Intergalactic Summit

It is very, very difficult to kill a capsuler, they say. With training, implants and cloning we are effectively immortal; Provided of course, we update the clone on a regular basis, or spend most of our time in the pod.

So what do you do with your immortality?
What do you want to do in the next century?
For those of you who survived for a time as a capsuleer, what have you accomplished?

Discuss.

In 8 years, I am much further along than I had planned.

Still, another century or so is to be expected for my ambitions to see fruition.

In six years of capsule I have witnessed New Eden status decaying to a point that makes one wonder if we jumped back centuries ago.

I still continue to spend my time to learn and do what I can to see us all advance again together. I hope this will be the case in the next century, and more importantly, in the next milleniums.

Mmm. Excellent point.

With my immortallity I have put my faith in one man, I wish to see his dreams become reality. If only I could be of some use to Master Kuvakei then my life as a capauleer was a success....

As far as what I have done, I was there with the Master in the Promised Land and i worked with some pretty Amazing people to help further the goals of Nation. Some are estranged at the moment but I am sure they will be back in due time.

The capsuleer existence is a new experience for me, as well. It is something to be explored, and furthered upon.

Perhaps one day I will grow tired of this form of immortality, tired of knowing that those who do not share the status of capsuleer are fated to grow old and perish while we live on as copies many times removed from our original forms. One cannot help but wonder if we will remain the same as centuries drag on - if we will become indifferent and callous gods amongst the masses.

Of course, some would say that there are those capsuleers who have already started down that path.

No, when the time comes that I have seen and experienced all that I wish to in this immortal life - when I have made my mark and legacy in this cluster to my satisfaction - then I will set my affairs in order. Then I will terminate my gestating and waiting clones, unplug myself from my pod for all time, and perhaps retire to some out of the way world to live out my days.

Or set the autopilot of my vessel to dive into a system primary, or perhaps the EVE Gate whilst I stand on the bridge and contemplate this new adventure before me.

*nods and switches off the commlink*

I'm still a very new pilot and have very much to learn from others.

With my immortality I plan on growing as much as I can as a person. At the least, I hope that I am able to touch the lives of the other capsuleers that I'm around.

I'm hoping to fight alongside my new family and make them proud.

Perhaps.

Even if those goals are already met, it doesn't hurt to continue to expand upon them.

I've been a capsuleer for something like six years now. I've become rich, although not as rich as some, and skilled, although not as skilled as some. I've gained money, respect and power, and lost it as well, although I always end up with a little more of each than I had to begin with. I've fought and won wars, and lost them as well. I've wielded power - sometimes I've had it taken from me, and other times I've held it long enough to simply grow bored of it and find something else. I've made friends and enemies, and forged other relationships less easily definiable - and ended them, too. I've seen the depths of wormhole space and the very edges of New Eden, and I've visited every single one of the core worlds too. I've been a miner, a researcher, an industrialist, a warrior, a mercenary, an advisor, a follower, a leader and a wanderer.

I don't think that, in any single endeavour, I've been as successful as other capsuleers who've mastered it, but I am secure in the knowledge that not every capsuleer has experienced as broad a selection of experiences as I have.

Right now, I'm content to use the considerable knowledge I've accrued over the course of my career to assist a burgeoning alliance that supports the same ideologies as I do.

Here are, in chronological sequence, the crucial things I learned upon becoming a capsuleer:

1. I can make more money than ever before.
2. I AM making more money than ever before.
3. I can make more money than all other pilots.
4. I HAVE made more money than all other pilots.
5. Money is completely without meaning.
6. The human universe operates in cycles of annihilation.
7. Civilizations rise rapidly until reaching a critical point of evolution.
8. After this point, the civilizations vanish. We are at the end-stage of such a cycle.
9. The one common element in each cycle is the presence of the Jovians.
10. We are not such a common element. We are about to cease to exist.

11. I will continue to exist regardless of what happens to the rest of you.

That last one is a present, personal goal.
