First off, I think most of those are trademarked. Second, why?

I'm bored of fighting hu-man. Need advanced T4 and cross-species sex.

You want intra-species sex? You find that attractive?

Just unsub, for the sake of good God the Lord, and leave us for something like Star Trek Online or Star Wars:TOR.

That's the worst, and most repulsive thing added to these two science fiction franchises.

No intelligent aliens species please. EVE is all about various human races and their shananigans. Even the rogue drones and sleeper drones are just extensions of that. There are also very alien type societies already even among the human factions, but unsurpisingly it doesn't really come accross well, since all we see are their spaceships and the lore is so separated from the gameplay that it's almost imposible to know without using out of game resources. Point being a new alien race wouldn't actually bring anything of real value to the game, that you can't achieve by creating a new human faction/race. It could change the nature of the game for the worse though, since it can easily turn things to us vs them when it's supposed to be a morally questionable cesspool where humans screw over each other and struggle for dominance.

This is a sandbox. If you want a tale, you have rp corporations out there, and make your own story. Many people like this game just because it's a sandbox, me included, and weill unsub if themepark elements became very present, let's say more than epic arcs today which are long repeating quests.

Bringing us more together is a bad idea. If Gallente and Caldari, and too Minmatar and Amarr were killing themselves for generations, adding great threat to unite them all just reeks of "I don't know how to make a better story", because conflict between Empires is even better backdrop for the storytelling.

And the game is about human conflict, and personal conflict in humans itself. Aliens would water it down severely. Too, conflict is focused on player corporations, and Empires through FW, not humans versus aliens.

It's not even Sansha vs. everybody else, nor it had been, because you can do missions for Sansha and gain rep and LP from them. You wan't to make a game of vast personal choice to something so simple as good guys vs. the bad guys. Except in reality is seldom completely clear what is black and what is white.

I don't mean bringing players close together, I just say that to the NPC empires. Maybe you are right, sand box is the best aspect of this game, but adding aliens in it won't be that bad, thus it might actually attract more new players to this game. I love the EVE background story and tales. You missed the point. I'm just saying to feature intelligent alien, not human versus aliens. The aliens could be on our side. Imagine new hairy big foot as member of the Caldari state, horned ram man praying along side with the Amarr, and a goat footed skinny dude drinking quafe with a human fellow.

And I had in mind NPC empires too. You know, bring an unknown, dire threat to unite those that killed themselves for centuries... You know, we had such threats in every WoW expansion so far. How is copying mediocre WoW story of a badass villain that will destroy everything if not stopped that they use for every expansion good storytelling?

I was looking for amusing comments.. You guys are too serious. I can understand the why without intelligent aliens is a good thing, but for the future expansion, adding new contents into the game like new races and gameplays is always a good topic to discuss of. Fine to me if you're into the whole "human is the only intelligent lifeform" belief, but I rather think more logically. This might not apply to the many of you, but I think it is more logical to have other native intelligent life in new eden. I'm just giving out my suggestion that's all. I was actually looking forward on amusing comments, not the dead fishes I've been receiving.

You want intra-species sex? You find that attractive?

Yes, I do. And I'm almost sure you do as well. Unless of course you meant "inter-species."

We need god damn aliens (intelligent).
Aliens like:

1.)Poleepkwa -like
Sexy tentacles
3.)Arachnids -like
Sexy armor
4.)Protoss -like
Sexy voice
5.)Decepticon -like
Sexy weapons
6.)Wookiee -like
Sexy hair


Alien invasion, oh no.

You're right I Googled it now.

Inter-species - between the species
Intra-species - within the species

Well, boo hoo, if people aren't allowed their own opinion. That after all is what a debate is about. Or is the thread really about pandering to your ideals to make you feel good. I'll just get some salt and vinegar to go with the fish, just need to add that huge chip on your shoulder.

As to aliens, personally I don't care now, this thread has lost any appeal due to the OP's prescriptive judgements. But if they were introduced aslong as they didnt become fluff pets or just "sidekick" potential and actually had some challenging moral and ethical backstory to it to engage people further it might be worth it.

There doesn't neccesarily have to be sentient interaction, e.g. evolved energy beings that are simply chaotic in nature like olden day wisps could add some random elements into daily activities if made slightly obscure, maybe interfering with ships and gates etc to deactivate things temporarily and so on. Space "flies" if you will, end up with people trying to harvest them for production purposes whilst others wanting to protect the species. Hell you could make them more sinister and be dark matter beings that end up using anti-matter to erode and consume things, were their interaction could have serious potential with players needing to control any possibility of them reaching epidemic proportions. But then people would likely simply cry about fairness dependant on their interaction as has been mentioned.

It doesn't neccesarily have to mean the advent of Tech 4 accross the whole of new eden, which would be the obvious popular choice for purely "gimme gear" reasons.

At the end of the day however, I don't see anything at present to suggest that the absence of a significant alien theme is detrimental to EvE. [sarcastic]Hope this doesnt mean I'm also shark food now, I'd be so very upset. blub[/sarcastic]

[quote=Gally Alita][quote=mxzf]EvE doesnt need aliens, but if you absolutely HAVE TO HAVE THEM, i sugest you look at slaver hounds and other pets as theya re not earth-species therefore "alien".... who woudla guessed it, THERE ARE aliens in eve, just none intelligent.

Actually, the slaver hounds are more intelligent than the OP. EVE doesn't need aliens just like Firefly didn't need aliens.

And besides, as far as I know, nobody knows what the Sleepers are, so who's to say that they aren't alien lifeforms?

If anything, EVE only needs alien lifeforms in its backstory, such as the slaver hounds and other animals, but certainly not NPC aliens that try to kill us.

All I'm getting from the OP is "I am sexually attracted to non-human creatures"

Everyone in the cluster is technically an alien.

Having some of the long thought dead groups come back in empire (talocan, yan jung, etc.) would be very, very interesting though, I think.

time to spend some time with the sleepers.... to see what they are on the inside maybe

I think they should expand on the jove/sansha/terra storyline. What if terrans came through?
Expand a bit on the eve gate.

Aren't talocans alien? Sleepers too?
