Capsuleer

A capsuleer is a term used in the video game Eve Online to refer to a character who has chosen to pilot one of several categories of spacecraft known as "capsules." The term was first used in-game to refer to players who piloted the game's initial form of spacecraft, but has since been expanded to encompass all players who pilot various types of capsules.

Capsuleers in Eve Online can be divided into several categories based on the type of capsule they pilot. These include pilots of the pods, ships, and vessels known as capital ships. Pod pilots are considered to be a separate class of capsuleer and are focused on combat and fleet operations, while ship and vessel pilots are often engaged in trade, exploration, and other forms of gameplay.

Capsuleers in Eve Online have a range of skills and attributes that determine their abilities and performance in the game. These skills and attributes are acquired through experience and training, which can be achieved through a variety of methods including completing missions, participating in player vs player (PvP) combat, and engaging in other forms of gameplay.

The term capsuleer has also been adopted by some members of the Eve Online community to refer to players who specialize in specific types of space-faring activities. For example, aWiki: 'Capsuleer"00 capsuleer' refers to a player who specializes in Exploration, while a "PC" or "Pirate Capsuleer" refers to a player who specializes in piracy and other forms of high-level mercenary activity.
