Anyone notice CCP TomB went from a cool jove portrait to a caldari deteis portrait? Why the make over? I thought the jove portrait was the best!

Probably for the new graphics engine so that they only need to test portrait rendering for 4 races instead of 5, but that is just a guess.

Probably has something to do with decoupling the idea of modified jovians from the idea of game-developers. There is a Jovian expansion slated for the far future in which jovians become a playable race.

More likely becasue the Jove will become a playable race in a couple of years time.

I really hope this expansion never happens. The Jove are EVE's equivalent of aliens, and so much of the backstory has been about the Jove having insane technology. If Jovians were to be made a playable race, CCP would either have to make Jove ships not powerful (therefore undermining the whole Jove legend) or have them insanely unbalanced. Besides, there's not even a need for a 5th playable race. ------------

what if they were unable to train any skills? then you could use an alt-slot for them... obviously they would need to have some kind of different ability/level system for such a thing to work.
or maybe they will all be NPC's only and you could run missions for them and fight against them and stuff... maybe even train up skills to fly their ships, etc, but not have players actually be that race.
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

Sounds too much like that Jedi crap that SWG pulled back in the day. Make Jovians normal characters or just leave them out. Last thine EVE needs is unstoppable killing machines to join the Titans and MS's as EVE world enders.

How to icorporate Jove into EVE and not make them uber weapons off mass destruction ?
Backstory in points: ' 1. Jove go too far with their technology 2. Jove empire goes kaboom due to some genetic manipulation or similar self-destruct mechanism (millions killed etc.) 3. And... because of that, gate locks fall apart 4. They no longer are superior, they are trying to survive now. 5. And they are no loger super humans... the thing that caused their holocaust, made them... well.... normal ' End of backstory
Simple
Gives lots of opportunities for new professions as well, or expansion of current professions.
Of course, I made that up in 5 mins, but could be quite viable.

You're assuming Jove PCs will have access to the Jove Directorate and it's mighty technological mightyness.
Jovian exiles might make an interesting character concept. ----- Visible Implants - good for so many occasions |

ehh--- the reason they are dying is because they lost the WILL to life.. not because their tech or theyre weaponry is not strong enough.
if they HAVE to be implemented, let it be player charecter over X SP. that can convert there charector by gen manipulation into a jovian, thereby losing a ton of sp(lets say 50mill sp to convert it to a jove and losing 40mill sp by doing so. then beeing able to use some new skills, get other attributes etc.)
but else, i hate the idea of jovian beeing playuer chars

It's most likely that the modified jovians will die out due to the jovian disease and the unmodified ones will be the playable race.

Which is the reason they've said the current Jovian ships in the DB won't ever be in the game. (Eidolon, Phantom, Wraith, etc).
But I still want the old TomB and John Proctor back!

If you look at the jove ships info like the eidolon, you will find that it is an 8 hi 8 mid and 8 low. but the ship has no bonuses at all. no 10% bonus to laser damage, no optimal range, no extra drone damage. the same goes for all the jove ships, they don't have bonuses. Flying their ships would be just pure skill especially in pvp.

Or .. let Joves be our aliens. Let them go AWOL and turn against us and rapetrain us! That would be factional warfare we need. Defend empire and if you don't you will face Jove Empire and being in slavery walking in station serving drinks to new masterlords.. Niiiiiiiiiiice! Hook me up!

Even easier:
Young Joves get tired of living in Jove space, decide that they need to spend some time out chasing some pretty little gallente dancing girls.
Jovian law forbids taking advanced technology out to non-Jovian space.
Jovians are playable but stuck with other peoples ships! N00bs start with 1mil support skills and racial frig 1 in all races.
Problem solved :P

Then what's the point of being jovian? it's like a new bloodline, actually exactly like a new bloodline.

What is the point of being Jovian, other then from a RP perspective?
If they release the Jovian skills anyone could train for them anyways.
