My largest bases are actually in low security space. I need to move ships between systems quickly, and it is impossible in high security space. So I didn't say about high security space either.

Osyn was rather ignorant in her assumption, since I can destroy enemies of the State in Federation, Empire and Republic space, which interested persons could easily find out by browsing combat records. Osyn did what she usually do - posts a lie without even bothering to bring any proof. And because Osyn's slanders are groundless, I'll just discard them as void without bringing my own proof, leaving this responsibility on Osyn's shoulders and those, who will actually decide to verify the facts.

I wasn't referring to your overall combat record. I was referring to this cluster **** of a challange that was issued where both sides are basically saying "no you come over here to fight me". So before you try to make my comments into a blanket generalization, try stopping to consider that they may be specific to the matter at hand.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

I'm not seeing where there was a lie, you don't seem to wish to go to him, he doesn't seem to be jumping to get in a pod and fight you in unfamiliar territory. As for the hs base thing, I was mistaken. Consider it me going off of old info.

This thread is literally over an event that happened a month and a half ago.

Just let it die already..

Why does it bother some people that posts are still being made?
The IGS is for communication.
If the OP, in this case me, doesn't mind hosting extended discussions on many issues what is the problem?

Could it be we capsuleers are enamored with the idea of things dying?

With the exception of those who I have asked to not participate in my threads all willing to exchange ideas remain welcome.

Well-- if there were more ideas in play it might be more interesting, but, you and Ms. Kim snarling at each other is pretty boring, Mr. Ronin. That's mostly what this thread's about, now. You won't ignore her and she won't ignore you. ... And since it happens almost everywhere you both post, this thread isn't even working as quarantine.

In what's probably a pointless effort to change the subject:

It doesn't seem like capsuleers are so much enamored of death as inured to it. ... That's the physical deaths of human beings, not of things whose "lives" are abstractions. Maybe somewhere there's someone who arranges funerals for blown fuses, complete with offerings to speed their passage into the next world, though.

Anyhow, most people of whatever sort tend to wish that a story or conversation or whatever end, once it no longer serves a purpose, even if they've actually never killed anybody and would never want to.

Immortality for people seems like a questionable goal; immortality for something like a stale series of novels even more so.

I wouldn't say that they are specifically numb to killing, more so just wearing the blinders of easy money. I would fully agree with you if acknowledging the baseline crew aboard these ships was more commonly brought up. Where we stand now it's not that common.

I refer to the sacrifice made by baseline crews. The fact that I do so is often derided by other capsuleers who find greater challenge and sport in combat against capsuleer piloted ships. In both cases baseline crew members expire.

Perhaps focusing on the capsuleer pilot who will reanimate in a new clone can help our fellow capsuleers to ignore the baseline crews we kill/murder/execute every time we destroy an opposing vessel.

Because we can be such efficient engines of death and destruction the DED and Concord were quite clever to enact a system that gives wide margins for capsuleer versus capsuleer combat. I can burn through a hundred or more baseline piloted ships in a day but not nearly as many capsuleer piloted ships so it limits the destruction a capsuleer can inflict if they spend their time hunting down other capsuleers.

I am of the opinion that many of the things often thought of as protection measures are in fact in place to contain capsuleers first and foremost.

The crew compliments of each vessel we pilot should be more readily available. I would wager that most capsuleers don't think about how many crew are on board until they are talking with their accounting department in regard to their wages or bonuses.

I think more capsuleers would be mindful of the death we inflict if the crew size of vessels was listed in their descriptions.

I know of several families among the Hegirin that take on personnel placement contracts with Urban Management. One of their standard terms is that a log of crew manifests must be submitted at the top of each billing cycle, so that records remain accurate and available to Clans who wish to locate their kin. In less auspicious circumstances, it also makes transporting cadavers and personal effects far more efficient. Probably one of the easiest bureaucratic mechanisms to adapt from the Tribal to the Republic model, historically.

Some outfits (Matari or otherwise) will even include these manifests in their monthly balance memos, just to substantiate their bottom line to shareholders or Republic officials. I'm sure the practice is more widespread than that, but among capsuleer corporations the reluctance to publish any internal data comes with the territory.

Just one path to consider if your corporation publishes a regular statement, and your typical crew complements include a significant number of Republic citizens.

Only thing I could think of would be lowering bounty payoffs for them. I don't necessarily agree with this, but people only in it for isk would think twice before "wasting ammo." People, like Ronin, who do it more so out of duty won't be effected as much.

Lowering payouts for them would throw the economy into a freefall. The monthly reports we get state that bounty payout is the #1 ISK generator in the cluster right now for capsuleers. That's the inconvenient truth.

That's also including Sasha incursions right? Touching them would be a horrible idea, I'm more referring to angel, Blooder, ect.

No, it's excluding incursions. Take a look yourself. When you account for payments done to convert LP, Incursions come to about a tenth of what bounties provide in value.

Well, it should be mentioned that with proper procedures in place it is possible to cut down on the number of fatalities. Not having necessary crew aboard for short deployments, having crew waiting to be jettisoned in escape pods (especially for frigate combat where reloading and other things aren't likely in the short engagements generally seen) can help chances slightly. Don't forget that baseline ships also have more in terms of crew in general. I believe Elmund was working on completely automating his breeches, don't know how/if that is working out for him. The numbers of crew in ships was listed on a page at one point, I'm not sure if that page still exists however. I have to agree with you on having base crew sizes listed.

You could just have said never. And without isulting. Probably the insulting just characterizes your annoyance when your cowardice was uncovered, so you try to hide it this way. You can say what you want and as many as you want, we all here around (who can read combat records) already know that the God won't let you win neither propaganda battle on forums, nor battle in space. And since this battle will never happen because of your fear, you have already lost.
