Ship crews either spend most of their journey in their escape pods, and are awoken with adrenaline only as needed?(Source: The Burning Life novel by CCP Abraxas.) or live aboard ship much like ship's crews today? (Source)

Pro-Heth Caldari jackboots are actually pretty rare, and most of them are Alts of Gallente mains who need strawmen.

Not every RPer is active on the IGS anyway.

Good point, but between LDIS, I-RED, and 4th alone I could come up with a decent list of State loyal but anti-Heth pilots.    None of them agree on anything else mind you.

Yep, thats exactly what I was talking about really. Thanks for the link.

There's an earlier and shorter post from the same thread about what it would take to get me playing Gallente. I'd love to have had the time to develop that, but I'm committed over in the Minmatar quarter and couldn't afford to lead a Gallente "thing", only to day trip.

Shae considers herself a Gallente patriot in that she loves what her nation wants to stand for; she likes the ideal. But she's convinced the Federation has utterly abandoned its own ideology and now uses it as a tablecloth to cover over the crusty stains of mindless self-indulgence and neo-fascism.

Which is why she gave up on them, left, and eventually joined an independent corporation aligned with the Guristas  :P

Or in other words: There are many different forms that patriotism can take, and not all of those lead to flag-waving on a hilltop as the sun rises.

Wow, that's hilarious. Not what you said, but that you said it at all.
