I see quite a few capsuleers with an eye patch or a scar tracing through a milky dead socket. Surely, such a malady would be afflicted before being transformed into a capsuleer given our constant clone refreshes when we reach our numerous, reckless deaths. Indeed, even if they were maimed before becoming a capsuleer, the cloning process would surely provide a properly regenerated host body free of non-genetic damage.

I therefore suspect that you patch wearing pilots are really hiding a good eye, and the pilots with a milky dead socket are wearing a colored contact lense.

So, why do you go through such theatrics to feign an eye injury? Is it to look tough? To impress the girls? Explain your vanity to me. Pirate
