It's good to see that you're as well-informed as ever, Ixiris.

As I recall, having participated and examined the recordings of the tournament, there were no pod pilot deaths, and to date, no crew deaths reported. Some ships were lost. Nothing more.
When a battleship is destroyed, large numbers of people die. It's a fact.
As for no crew deaths being reported, you really should read the news more often.
Of course, your attitude is hardly surprising, as we've all come to expect a callous disregard for non-pod life from the SF.

You know, I really should read the news more often, you're right.
It's also nice to see that your regard for your fellow human being showing through so brightly. I shall expect to see you running your single-seater civilian craft from here on. I tend to take the position that we all take risks, for which we receive something we value. Sometimes these don't pay off. If they always did, it wouldn't be a risk anymore.
Good luck in civilian life.
The difference is that my crew risk their lives for a cause and when a ship falls they die knowing that they will have a place in heaven, whilst the crew of an SF tournament ship is there to get paid for entertaining people, and when their ship is destroyed they die wondering not only how their families will support themselves but also if their their absence will even be noticed by their pre-human overlords.

With respect Admiral Blake, the crew members know the risks when they sign up to work for a pod pilot. They are adults free to make their own choices in lifeā assuming they are not slaves.
Indeed, but my point is that a death for a noble cause is more worthwhile than being slaughtered for someone else's entertainment.

Certain people make the mistake of thinking that entertainment of others is at the forefront of the minds of those who take part. They are largely wrong on this score. As I earlier indicated, the challenge, the test and the meeting in combat with peers among the capsuleer class and, for our crews, pitting themselves against other crews is key. Moreover, the cause of the Star Fraction is brought into view once more, widely among capsuleers and beyond to non-capsuleers. Our crews are intelligent, they understand the value of this and they understand that their risk is worthwhile in the service of the cause they consider important.
That the Star Fraction feels the need to act like performing monkeys to publicise their cause says a lot about the quality of their previous endeavours.
