| − | A Capsuleer is a human who is capable of establishing a neural interface with a [[capsule|hydrostatic capsule]] by means of neural [[implants]]. The [[Capsule|capsule]] is the command and control system within ship's and allows the Capsuleer to command spaceships with great efficiency, controlling many systems systems as if they were their own limbs it almost eliminates the human error factor and [[New Eden crew guidelines|greatly reduces the crew size necessary]] for the operation of a ship.

| − | ==Definition==
| + | |
| − | Capsuleers are humans who received the necessary training and are surgically enhanced with [[Implants|implants]], which allows them to establish a neural link with a spaceship's digital systems. Capsuleer candidates require certain natural apptitude to undergo the training, without which anybody tries to control a spaceship via neural interfacing risks to fall into a comatose state referred as "Mind-lock"[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Jovian_Wetgrave].

| − | ===Inside the [[Capsule|capsule]]===
| + | |
| − | In order to control a spaceship, a capsuleer climbs into the liquid chamber of a hydrostatic [[capsule]], which is then filled with [[ectoplasm|ectoplasmic]] liquids and the capsuleer floats inside this egg-like liquid chamber. This serves two purposes:
| + | |
| − | * the feeling of weightlessness and lack of physical contact relaxes the body and allows for a more effective neural link.
| + | |
| − | * the liquid functions as a cushion both in artificial gravity and zero gravity conditions, prevents external stimuli (such as impacts) from disturbing the capsuleer.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | While inside the hydrostatic [[Capsule|capsule]], the capsuleer is connected to his [[Capsule|capsule]]'s digital systems through the neural [[Implants|implants]] located on the back of his/her head and spine. A helmet covers capsuleer's head, [[camera drones]] supply visual feedback to the helmet's visor. Breathing tubes provide fresh oxygen and [[ectoplasm|ectoplasmic]] liquid keeps the body clean.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Since [[YC]] 104, all hydrostatic capsules are fitted with [[Transneural Burning Scanner|transneural burning scanners]], which is a crucial component for successful [[cloning]] of the capsuleer in case of [[Hull|hull]]-breach. Thanks to the advances in the [[Cloning|cloning]] technology, even if the [[Capsule|capsule]] is destroyed, the capsuleer's clone can be revived, retaining almost all the memories up until the moment of death.

| − | ==Social==
| + | |
| − | Capsuleers are typically considered strange and regarded with mixture of awe and hatred and often considered amoral by general populace.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some [[Station|station]] and [[Planet|planet]] dwellers refer to capsuleers as "eggers" [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Jita_4-4_%28Chronicle%29](''slang'', because of the egg-like shape pf their pods) . Conversly Capsuleer refer to mundane human beings as [[Baseliners]].
