Right I'm not a lore/RPer guy. But the pod is a bit confusing. On one hand we're told you sit in the pod and control the ship...on the other CCP puts out videos giving the impression that were not...The community sais that Ships have multiple crew members, =\ i have no idea.

IIRC...

- all ships have crews
- pod pilots simply reduce the necessary crew by literally "becoming" the ship (via a neural uplink in the "pod" itself).
- in "becoming" the ship the pod pilot can directly control various ship systems.
- with direct control to all ship systems the need for "officers" or a command crew is redundant... leaving only maintenance, damage control, and oversight people to keep things running smoothly.
- life is cheap in New Eden. No one sheds a tear if a battleship full of 6314 crew is wiped out.

The crew are not immortal.

...which would inevitably lead to a situation developing where the ship captains wouldn't care, and would take hyper-extreme levels of risk involving the rest of the crew, not caring about the consequences, as death would mean nothing to the pilot-captain.

Frankly, I wouldn't board such a ship. I'd fear the captain might just throw my life away! Twisted

there are crews.
