I hope you all understand that not all of us capsuleers are evil. Yes I kill mortals when my agent tells me to. But as far as I know, none are innocent, nor do they carry civilians. Your interviews were biased as well! It isn’t hard to get even one or two communiques with a pod pilot, all you have to do is look outside! The reasons for becoming a capsuleer varies from pilot to pilot, some are mostly innocent, some are just looking to fight, typically other podders. I’ll have you know that the only reason I’m a capsuleer is because I spent MONTHS looking for my parents, who disappeared in one of those first incursion…invasion…things….by the Sansha. Couldn’t go any farther with that, so I had to go higher. You don’t know me, nor do you seem to know about the life of a pod pilot, do not judge all capsuleers based on the words of a few people from a crowd. And we aren’t immortal, really. I have heard of cases where the cloning procedure, after a capsuleer dies somehow, goes wrong. The pilot may wake up not know who or where they are, disfigured (like that Slaver clone), or worse, they don’t wake up at all.
Also, Tuckoss is, from what I can tell, a man with good intentions, and I’m hoping his library thing “Space One” or whatever, is a success.
Otherwise, it was a fairly good wave, glad you could get it out. Look forward to the next one!
As a Caspuleer myself, I can honestly state, ” yes, we’re pretty much all evil “
No, we aren’t. You can speak for each individual capsuleer.
I kill my enemy and the crew of the enemy, they are all militants and none are innocent. I don’t attack civilian freighters: most capsuleers don’t. In fact, the overwhelming majority of pod pilots reside in high security space and are relatively tame agent contract runners to expel pirates, or industrialists. You are only addressing a very small minority of ‘insane’ capsuleers. They are dogs, and need to be put down.
You’re talking about exterminating all of nullsec.
I’m capsuleer too. My proffesion is mostly mining, industry, trade and R&D. Sure I’ve blasted some of pirates and terrorist ships in my life, some in self defense, some from security reasons (I can’t tell too mutch details, lot of this information is confidential). Once I even saved couple of planets (and their populace) from planed terroist virial outbreakes in The Forge region. Can’t say too mutch about origin of the group from political reasons. So don’t dare to call me evil!
You want to know when I did most evil? You really do? My familiy owes small PMC company, so I basically grew up with a gun. Long before I’ve been certified from CONCORD to be one of capsuleers I decided to “do good”, and posing as tourist I arrived to Caldari Prime. There I contacted one of guerilla organizations. I shared all my “small unit tactics” knowledge, trained some folks, and finally joined them in field of combat. This is most dark gap in my life, one of these that change man forever. Only mud, death, collateral damage, hiding for weeks in forest hills, starving and in pain from wounds – Forget fancy weapons and Aegis Armors, we didn’t have any of this, sadly Gallente seemed to have them even too mutch… Accidents happend taking civilian casualties both Caldari and Gallente… both I am not proud of. We survived only thanks to Caldari capsuleers who smuggled food, medicine, weapons and ammo. Some even managed o evacuate wouned, take dead to their families… I left this damned planet thanks to one of them.
Sure people can be Evil, people can be good, but people are just people, nothing else matters. I strongly belive all of us… all of humanity is both on the same time.
As for the crews of starships… they do what they are paid for. Nobody forces them to that proffesion, and they have safety pods in case critical hull breach…

Amusing show. keep up the good work. it’s nice to hear some bias against capsuleers, it’s definatly refreshing. Best of luck to Mielikki getting out of there!
This is great stuff. I really appreciate all the work put into this broadcast and I really hope you all keep it up!
I as a Capsuleer have never really spent much time working for the agents. I will say I have spent a lot of time turning back the massed abductions from Mr. Kuiveki and his brainwashed half people. I also have, regrettably killed many people as a byproduct of the combat I do with other capsuleers. In regards to dismissing Concord DED patrols, space should not be safe, and any dedicated group, be it capsuleer or otherwise will in fact find a way to bypass them. I appreciate your report, and the fact that you bring an eye on topics other than that of pod pilots. It would be mice if you could also give us a voice in your broadcast as well.
This so called “news” broadcast is nothing but thinly veiled propaganda designed to discredit the entire capsuleer profession. It is obviously a direct product of the numerous obsolete crew-based labor Unions which are seeking to protect their crumbing powerbase at any cost.
While I can certainly believe that the savage Minmatar capsuleers could behave in such a manner described in the last transmission, we noble Amarrian pod pilots would never conduct ourselves so dishonorably. We would never attack civilians, only duly designated criminals and heretics!
Frankly, I cannot understand why CONCORD has failed to track down and terminate this illegal transmission. You are tampering with and polluting the vital fluid router networks with this trash. Therefore, I believe that anyone associated with this production should all be considered duly designated criminals and treated thusly.

Brilliant work! Whether the listener’s politics align with the content of your broadcasts or not, the production values are top-shelf, and the man-on-the-street perspective certainly fills a void in typical capsuleer circles.
Well done, T4N, well done!
