but according to lore capsuleers regularly enter civilian areas or visit planets (this is called 'baselining' in lore).

i would say it depends on the planet, as some more tropical locations may have more exotic diseases. in any case, if its an explored/inhabited world, then most risks should be known, and you can just get a vaccine. the high risk areas would be terrestrial world in wormhole space. no telling what sort of bugs and parasites you could find on one of those.
most likely answer, is that someone may be trying to get at you through your doctor. there are a number of things which could be disguised as a vaccine that could hurt you even across clones. get a second opinion and upgrade your security to be safe. |

Those areas are restricted because capsuleers don't need to interact personally with other capsuleers. its a waste of time moving around a big infrastructure.
So they don't really need to interact to each other. Lost of humanity due technology. Remember they are immortal and have better things to do than moving around station.
The only events worth of interacting with others is for celebrations.
Sincerely with such futuristic technology, there are no more diseases. The Jove event and issues with bodies are probably due an overspecialization of genetic resources . An error in the DNA code that they were not able to identify.

I think there would still be diseases around, just probably not as many that would directly affect humans... more than likely the organism causing the initial disease would either just: A.) die off or the scenario that would be most likely B.) evolve into something that would indirectly affect humans (ie. food source/other animals, plants, environment)
Oh... computer viruses and the like... yeah, disease would just evolve...

Hahaha... I didn't mean any offense, I was just making a quick jab at social commentary on the extent of this in the modern world "Lost of humanity due technology"

seriously ?
With the tech they show in EVE sincerely the only diseases I can think of are bio-weapons designed to target capsuleers but natural diseases are non existent. Also computer viruses count as E-WAR.
=P
Not necessarily, any rogue drone can be classified as an evolved computer virus... especially if they are killing you and using your parts to, uh?, procreate?
Also how would you know if there are no natural diseases if you are in a pod all day? A disease could be defined as any source: bacteria, fungus, virus, parasite...
What was that one I'm thinking of.... they found it on an asteroid... Its on the tip of my brain...

This was it...(sorry it took so long, I had to log off for the day)Kyonoke Pit
Kyonoke Pit Chronicle wrote:the Kyonoke Infection - one of the most deadly and mysterious pestilences man has come into contact with.
A biological speck resembling a protein causes the plague. It enters the body through the respiration system and then enters the blood stream. From there it moves to the brain, where it germinates. In its advanced state, the protein speck enters the medulla oblongata, where it infects the nerve cells very rapidly. The host quickly loses control over all bodily functions, accompanied by a great amount of pain, finally resulting in heart- and lung failure within the space of a few minutes. The specks can survive in an advanced state for a few days; they can leave a dead host and enter another living being close by, in such cases the new host dies within a few hours once the speck has reached the brain. Pretty scary stuff... Even just the idea that this could have been manmade at some point maybe 10 000 or so years ago... but any planet could have had something that was either manmade, or brought to it by man and then evolved in order to survive on that planet (obviously without humans as a food/incubation source)
