not sure if this is the right area for this post but here goes.
I was thinking, why not have a new faction, something akin to the BORG from ST:NG.
Kinda deathstar'ish, something that uses 'fighter' / 'long range ECM' drones.
It goes from system to system at a slow rate assimliating Bases in 0.0 to 0.4 systems.
Maybe even more "replicatorish" from Stargate SG1.. i dunno, just figured something
that inspires DOOM and GLOOM, for pirate and anti-pirates alike... after taking significant damage, it leaves, hibernates and randomly returns for more meyhem and destruction. when it appears, agents give large rewards for 'parts' for scientific research.. or players can use rare parts for new Tech 2 upgrades, or named parts.. i dunno..
What do you guys think?

Sounds like The Blight in Outpost 2, except you never actually faught back against it EVERY single mission was just "build this stuff, force your colonists to make babies then run away". Horrible horrible single player, but oh so fun multiplayer =D
TBH I think it'd be more of a "OMG LOOT!!!1" situation than anything else, I'd rather see working factional warfare and related missions/rewards.

bad idea, people WILL find a way to break the "random-spawning" and then it'll be camping-hell. Better not do it..

OUTPOST 2 RULED. I loved that game! Care to do an IP match with me some time? >=D
But on-topic: I wouldn't mind having a super villain in EVE. Would take the light off the Amarr empire for a while.

Bah it's been so long, I'd have to look for the CD or an ISO I can download. I still remember the basic tech trees though =P
I think what made the multiplayer so great was the random mine distribution (do I settle for a 2-bar common or sacrifice another 2 or 3 minutes to try and find a 3-bar?), the fast pace in the first 20 minutes (where the first 5 minutes could easily determine the outcome of the fight and every second counted), the combination of research and building prereqs for the units and the added strategy of things like EMP missiles, Spiders, Supernova's, Stickyfoam and tube connections between buildings. Without a doubt the most fun I've had in a multiplayer RTS. The 3 or 4 hour 3 on 3 matches were AMAZING  (at least when people didn't get dropped...)

Exactly. Easily the best RTS I've ever played. Plus if you left colony management turned on it even became harder =P
I love fighting against the computer too with teammates and then slaughtering each other after the compy was dead.

The only way this would be cool is if CCP implemented these replicating things literally as autonomous agent programs that consumed asteroids and ships and spawned copies of themselves, and then CCP lost control of those agent programs due to some record keeping error, and then the only way to stop them short of a catastrophic emergency patch was for every player to hunt them all down and kill them off. A software bug fixed by brute force.

Sounds like your talking about rouge drones, which we already have. And I think they are planned to be the belt NPCs in atleast one of the new regions being opend in Kali.

Why not just introduce another alien race as old as the jove but totaly evil,
they could raid in to empire randomly and even play the empires against each other Jove = Vorlon / New race = Shadows sounds like a way to kick off factional warfare.

Wouldn't that take away from the PVP aspect though? Instead of competing with and killing your fellow players, you're cooperating to defeat the Evil Space Menace.

Jove = Evil villian. Think about it, CCP introduces factional warfare with Kali and gets all of us stirred up against each other. Then the next big expansion (much later on) the jove invade and if we don't work together then we'll be effectively overrun by them. Sure, there are all sorts of wrinkles to iron out with such an idea, but why wouldn't it work.

Are you a COMPLETE forum *snip* or what?
Are you gunning for some kind of really sad 'biggest-forum-poster-ever' award? Everywhere topic I look at, you're there. WHY?
There is life out there you know... outside EVE and that. Why don't you give the computer a rest for a few days and try and find it, jeez!
No offence, but I don't want to read your opinion on every post I read.
And I mean this with the greatest respect, whoever you are.
