I recently got a new computer and therefore watched the intro movie for the first time in years. It includes a section where the capsuleer's consciousness is transferred from the original body, which dies. In EVE Source, this is also mentioned as one of the final steps in capsuleer training.
However, I'm curious as to where this came in. This was something mentioned off and on as part of their history by RP players, but until recently I don't recall it being part of canon.
In fact, it stands as a contradiction to prior fiction. The last series of Amarr heirs were all capsuleers, yet their Godflesh doctrine wouldn't allow the clone-transfer stage. In The Empyrean Age, it's mentioned that Korvin Lears was disoriented after his first combat death, when his new body lacked the scars and marks of his original. It also doesn't seem likely that Jacus Roden or Alexander Noir were ever subject to this sort of procedure.
Is this something that is being retroactively applied, or a procedure that is relatively new in New Eden (i.e., since the development of Templar tech)? |

Thank you. I'm just getting back into exploring the fiction and trying to figure out what's new and what's retconned. I'll have to find those dev responses.
I knew the capsule tech pre-dated the cloning procedures (see: Jovian Wetgrave) but wasn't sure at what point in time the euthanization protocol came into play. The oldest capsuleers would obviously pre-date it, but as of Empyrean Age it still didn't seem to be standard/commonplace. |

Thanks Falcon!
Also re: this:
CCP Falcon wrote: The article on the clone and capsule tech that's in Source is actually a pretty heavily abridged version of the full text due to space saving constraints, but there's a lot more fleshed out behind the scenes that goes further into depth that Delegate Zero and I co-wrote.
I'll look to see if we can release it in upcoming backstory projects that we're looking to put together :)
