At this point, I would think that allowing for a fifth race would be extremely bad for game balance. Jovians are supposed to still be technologically superior, and quite influent on the empire politics. Any newbie Jovian player would be at an extreme advantage compared to players of other races. If that was not the case, then the backstory would be totally screwed and Jovians would just be another race, like everyone else and overhyped.
If Jovian space is ever made accessible to other races, it should be as an empire, only for mission running and under very specific circunstances(high standings with the Jovian Empire, invitations, etc...) Having Jovian ships and technology available is also a possibility, as long as it is very superior to current technology, requires jovian specific maintenance to keep working, and is very hard to be obtained.(should be very, very rare. Only lucky people will ever see one, much less fly one)
Not sure it is worth the effort though... Having the Jovians play a more relevant part in the empires afair though, might be very interesting for the overall stories.

I got an idea for the jove race. why not when a set goal is reached of certain amount of skill points a player can then transform into Jove. Isnt jove a race of all races anyways? That way this race won't be ran by trollers or noobs. Say give a set standard of around 15mill sp he or she has a one time chance to get promoted into the Jove race. Would make things interesting.
Uhm, no. Jove are Jove, not all races.
15 mill SP is pretty easy really, slightly more than a year's work. (attribute dependant)
If you're bored some time and extract that .stuff files, you may notice that there exist no models for female Jove. One of these days, I intend to make an RP'ing post about that fact and postulate it as a reason for the Jovian withdrawal from the world. If you think about it, that would certainly explain why they decided their genetic manipulations went too far!

Jove is still a part of a future expansion, but I do not believe we have an ETA for it. 
Which would make it ... "not soon(tm)"

what if we could create Jove Characters but were locked in Jove space as we are currently locked out, allow the Jove to build an empire as well, but in their tiny space

*Pilk sat back into her seat, slightly shocked at what lay on the screen before her. Having extracted the contents of reality's .stuff files, she found that no female Jove existed.

Heres a simple idea. How about some Jove technology being leaked, resulting in a new twist to invention, where you can invent a Jove variation instead of T2?
Of course, the modules would need to be really interesting instead of a large armor rep that repairs 2000hp. Perhaps an LAR that repairs the same amount as a T2 but uses no cap?
T3 is rumored to integrate exotic (not as in dancer) technology into the game. |

Game balance would be a major issue if Jove tech was released to the masses, however, I would be happy just to see some more Jove events occur. Surely they must be getting worried about us capsuleers now that we have titans and stuff. Maybe they could come and destroy an outpost or something :)

Translation: We have no idea what to do with them and currently have no idea if we will ever use them.. feel free to continue to speculate forever though...
