Would you rather be able to sleep more, or sleep less and have more time for other activities?

I would prefer to not sleep at all, and just keep shooting fascists and occupants until there will be no gallente on Caldari Prime.

Largest amount of isk you spent on a fully fit ship?

~800m for a fitted C5 Rattlesnake.

I was extremely stubborn when me and my parents visited planets. I would want to explore the colonies and wilderness, when we had to keep a tight schedule to make the next supply drop for the next colony.

if you've ever been dead broke, what was your life like for that period of time? what did you have to do in order to get some amount of wealth, if you wish to disclose that.

Carpe Diem. Get insurance and fly feckless.

Maintenance/custodial duties on mining barges/exhumers before I enrolled in the RMS. It was..... Lovely. The last one I worked for I ended up working for for a few years and bankrolled my education.

Worst place you've ever visited as a capsuleer?

JIta 4-4. Never had been there, never want to go back. I'll send somebody else to deal with it for me.

A cliche: but you favorite type of 'exotic' animal? For the sake of not hearing the same thing over and over, I'm gonna exclude all those Amarr who want to rave about their drooling slaver hounds. No bias, but let's hear something different from somebody different.

Oh! I can do this one.

The yuulio!

I mean, there are a lot of super exciting creatures from around the Pool, but there's something so terribly engrossing about a (sort of!) invisible fish that caused a small handful of minor diplomatic catastrophes, isn't there? [1]

In the spirit of participation and collaboration, I'll mould some advice a friend liked to give into a question. Do you follow your bliss, and why (not)?

[1] I suppose I'm Amarr, speaking strictly, but I kept the slaver hounds--drooling or otherwise--out of proceedings, so that surely counts for something!.

I do. It's not always easy, and my corporation does take me away quite a bit.
As to the why....because they are totally worth it.

Accept capsuleer implants.

Have you ever walked the decks of your own ships?

Of course, all the time. Usually when docked.

Have you ever considered testing your most loyal employees for capsule compatibility and sponsoring them as alts if it's positive?

But of course! How else would I be able to retrofit my drone crew automatization rigging if I didn't get my hands dirty? My Komodo Mk. IV Gila-class ship is currently equipped with a third gen VI compatible drone OS!

With the advent of Alpha Cloning tech, compatibility isn't even an issue! But it gets hard to convince my employees since they are overly attached to this "mortality" thing. Personally I think that 's rubbish and that capsuleer transhumanism is the shizzle!

Favorite mining ship?

The Venture. Opponents tend to over-engage them even if they've sussed out your Venture fleet is packing more heat than mining lasers. Also, while I'm adamant against fitting warp core stabilizers on combat ships, I have to grant that the built-in stabilization doesn't impede its capabilities very much, and makes for interesting wolfpack tactics.

What's that one unconventional idea for a corporation that's been simmering in the back of your mind for ages, the one you'd execute on if only you had more time, more ISK, more hands, and more mental fortitude for dealing with the constant hassle of capsuleer cat-herding?

A scrap-metal dealer corporation. Does that count?

Planetside vacation or space vacation?

Funny you ask that one... for reasons. "Watch this space," as they say, tapping the side of their noses all the while...

Hustle and bustle of a city, or the peace and quiet of a rural area?

I like both in all honesty.
Rural is more of a retreat when I need to 'get away' as it were.

Space vacation. Planets are messed up. Standing out there, the only thing keeping you from the vacuum of space is that the rock you're on is so fat that it's convinced a whole bunch of air to try to crush you... s'just freaky. Gimme bulkheads.

If you had to join one of the massive baseliner pitate groups in New Eden, which would it be and why?

Pl, i have way too much respect for them, know a couple people there and though they demand you know about them before hand, I could learn a ton about flying cap ships there.

'Old Age'. I figure when I hit about 3 months old or so, I'll just fall apart because the techs calibrated the clone for my 'die every 26 days' average.

And PL aren't baseliners.

Favorite non-combat recreational chemical compound?

Coffee. Especially Matar Gold and Archipelago Mix. Drip, Ibrik-brew and espresso.

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