How many of you noticed this IGS thread by those lovely Gutter Press folks?

It's a reasonable question though.

I have to admit I've always figured that any kids we have would have to be tubed to avoid being killed along with the body carrying them, or contaminated by radiation & the like.

I think there's a devpost about this on the eve-fiction forum somewhere. Something about how the clones are fully functional if the capsuleer wants them to be.

[Samira Kernher]

CCP has said that clones are fully functional.

As far as children go... well, don't get podded in those 9 months. If you can't do that, then better to use a surrogate/tube.

This, pretty much. Which is why you see a lot of characters suddenly go "Oh, by the way, I've been pregnant the last 8 months. Time for a month of storyline!"

[V. Gesakaarin]

Not sure what could prevent a capsuleer theoretically buying a whole lot of gestation tubes and becoming a brood mother/father after a few months.

Your very own baby factories! \o/

The first such wave will arrive in ~8 years or so, if any of the early capsuleers did this back in YC 105, yes ?

Imagine if Sansha's Nation did it? Why you'd have an entire generation of indoctrinated people ready and willing to fight for the vision of a new future for humanity or something.

[Saede Riordan]

might be a good way to explain having an army of alts.

[Morwen Lagann]

Given the history of some people not understanding the amount of time involved in raising a child, I suspect it'll be a fair bit sooner than that. :V

[Katrina Oniseki]

I know Mitara Newelle avoided being podded for 9 months, and Erys Charantes avoided being podded for 9 months as well. Granted, Erys doesn't do much PvP at all so it was a bit easier.

I think Mitara went through the full 9 months without getting podded, for both of the kids and while flying in the war zone. Now that is hard core.

Sorry, I meant 9 months, yes. Both Mitara and Erys avoided being podded for 9 full months.

[Lyn Farel]

I can already picture the scene on the warzone "OMG darling I got labor contraction" then the ship zigzaging like a drunken bumblebee all around the military plex, and then "OMG my waters broke !" diluting into the capsule goo and making the ship going even more erratic and evading all enemy fire.

Then of course the baby being a Pure Exile addict...

What ?

As far as I was concerned, I thought this was the actual explanation for how Sansha spontaneously crewed the massive fleets seen in the Incursion live events? Considering he was loosing more crew in some of those events than he was abducting, he had to have been (and still has to be) getting tremendous numbers of crew from some source.
