There was a great tragedy in Gallentian high sec today as 70 honourable men and women lost their lives.
The unavoidable tragedy happened aboard my ship today at about 21:20.
As my crew gathered in the assembly hall for socializing during some down time the airlocks suddenly had a fault and flew open. This happened so suddenly that none of my crew had a chance to escape.
I regret to inform the friend and family of ny heroic crew of such a catastrophic tragedy.
A memorial service will be held in their honour.

perhaps stitch.

but let us examine the theory here.

all of the airlocks gave way simultaneously. all of the pressure doors made to withstand such catastrophic failure also failed to work

these are both electrical systems, that in a standard vessel would be controlled by an AI. in a capsuleer vessel they are controlled by the capsuleer.

this means that ms gallente here is at best guilty of corporate manslaughter and has publicly admitted it.

seems foolish to me.

Not indicative of corporate policy unless otherwise stated.

Looks more like yet another in a long string of "look at me I'm so edgy and evil and dark, I spaced my own crew! why, you ask? Because I'm CURAAAZZEEEE" followed by a string of emoticons and acronyms denoting wacky amusement, except that this one's wrapped up in a microscopically thin veneer of "oh, it was all a terrible accident, those poor people".

Like I said. Shun her.

If all the town idiots in all the towns across all the cluster got together and formed their own town of idiots... she would be that town's local idiot.

Katrina, Sticher

You are showing very poor etiquette. Seventy men and women lost their lives today due to a technical malfunction. The fact that you are making this about anything other than the victims is the biggest tragedy here. Please learn to be kind to your fellow man.

As for the incident.
The airlocks to the cargo bays failed catastrophically in the Mackinaw today. These airlocks were maintained by Jafar Joazim and Caldafraz Giian, two superb engineers who's lives were cut short by an error that could have been easily averted if only they had been at their post instead of attending a social affair. The airlocks were not under the control of the capsuleer, just to clarify any misconceptions that may be held by the general public. The airlocks are controlled by the crew and only the crew. While I am sad to see my accomplished crew pass, I am excited to see the new crew come on board.

In conclusion,
Today's tragedy should be taking as a warning to all crewmen of all ships to stay on the ready and be able to correct problems and errors that may occur at a moment's notice.

Thank you,
Cynthia Gallente

Point 1: Why should we care? People die, that's a fact.

Point 2: they died because of your negligence to control your own ship systems, so stop whining about it.

Point 3: you should tell your ship designers not to put the assembly hall near an airlock.

Point 4: in case of doubt, return to point 1.

Memory loss is no excuse or justification for such unmitigated acts of evil. I surely hope that there will be a general censure of this particular pilot for this craven act.

It is indeed tragic that those engaged in providing the material needs of the many died in such a way. I am sure your organization has generous family support provisions.

Msr. Sepherim however makes an excellent point. Perhaps the sale of the defective ship for the benefit of those families would be appropriate gesture as well.

Forgive me I didn't see Ma'dame Scherezad's message until after my transmission.

It would seem... another solution now is required.

Heh, bet you'd call me a monster for self destructing hundreds of fully crewed Abbadons for insurance money, made around 3M per hull. I ended up setting up a production chain with my Allies of Little Trouble (ALT's). They sat in Dominix class vessels and melted the hull in seconds, then salvaged the wreck. Before they had finished salvaging, I was getting another warped to the position.

Never thought to tell the crews the plan... meh, I suppose they had life insurance or something for their clones.

Crew have clones right?

Self destruct sequences take two minutes to process precisely to give your crew enough time to abandon ship. I highly doubt many (if any) stayed on board for the fireworks, given the ample time to reach an escape pod.

EDIT: Oh, and unfit ships require only a skeleton crew. So, there would be no shortage of escape pods.

Nah, only the first few I self destructed. The rest had the time it takes for 5 Dominix with Neutron Blasters at optimal range with T2 heavy drones to melt an Abbaddon with no fitting.

It was at least 10 seconds, lock on included.

I hear escape protocols are very efficient these days.
