Haliaeetus Albicilla Republic University Minmatar Republic 2	Posted - 2016.03.16 19:21:18 - [1] - Quote So massive galaxy and no other lifeforms than humans? Where the scifi actually is in this game? All I see is references from the talebook from ancient palestine.
NovaCat13 Seymourus and Co. 117	Posted - 2016.03.16 19:23:11 - [2] - Quote You don't need aliens to be sci-fi...
Shae Tadaruwa Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 9	Posted - 2016.03.16 19:29:54 - [3] - Quote Humans are the aliens in this galaxy, so if you want to see an alien, just go look in the mirror.
Conrad Makbure Trident Expedition 89	Posted - 2016.03.16 19:30:39 - [4] - Quote I've always wondered that too, where are the E.T.s. Nothing this deep in space away from earth? Seems like an awful waste of space.

How is that not scifi? "Sammaye > GF Phoenix, what a pro"
Memphis Baas 1348	Posted - 2016.03.16 19:37:03 - [6] - Quote 1. 5000 gated stars + 2500 wormhole stars do not a galaxy make. Look at Elite:Dangerous if you want to see a galaxy. 2. Where are the aliens on Earth? Well maybe there are, but officially it's just humans, and you can have Sci-Fi without aliens. 3. What would be the point of aliens? You want one race to be humans, and the others to be furry or something? What would be the point? The ships are the same, the only difference would be uglier portraits. We don't have avatars, and the attributes just govern skill training times. 4. You're shooting ships. Yes there are people inside (NPCs) and there are escape pods, but they die. You're fake-killing humans, deal with it, no need to justify your inner murderer as "shooting aliens" or "shooting zombies" or "demons" or whatever.

Braden Fanguard Interstellar Expeditionary Group Einstein-Rosen Brigade 33	Posted - 2016.03.16 21:17:48 - [9] - Quote It would be neat though. Even the Jove recogized the possibility of alien life in the chronicle "Inheritance." For now though, the closest thing we have to an alien race IMO is the Jove or the Talocayn, and they are still very much human.

Cien Banchiere Extrinsic Arcadia Distribution 47	Posted - 2016.03.16 22:29:48 - [11] - Quote Except there are. The wildlife on planets. Also, we could be considered aliens since we didn't come from New Eden

Like the holy book told us, with are the peak of creation, the children of god. Every other beeing is ment to be below us. Conrad Makbure wrote: I've always wondered that too, where are the E.T.s.

DaReaper Net 7 2807	Posted - 2016.03.16 23:21:05 - [13] - Quote A long time ago, when EVE was invented, CCP stated that there will be no aliens in eve. EVE is a game, about humans, being human. We are nasty to each other. all the races in eve are a sect of humans. There will not or do not need to be aliens in eve. Get over it. Of course this being ccp that could change, but why? We do enough killing each other that aliens are unnecessary and kinda stupid. We are the invaders of new eden. The only thing that could be feasible is the return of 'pure' terrains. The closest you will get to non human beings (aliens) in eve are the Jove, and they too are human. The Tolcans are human, and other ancheint race as well. all human OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining! Yes i am optimistic about eve.. i'm giving it till dec 31st 2016 before i doom n gloom
Vortexo VonBrenner Tadakastu-Obata Corporation The Honda Accord 2263	Posted - 2016.03.17 00:05:31 - [14] - Quote Personally, I find New Eden not being filled with the standard scifi anthropomorphic "aliens" refreshing and appealing. 2 kinds of EvE player
Daerrol Death By Design Did he say Jump 297	Posted - 2016.03.17 00:09:11 - [15] - Quote Look up the item Fedo. Aliens man, aliens. Slaver Hounds are probably aliens? Maybe just GMO foodstuffs gone to far. The lore tells us planets are full of exotic life, just none of it is sentient. EVE likely has plants and giant monsters that try to kil you, but when they go up against super high tech railguns and ablative auto-reactive armors that repair themselves, they don't seem so threatening. Also Rogue Drones? Jove? Sleepers?
Loconius The Scope Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2016.03.17 00:31:45 - [16] - Quote I don't think it' gets anymore alien then the truly alien intelligence that drives the rogue drones! No one really knows how they became aware, you could extrapolate that however you wish!
Gyliam Maddox EVE Credit Bureau 0	Posted - 2016.03.17 00:48:35 - [17] - Quote I don't think we will see intelligent aliens in the game but when DUST, or whatever its going to be, gets back up & running then we will probably see some sort of alien life on the planets.

Typically aliens are just a stereotype of a particular human characteristic anyway.

Notice how the rare spawns in drone sites are called sentient drones, i think implying the rest aren't. They are also the ones that actually speak.

This. The point is in fact to not be like literally every other sci-fi game out there. "Tomahawks?" "----in' A, right?" "Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each." "----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."
Sustrai Aditua Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 5	Posted - 2016.03.17 01:32:26 - [21] - Quote I guess .... can we use the word "dumb" in this forum?

Arkoth 24 Phayder 143	Posted - 2016.03.17 07:53:38 - [23] - Quote There ARE alien life-forms in New Eden: alien animals, parasites, plants, bacterias. Most of 'em can be found on planets, but some you may see on market. Fedo can be found even in your hangars and containers, if you have some trash or lost and forgotten janitors there. There are still no intelligent life-forms found in cluster, exept humans and AI-s made by 'em. To find some would be interesting anyway: killing each other only makes people bored.
Nat Silverguard Aideron Robotics 374	Posted - 2016.03.17 08:24:45 - [24] - Quote CCP are devout Catholics... there are only humans. Just Add Water
Rek Seven Art Of Explosions 404 Hole Not Found 2165	Posted - 2016.03.17 09:48:05 - [25] - Quote For a sci fi game it is strange that there is no intelligent, truly alien life in eve. The closes thing we have is rogue drones but even they aren't particularly interesting. 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. The wishlist is pretty much complete...
Elyia Suze Nagala Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 87	Posted - 2016.03.17 09:54:25 - [26] - Quote We're all figments of a Talocans mind. We're artificial and yes there were aliens, but the fiction first generation Jove killed all the aliens.

They won't, because they've been very specific that this is a game about Humanity, not about aliens which serve as a caricature of a particular stereotype. I.E. No aliens by design.

Mr Mieyli Hedion University Amarr Empire 280	Posted - 2016.03.17 14:06:44 - [31] - Quote 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. A case for more AoE in EvE
Elyia Suze Nagala Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 87	Posted - 2016.03.17 17:30:03 - [32] - Quote What? You guys never heard about Fedos?
Julanna Egnald Del's Industrial Strip Mining 0	Posted - 2016.03.17 17:40:06 - [33] - Quote 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.'

Khergit Deserters Crom's Angels 4427	Posted - 2016.03.17 18:04:34 - [35] - Quote 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. What would Lee "Scratch" Perry and The Upsetters do?

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.
Terminal Insanity Pwn 'N Play SpaceMonkey's Alliance 927	Posted - 2016.03.20 01:11:25 - [37] - Quote Humans are the aliens, and humans being the humans they are, have already wiped out every other species long ago. "War declarations are never officially considered griefing and are not a bannable offense, and it has been repeatedly stated by the developers that the possibility for non-consensual PvP is an intended feature." - CCP

NEONOVUS Diabolically Sexy Eureka-Secret Science R Us 989	Posted - 2016.03.20 20:19:47 - [41] - Quote Nat Silverguard wrote: CCP are devout Catholics... there are only humans. 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.

NEONOVUS Diabolically Sexy Eureka-Secret Science R Us 989	Posted - 2016.03.20 20:41:26 - [43] - Quote Velarra wrote: Drones. See the SoE Arc. 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.
