Anybody logging in to the test server recently may have seen the new news story about a scientific conference held to discuss a bright object that has inexplicably appeared in the sky - no doubt the much discussed "shooting star" many people have spotted.
Judging by the oblique rerences to Carl Sagan (a proponent of extraterrestrial life) and Craig Venter (a prominent geneticist) in the story, I assume this will either involve the Jove or aliens of some kind, perhaps a new race.
Any thoughts?

Whatever it develiops into, it will be interesting.
CCP used to do alot of RP things around the universe and bring the players more involved with the actual game rather than just grinding ISK/Pew pew.
Seems over the past couple of years they've forgotten about this part of the game.. hey.. I for one, whilst not a huge RP player for the above reason, will welcome such an injection.

It's the Vasari having arrived in New Eden. Lets hope they don't research returning armada or we are all screwed.
Edit: damn, I play too much Sins of a Solar Empire. The above was an actual thought I just had.

It might be the coolest space RTS since Homeworld. Its like Hegemonia + Homeworld.
A new RP event would be cool. I've only heard stories and never actually had a chance to partake in one of these events. However adding a new race isn't the best idea...

I don't think CCP knows what it is either. It's probably all the blank star maps which have been plaguing people since Trinity released all jammed into one spot.
But no worries. As soon as ISD do a story about it, CCP will put it on the list of bug fixes and nerf it.

Anything which expands the game and the background fluff is good for me.
If it also expands the races or missions then all the better. Lets bring on diplomacy missions, spy missions etc etc with a whole new race.

I think it's a natural wormhole which will lead to another 5000 star systems and an expansion. Of course, the Empires will start fighting each other to gain control of it, first.

I bet it turns out to be a new cheap source of massive energy that all races will squabble over and eventually go to war over to control....

No no no! It's our long lost progenitors they've discovered how to artificially create a wormhole to find the long lost 'new eden' project they haven't got the co-ordinates quite right yet... But soon™
