If you die outside of the capsule, you are dead.

The existence of soft cloning is currently a bit of a murky point in our PF. It was there, maybe, in places, but might not have been. It got put into a Mercury article I wrote back before I was hired, but eventually got removed... It's a bit debatable if it actually fits in our fiction or not.

If soft cloning isn't a thing, then that invalidates everything that has to do with Incarna and WiS, because a capsuleer would never want to leave their capsule, ever.


Your capsuleer wouldn't want to, you mean.

There's a few of us who leave our pods and yet deliberately don't use soft clones, whether they are canon or not.

Has no one ever read Alastair Reynolds books?? In the books, there is such a thing as alpha, beta, and gamma level copies of an individual which is, essentially, an infomorph. However, these infomorphs and the tech to make em at the time was really limited and not perfected and well...they done goofed and the bodies died and the infomorphs got corrupted.

But this was set in an era where ships couldn't even go FTL. Now, if we think about the massive amounts of tech we have at our fingertips, is it REALLY that far fetched to think that a copy of a human mind can be made and kept in stasis incase the main body up and dies? I mean granted, it's not the 100% same person but....more or less yeah? I just don't feel it's beyond the bounds of Eve and that it deserves retcon. If it's retcon'd, it's gonna kill a LOT of stories and backgrounds...
