My bad, haven't had my caffeine for the day, I'd go for guristas in that case. I like their ships and I think that would be the only one I wouldn't have to stretch my morals as much to actually fly for.

What, if any, are your steps for minimising crew fatalities?

First and foremost, we deploy only the smallest and fastest vessel that can do the job. Since our crew compliments are almost always small but our baseline personnel pool is large, we borrowed a page from the Federation Navy SOP in the form of a shift plan for three 18-hour days. I believe this scheme was developed by/for their covert ops wings, but I'm far from an expert on military matters. In any case, the six-hour shifts keep the teams fresh and the XOs have reported improvements in focus and initiative. Regular drilling on all active and moored vessels encourages crew members to adopt emergency protocols as second-nature. Nothing extraordinary, to my knowledge.

When have you misjudged yourself?

So many times I do not remember exactly when. The last time I misjudged myself and my Breacher's capabilities we got alphaed by artillery Thrasher. Twice.

Claw or Taranis?

Taranis. The Claw might be pretty fast and agile, but I can't shake the feeling that the ship is going to rip itself to pieces at the speeds it is intended to travel at.

Rain or snow?

Snow, you can bundle up and enjoy the beauty when things clear up.

Scotch or Wine?

With the caveat that I am not of the faithful, the keening of of a pulsar in my ears; the rumble of a red giant in my chest; the susurrus and caress of a gas giant's upper atmosphere; the wind of the Nexus buffeting my ship.

One could say that technology enables me to better experience divinity.

Prepare for the improbable so that when the inevitable happens you can deal with it.

Mother Evati; she always provided the kills, and may yet do so again.*

You're tasked to run a capsuleer social event thats, quote, "a little more refreshing and unusual than the usual," unquote. What do you come up with?

Cabaret night.

And yes, you're supposed to keep the 'yarr' to 'Ar(rr)nher.'

If you could pick one, what ship would you like to meet piloting certifications for most, that you do not already qualify for?

The Bowhead. Because my choices are that or the Rorqual.

Well, when it really comes down to it I'd say the most logical answer would be myself, considering I have awful skills, fits and flying experience.

Who is the most boring capsuleer you know?

Most boring capsuleers, you mean. Miners in highsec. They say nothing and are highly unresponsive. Like they aren't even there, in the pod.

Do you like the current system of taking sovereign, or do you prefer the previous system, or the system (or rather, absence of system) before that?

They all suck and are rather unintuitive. This one is probably the least terrible.

Who is the capsuleer you've got the hots for? (No known spouses or significant others please, let's make this juicy)

(And thus dies this thread, sorry Thal ole buddy but I've got a terrible reputation to maintain)

Oh, and no saying 'Me' or 'My clone' ya egomaniacs..

Sinjin Mokk. Treacherous, dashing, at least plausibly golden-hearted? Possibly? For a bit?

Well. It's not as though I'm asking him to dinner, regardless.

My damn long coat. I really like that thing.

Genemodding and genetic manipulation. But I will probably need to learn everything biology on top of these. In much greater detail than what I know currently.

What's the biggest vessel you had flown solo that you were able to dock up in at the end of the day?

Technically an archon, if not acceptable then a Megatron.

Using the spare high on an extreme-range Jackdaw for a cloaking device.

Actually I still don't understand why everyone in PY-RE hated the idea. It takes way more time to get into a complex from outside to execute an ambush than it does to just decloak and recalibrate the sensors. Cloaking devices on warships not specialized for it just ... isn't done, I guess? I got one semi-approving, "That's not nice!" and a whole lot of, "Just no."

I still don't get it.

What do you have for breakfast on a typical day?
