The problem with bringing in aliens is it automatically gives humans something in common letting them work together. In eve the conflict is all about people so of course we are the most intelligent, powerful species in the lore.

We also have the examples of Firefly and new Battlestar Galactica - two popular scifi series with no aliens. Though BSG came close with those 'angels.' |

There's a theory that the Reptilians didn't come with us through the EVE Gate. They stayed behind, finally revealed themselves, and completed their subjugation of Terra.
There's another theory that the Reptilians did come through the EVE Gate with us. And that they're the one's pulling the strings behind Goons and CODE. Kind of makes sense, if you think about it.

Where the scifi actually is in this game?
All I see is references from the talebook from ancient palestine.
There are alien artifacts and clues pointing to them, but it's not a whole universe or even a whole galaxy; it's only 7000 star systems, but so far the closest thing we have to actual aliens is...
Jovians - Another race of humans with lots of augmentation and genetic changes. They are hard to find.
Sleepers - Complete A.I. that live mostly in Wormhole space. Very dangerous.
Drifters - Most dangerous and odd of all. They are similar to Star Trek's BORG. Drifters dismantle Jovian outpost, control Sleepers, and harvest corpses from players, then they combine all that technology into one. VERY dangerous.

Humans are the aliens, and humans being the humans they are, have already wiped out every other species long ago.

No, just no. It only takes a small opening for hordes of catgirls and pandas to come flooding in. |

Actually the RCC has made it clear they'd love to meet aliens and have a writ saying they would have souls in need of salvation.
Further, this isn't a recent thing, the RCC has been pondering this alongside the other old denominations for centuries as to the concept of aliens and original sin with a fallen creation.
It's terribly fascinating and an illuminating thing to read up on when bored.
It's more of a US thing under the Evangelist movement with various part of Baptists and other more numbered but enough to be too many to name that are the idea of science or religion.
This is not so much a knock at the followers, as their supposed doctrinal issues, but even then they lack a head figure to speak for the groups, making it all fairly local.
In a differential sense, life as a combination of molecular structures is a naturally self arising phenomena from the universe itself.
Ergo, for us to be the only "sapient" life would place the soul as the center of such.
However, as there is quite the number of tool using and sentient life that is demonstrably better off than some of the lower rungs of humanity, it would be not be presumptuous to suppose the existence of life elsewhere.
More unto the point, New Eden is relatively too small to see the rise of other sapient life.
Sentient yes, but then again sentient life is rather easy, within 2 decades to be a university project, 4 to be a home item. |

Quite plausibly, rogue drones would make effective Berserkers, wiping out any orbital infrastructure that we/they could determine.
Thus, we would not see a plausible alien species.
Downside, we would still note the regular radio pulses from a planet, particularly as most of New Eden is within 4 light years of somewhere else and thus the signal to noise ratio has not achieved the same ratio as cosmic background radiation.
Further downside, such a distance also means your neighborhood aliens could be right next door and not realized for a long time.
Functionally, we would need to send explorer ships with uncapped warp drives to nearby constellations and have them listen to do such an investigation.
Further downside, drones would already be doing this to seek more material for themselves.
Ultimate downside, when they have done so, they would plausibly expand exponentially and rapidly outmass us from even one virgin system of relatively equal size to our own current Sol. |

Humans are the aliens in New Eden. We're the ones who came from somewhere else, and settled.
Quote:Alien (noun)
1. a resident born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship by naturalization (distinguished from citizen ).
2. a foreigner.
3. a person who has been estranged or excluded.
4. a creature from outer space; extra-terrestrial.

It would be cool if ccp put strange new alien life in this 'new space' that they keep threatening to introduce but i doubt they will.

They are quite alien enough for me. NO anthropomorphic aliens please CCP.
