I've got nothing to support it, but I just have a feeling that being in the pod itself is close to sleeping. The same way eating and other bodily functions are simply "taken care of", the same applies to sleeping.

Given that in the pod only so much is required of the body. A lot of what is happening is from the mind.

But sleep is for the mind more than the body. I would imagine that extended periods of pod activity require sleep. Sleeping in the pod shouldn't be a difficult concept. If anything needs to happen, the ship's AI (or crew) wake the gooey bastard up.

This poses an excellent question.. What is sleep? A partial disconnect from bodily awareness? Isn't a Capsuleer already in that state? So, does a Capsuleer need to sleep at all, while in pod, anyway? Do Sleepers sleep? Can infomorphs dream?

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then, and it's a poor sort of memory that only works backward.

i'm just wondering, because it would seam that pod guys would still need sleep sleep dose more for your mind than body( even tho your body dose like the 8 hours of doing nothing.)


i'm assuming they CAN sleep in the pod.


but do they?

In that case I'm thinking perhaps they do need to sleep and it's simply whenever the player is offline. A few metagame aspects are all explained within the confines of the game, so this could be another?

Perhaps while asleep, our dreams take us travelling, Oneironautics to RL. Consider the Dream argument. The idea that when dreaming we usually do not know we are dreaming. We are travelling to OR from new Eden. We must be cautious when trying to distinguish dreams (illusion) from reality. The mind can be tricked within a dream. The idea that the mind and body are considered fundamentally separate, the Mind Body Dichotomy!. When your own mind is the prison there are no walls.

But if youre asleep how can you be awake!?!?! but if youre awake how can you be asleep?!?!?

If the pod can take a flash of your mind and put it into a new body then maybe by some miracle of sci-fi sci(ence, see what i did there?) when you get tired it can take an image of your current mental state, Wipe your brain then apply said image but without applying the tired'ness of the iimage it took?

Or something along those lines

I think it would be particularly interesting for bots to be worked into the lore somehow relating to this.

All very good points! I believe pod pilots can sleep but the fact that they are connected to the ship they are piloting would mean they are fully aware on whats going on. Explained on TEA noval that pod pilots use tiny camera drones to look around the ship they piloting. During this, the pod pilot would be eyes closed not sleeping or asleep. Going offline in space prob could mean sleeping and crew/AI can take over ship duties. I like to think the ships i fly have no to some crewmen on board with little if not no knowledge that a pod pilot is onbourd. If i sleep i will offline and it will be on a comfi bed thank you very much!!
It would be a nightmare waking up in a new clone body ;P

There is alot of possible ideas behind the topic and no hard facts about it unless ive missed something.

<<< This guy sleeps whenever he wants, wherever he wants, and that is rarely, if ever, in his pod, whether he is in his ship, WH-space, or docked. He simply prefers his bed. He has also not jacked in for a long time, but that does not mean he's spend all that time sleeping.

AFK?

I assume the pod pilots can sleep while in pod. The ship may recognize this and cut the guy in the capsule off the controls ("You don't believe it, I had this dream where I nuked Gallente Prime... wait, why are you looking at me that way?") and even have some kind of an alarm function to wake up the pilot when some predetermined things happen. (Such as another ship appearing within short-range sensor range.)
