fifth race
Anyone else flash back to O' Neill meeting the Asgard for the first time at this point?
Anyway, you know most of what there is to know about the Jovians. They are so much more powerful that they could not be made playable without being nerfed into pointlessness.
Given the skill requirements and (presumably) cost of the ships we know about, i'm not sure they pose that much of a balance problem (at least sub-bs). IIRC, you needed all racial ship skills at 5 to fly one (so all frigs to 5 for the frig, all cruiser to 5 for the cruiser) and they use missiles. they'd make great mission ships, but for pvp I'm not sure they'd be any better than the best relevant t2 ship of the same hull size, and very few pilots would ever be able to fly anything bigger than the cruiser.

The models are in. The devs have piloted them on occasion (Sharkbait uses them for his stress tests on sisi), and if you look at the bottom left of the most recent size chart, you can see them.
But they're unbalanced though. Since they weren't rebalanced along with the rest of the ships when CCP boosted the HP, they're actually significantly worse than the playable race ships atm.
If CCP ever open them up to the public, they'll have to completely redo them.
I haven't seen an Ixion, Lynx, or Fury before -- are they in game?

Is there a data file or website somewhere with the unavailable faction ship info? Autolink isn't returning any for me. I've seen some of them before but I don't remember how I found them.

anyone notice that the bustard is the only t2 hauler that apparently is much larger than its t1 counterpart? (and only t2 hauler in there)
I'm guessing maybe it's the only one with a different model than its t1 counterpart? I didn't see any other T2 ships.

I keep imagining this thread title as part of a Jerry Seinfeld observational comedy routine.
<nasal voice> And what's (pause) the deal (pause) with the Jovians?</nasal voice>
(inexplicable audience laughter)
