Jovian disease is supposed to come from 'extensive genemodding'. It's obviously not the same, yet awfully close and may be a first step in that very direction. But yes, it's an opinion regarding the hypothetical cost of immortality, highlighting the possibility of physical long term effects not yet witnessed.

Lore is often squeezed and massaged as a secondary to the game/$$/bottom line.

If it makes sense for the direction of the company there will be retcon to make it work.  Remember only about .1% of the playerbase gives a shit about any of this.


I think it's all a bit overpowered mary sue for my tastes, and I'm not sure what the difference between a 'capsuleer' and a fighter pilot clone is?  I think it's lazy storytelling, the IP is huge and expansive and there's plenty of stories (and games) to tell featuring regular mortal people fighting and dying in New Eden.

Anyhow, I think CCP is more out to milk those .1% (and everyone else ofc) for some extra money by selling them books and measuring it's success by sales figures, rather than reactions to it.
