Since iv been playing this game (about 2 years) iv heard alot about the Jove race, and seen screenshots, and videos of devs flying Jove ships etc. Iv also heard about a lot of events and even been involved with one of them. (Myself and a friend attacked a serpentis freighter convoy and they offered us 4bil to escort them out of Syndicate). My question is, when will we see a Jove event? eg. a small Jove raiding party goes on the rampage around low sec or something, and maybe a few Jove ship blueprints falling into the hands of some lucky participants. I think its about time they come and have a fight with us, since we cant go to Jove space and beat them up (or try).

I seem to remember reading somewhee about plans (might have been in backstory for all I know) about upgrading Titans Jump drive to not need cyno fields to jump. This would give an opportunity to jump a Titan in, then colonise from there, perhaps it setting up a cyno field for motherships/carriers to jump to. Hell, introducing the ability for Alliances to build Stargates woiuld be interesting eh? Whoops, they aleady did...

There was a rumour flying around (grrr, sorry about the pun) about 2 years ago that we would get to create Jove characters and play as Jove. I'm not sure whether this rumour was sparked by the development (at that time) of the Asian races (which we now have of course).
Will we ever actually get to play as Jove? Or will we forever have to look at their gates with awe and frustration?

Jove is still a part of a future expansion, but I do not believe we have an ETA for it.

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?

I beleive that if all the kings horses and all the kings men couldent - the blood raiders cant.
Also fyi - it was the original Jove homeworld that the Angels settled around.

Veto.
This would only grant alliances already in the possession of a Titan more free space to advance. BOB has the most titans (even having recently lost one) and have more in the making. this would effectively give bob all the space they need to create an unassailable production unit and logistical operation that no one can attack (i.e. jove space, or Bove Space).
hopefully CCP will get lag fixed a little better in rev 3, and give us some dx9 textures and whatnot (iDrool for eve). After that, who KNOWS what kind of awesome stuff they can get out of the Jove race.
True aliens would be better though, jove are just genetically altered humans.
would not work. And only cement bobs place as teh uberzorsz. ----------------------------------------------- "CCP can't reply to Lag issues; our offices are currently experienceing desynch/lag issues. we are working on the problem." |

NotSoon covers over the concept of first having the four major races duke it out in massive race-vs-race battles - creating chaos in the corp/alliance world followed by a quickly set up alliance between the four major races as the Jove launch a major invasion.
This is of-course right before we meet a native tyranid-like race which will further reduce the space in which pod pilots can fly safe.

Well, how does this sound:
Exploration content rlating to the jove: An abandoned Jove complex guarded by droid guard fleet (extremely powerful, many many BS, capitals, jove supercapitals even). When you clear it all, you are in with a chance to uncover some unique technology items or blueprints. Perhaps put a broken gate in, so one could think it leads to Jove space, but was destroyed by the jovians when they sealed their borders.
The guards should be so tough that it would be impossible to complete without capitals (if allowed into the complex) and tons of logistic ships to keep the tanker alive, and to spica things up, why not have cycling aggro ?
maybe put a 1 in amillion chance of someone getting an ancient jove BS (not eidolon, would be too powerful) BPO. ~~~~~~ *mods, if you think i'm ugly please say "eeek!"* ~~~~~~ eeeeeekk - Deckard eeeeee...K -Darth Patches gawwwd damn!!1 -zhuge you soo pretty  I think you're stunningly handsome and let me just say that you're wearing that dead parrot on your shoulder in a particularly dashing way today. -Hango Your using up all the space hango! - Timmeh |

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.

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.

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!

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 :)
