If I was still playing when it finally becomes possible to enter Jovian space (the coolest race in EVE with the best backstory that CCP never let us touch, typical) I think I would listen to this song as I clicked my submarine into Directorate space for the first time. |

The Jove are one of many things that for whatever reason CCP continually denies us, and not surprisingly it's one of the things that might have actually made this internet submarine game all the more fun and interesting.
I guess it can't be helped that each EVE race is a walking cliche, but at least the Jove are a cool one, which is probably why they kept them while giving us the space Vatican, french Star Trek, space Maori, and the Weyland-Utani race. |

No fun, that. The Jovians are all but dead and their space should technically be full of ruins with lots of exotic technology (new exciting items that are not deployables that came out of nowhere) that when EVE submarine captains finally reach should be able to reverse engineer and create T3 items that while very powerful won't be as powerful as the actual Jove technology because we're not super advanced EVE Greys like they are. |

You don't get it, do you? If Jove space is reachable, then the players' ships must be buffed to match the Jove, which makes them game-breakingly OP everywhere else. I think it's you that doesn't seem to understand the Jove and their technology can be released into the wild without creating imbalances by releasing it as weaker "reverse engineered" technology. Think of it along the lines of T3 cruisers and Sleeper tech, it's not like people kill Sleepers and strap their weapons directly to their submarine hulls, instead the technology is taken, reverse engineered, and a new weaker technology results. Jove tech could be treated the same way, and in the process CCP could also release a new fifth race, a true capsuleer race, not bound to any factional empire, that is a cloned hybrid of typical New Eden humanoid combined with elements of the Jove genome, in effect giving us a "Jove race" without actually stepping on or rewriting Jove lore, which would even work alongside CCP's current vision of moving capsuleers away from primary faction allegiances and becoming their own faction equal to superior in power.
But I've said enough, EVE is a boring game with wasted potential, CCP's choices consistently annoy me, and if they want my ideas on how to make EVE suck less they can pay me for it.

No... I don't want to be the CEO of a software developer who releases one new game a decade, and somehow thought it was a good idea to release a first person shooter on a platform overly saturated with first person shooters, and tie it into a game where the majority of the people who play that game can't even play the first person shooter.
And for the record I've been a paying subscriber since Tyrannis, it's just I don't believe in alts and I don't get off on preying on others so I never really got far in "Everyone vs Everyone". |

It's ok, I'll hang back and wait for World of Darkness to come out in what 2020?
EVE was CCP's 2000s game, Dust 514 was their game for the 2010s... so yea World of Darkness for the 2020s. |
