Source also confirms the existence of backups. It's soft clones (scanning slowly to not destroy the brain in the process) that is up in the air.

Can I get a page number for that?

I haven't read cover to cover yet so I must have missed that if it's there.
I don't remember seeing that in the bit on cloning tech and the capsule.

I can't remember where I read it (I think Empyrean Age), but I remember reading about how the cloning system works, when a capsuleer is podded. When it detects a breach in the pod, it flashes an image of the capsuleer's brain and transmits it through the stargates (basically routers), eventually reaching the medical bay where your clone is, to update the clone up to the moment where he died.

Which raises an interesting question; Since you don't have a system detecting when you're dead, what happens, lore-wise, if a capsuleer dies in station?



If you read the chronicle regarding the battle of Luminaire, there was an implication that capsuleers get some of that DUST implant thing going too.

Ooooh I've always wanted to join in a lore discussion...

IIRC there was a bit in the empyrean novel when the Thanatos crashes into the Ishukone (?) / Caldari station and the CEO of the station's corp refuses to evacuate - there's a bit where his sister is begging him to leave because all of his clones are in the station and he won't survive. There must be some way of transferring consciousness without pod tech. Let's not forget the capsuleers all have implants that bind their minds to the ships when they're in the pod. Or to valkyrie/dust interfaces. Neither dust mercs nor valkyrie pilots use pods yet they all transfer consciousness upon death.
I think the machine that scans the brain and sends the signal out is inside the body of the capsuleer's clone. Either that or it's an extension to be used when not in a pod. The lethal injection tech (used before the brain snapshot) would have to be incorporated too though i'm not sure how that would work if cause of death is severe head trauma. But I never understood that about pods either...
