Combat drones? Probably the Caldari line of combat drones. I have no problems with the logistic drones. For electronic warfare drones, well, the EC drones especially when used against me but who likes getting jammed out by a flight of EC drones?
For any drones not launched by the drone bay, my least favourite would be these mouse drones that run on the tiny wheels. The chassis is useless for anything. They can't go into the vents because they can't climb, they can't reach any damage areas that are not on the floor, they can't handle rough terrain and they tend to just flip over whenever a starship receives a hard knock. No surprise the design was phased out within a year.
Favourite complement with Long Limbed Roes?

Probably this rifle my gramps built and has since passed down as a sort of family heirloom. Wooden stock, bolt-action, very robust, immune to humidity and weather, fires 10mm shells, can pierce a Paladin's armour from long distances. From the top of the mountain to the village right at the bottom, so my gramps asserted. Never seen this make in any gun shop anywhere.
Fired it occasionally to make sure it's working properly every once in a while. Can't confirm that it can punch through a Paladin's helmet but the shot did punch right through the plated ceiling and very nearly hit two neighbours two storeys up during one of my maintenance cycles.
I can confirm that the rifle will still fire after it's dropped into the mud or left in high humidity environment for a month.
Who here actually enjoys long limbed roes?

Just this Gnosis and Sunesis which I do not have any idea what to do with. Probably will sell it off, I guess?
I think I got a Gecko off something that launches drones but I'm probably remembering it wrong.

In what way did the first time you died affect you? I woke up in a CRU, and started laughing my ass off when I realized I'd left my last **** at the epicenter of a thermonuclear detonation right along with my then current clone. Kinda liberating, really. And one hell of a rush.
Have you ever hit a point where you wonder if you're the same person after one too many clones? If so, how did you feel about it? |

Well, the first time I slept after dying was rather unpleasant. A nightmare of getting killed in a variety of creative ways over and over again what what felt like hours. You know how you're supposed to wake up after dying in a dream? Turns out that if you know you'll just get shoved into a fresh clone, you can just keep the dream going. Not that I'd recommend it. I needed a LONG shower after that.
How did you find out that you had the DNA markers needed to be a capsuleer?
I barely have the ISK to keep myself flying. I'm a terrible pilot. I'm an even worse businesswoman. I'm not even sure what half my ship's controls are for. But in some small way, I'm helping. And I couldn't be happier.

I don't think I've ever been perfectly content in a situation where thinking about how to prolong it would help, so mostly I've just avoided doing anything to disturb the moment and enjoyed being where I was, for as long as that lasted.
Do you ever wonder whether the universe you arrive in at the other end of a warp or wormhole (including jumping) is the same universe, or just a very similar one? (After all, our methods of transportation get us around the usual rules about the speed of causality by dropping us out of the world in one place and sticking us back into it somewhere else. How sure are we that we're really bobbing back to the surface of the same world?)
Does it even matter?
Edit: blast it!
Um. ... Horribly, the thing I've owned longest is probably the Goblin Spider, the Tengu my predecessor disappeared from.
She ... kind of spaced her crew, or, rather, their atmosphere, after which it didn't matter a lot whether the crew itself wound up outside or not.
There are a few other ships I've had longer than I've been my subjective self, but, that's the only one with much personal significance.

Saille Horo'Sha wrote: How did you find out that you had the DNA markers needed to be a capsuleer?
This thread has become terribly convoluted. In the spirit of keeping things confusing, I'm going to jump back to this question. Sorry, Pilot Jenneth.
Nobody in my nuclear family had known we were compatible. Apparently, it runs in my mother's blood. Shame so much of it's still in the Kingdom. Anyways, I suspect that even if Ishukone knew (and who's to say they didn't), they wouldn't have offered any of us corporate egger roles. Frankly, I doubt it'd be good internal PR to pass over ethnic Caldari for such a individually-prestigious honor in favor of a handful of Matari. My mother was poached as a published researcher and production officer at what was essentially a small think tank funded directly by Lai Dai (Startower Advanced Gravimetric Solutions) and dropped into logistics management, of all things. Ishukone loves their boast that Anybody Will Rise, but for the funny looking people, it's better that they rise as a group in the role that people expect from them. I can understand and respect that, don't get me wrong.
Speculation aside, my mom was only 2nd gen in the State. Unsure loyalties and all; a bold red flag.
I've rambled away from answering the question. Apologies.
So. You know those shady little booths that suspiciously candid younger women wheel around broad pedestrian roads on planetary cities, the ones that almost would blend in with the grime-covered food cabs and performance artists' pageant wagons if it weren't for the disconcerting array of glass vials and metal tubes atop it and the coat of blown-up Real Endorsements from Real Capsuleers? The ones where they draw your blood while talking really fast and very sweetly and do some loud stuff to it and never actually give it back after they're done and you're floating away on the hot air of false hope? Well, if you don't, expect to find your DNA found at the scene of something grisly or your bank account emptied or a second you running around with a different face. Know that only a fool or an idiot would actually have a lapse of trust long enough to sit down in that chair.
Anyways, I was deeply enough intoxicated to be both of those, and my drinking fellows of coincidence had placed what was probably at least five whiskies' worth of money on my compatibility. An aside: never agree to a bet in Ani. Your pockets will empty soon enough in either place, but least in Lonetrek the people walking away with your money won't be so damn charismatic that you'll be happily chasing after them to offer more. Anyways, I ended up giving a bunch of happy men a lot of cheap liquor I didn't have money for later that night. But my interest was piqued. It was probably the first potentially meaningful event I'd experienced in the better part of the year. I shipped a box of my bloodwork to a PTS campus; knowing full well that the Nakugard vendor was lying out her ass to another listless nobody. I was proven wrong twice, I suppose. I promptly went into denial; and how I got my life back together is story I doubt I'll ever tell.
But anyways, what was the start of my journey to plastic bones.

No, because my warp drive makes use of the fact that space itself can move at any speed but that doesn't mean causality within that space is violated. However that does seem like a meta-physical question along the lines of: You are in a room with four walls and four doors and don't remember how you got there. If you open a door and enter an exact same room with four walls and four doors and don't remember how you got there is it a different room?
An outside observer might say yes, they're different rooms because they exist outside such a paradigm and can see the sequence of rooms but the for the person going through the rooms and not remembering how they got there they can only really observe that they've always existed in the exact same room.
So until there's evidence that using a warp-drive or jumping has caused an actual difference in the nature of causality and determinism in the universe before and after then no, it doesn't matter to me.

So, no. Empathically so. In fact, I'd be annoyed if someone had the temerity to die for my sake, too. What in blazes am I supposed to do with the corpse of someone who loved me? Live for me instead.

That the pursuit of eradicating contradiction and ensuring consistency of thought in generally held beliefs annoys those who would consider it an act of dissent, treason, subversion, or heresy against the cultural norm of their ideology and politics.
I would say that at least could be considered a widely applicable annoyance.

I might have a role model but that was so long ago, when I was a very young child, that I completely forgot who that is. I had grown up in an environment where I had seen the best and the worst in people on fast forward. Now, when I see a virtuous person, I take that he or she has an unsavoury flip-side in his or her character as granted.
Is there anyone you know whom you simply can't find in yourself to like or trust, even though you know that the reason for such dislike and distrust is irrational?
