So here it is i was sat up thinking about this game and i realised after reading the time line that its far far into the future, yet there are no aliens in the game at all.
So i was thinking maybe it is time to add some in, i was thinking about perhaps some species that is hostile and mounts incursions. Or possibly a region discovered through a wormhole of ancient gate of some kind.
Now for ships and weapons i was thinking about what is not currently covered in the game i mean you got guns and lasers even missiles so perhaps a organic race. As for if they are playable or not i do not mind if they are or are not would just be a cool event to see first contact with a alien species.
anyway thats all i got for now.
P.S sorry if this come up before i run a search for alien and nothing showed |

Why?
We have 5 major factions... 4 of which are playable... each their own distinct dramas and political issues... and a multitude of sub-factions that haven't been completely fleshed out.
Also... I feel that adding "aliens" would distract from the distinctly "human story" in EVE.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Yeah i can see what your saying about there being a lot of factions and such already, i am just thinking it would give the dev's something to aim for in a long run as a cool event. I mean they could do something like for the introduction of the species play them themselves and launch a invasion into a area for example.
Also a new species in the game could also open up a load more option for WH exploration and in general would add things to the game. As for the distracting from humanity side of the game if they were non playable it would just be a fun bunch of rats and a tool for devs to use for events. |

The Eve universe has a rich and well planned/thought through lore, precipitated by CCP. Three books (if only two good ones), and plenty of extra. CCP aren't suddenly going to "add" allies into it.
Besides, when you say aliens, I presume you mean beings of equal power and intelligence to humans. If not, then there are already alien creatures, the slaver hounds are certainly not just dogs, and they even have (if subtle and unassuming) in game representation. In the fiction there is also plenty of mention of other such alien creatures.

The devs already have PLENTY to aim for, they dont need any extra fluff. They have a massive backlog of things they want to get done, and I doubt adding a whole new alien race is part of it. As for WH exploration, the sleepers are there, and we may well be getting a method of exploring sleeper stations, sleepers may not strictly speaking be aliens, but they're really not that close to human either. For those of you who don't know, i'm not referring to the sleeper drones most WH occupants have to deal with on a daily basis. |

I assume that you believe that aliens should look green/pale/gray with big bulgy eyes...? Aliens are all over New Eden. If you were born on Caldari Prime, then Amarrians, Minmatar, Gallente, Sansha Nation, Blood Raiders, Sleepers, and Drones would all be considered aliens...
Many may share origin, but how do we know that the aliens in real life don't look like us too... wooooooh :tinfoilhat:

One of the positives about the Eve background fiction is that it isn't Generic Humanity Discovers Aliens Cliche #827.

I like that EVE has so much conflict sans aliens. I'm against it... more or less.
Note: There are aliens in EVE, but not sentient ones. |

You already have aliens, they're called the Jove, and if you haven't noticed, rogue drones are pretty friggin alien.

You are an alien, go ahead and admit it. Either a Body Snatcher or a The Thing.  |

Maybe all the aliens lived far far in the past? Unless of course aliens only exist in the future.

Sleepers are descended from humanity. I'm sorry bud but EVE sorta stands out in the sci-fi world because it doesn't have aliens, and we kinda like that. |
