Space Whales!
The introduction of an npc race that is at least interesting would be nice and due to the quality of the designer many feel that it should be the whales.

They would have to introduce a Tech 2 dreadnought variant with specialization in space whale hunting. The question is, what would their corpses yield?

I recall another thread on the forums also about space whales and other fauna living between the stars that would make some sort of 'spectacle' if you happened to come across it on your journey.
I said I like it then, and I still do ;-P
As to whether it should be a new NPC race, with all that might imply, I'm not so sure ...

not so simple answer; make the eve universe a little more interesting with interactive "background" like the passing comet ideas, spacewhales, moving asteroids etc etc. space is so extremely static right now it's rather lifeless.

Ok, funny.
But. Let's see..
A space whale being a multicellular being, living of reactions form harvested planetary or gas cloud origins.
How? By chemically reacting those materials they scoop up from said planets or clouds.
Hunt them down and get yourself the endproduct of those reactions. Of course they depend on the planets/clouds visited by the whale in question (aka pretty random :)
Could be stuff like tungsten carbide, fullerides and other reaction results or various drugs (from the clouds visiting variation).
You know, might actually be a good idea. |

Well I for one wouldn't mind the odd reference in EVE to Dune. And whales in EVE... might just be like Navigators of the Space Guild in Dune.
Perhaps a religio-genetic experiment gone wrong yet inexplicably brilliant by Amarrian scientists on corpses of Amarrian devoters mummified and transmogrified into a whale-like Navigator with a special ability to traverse Empire... or something

You barbarians and your ambitions of hunting space whales. Well, let me tell you, if space whales become a reality, I'm going to form a obsidian-peace pirate alliance to protect the whales (and gank all space-whale hunters) in the name of protecting the only intelligent life in the eve universe.

I am a space whale
Swimming in the sea
I think that the tractor beams
Are going to catch me
I am a space whale
Swimming in the sea
I've noticed that space's
Not as clean as it should be
I am a space whale
Swimming in the sea
I feel that the nebula's
Getting too warm for me
I am a space whale
Swimming in the sea
I worry that the whaling men
Are coming after me
I am a space whale
Playing in the sea
I really want to flip my fins
And giggle with glee
We will save the space whales. We will use any means to protect their right to swim through space. Any who approach the space whales in any ship other than a pod, we gonna capital hot-drop it on em. We have support in various parts of the universe who have been afraid to come out, but have volunteered secretly because they can no longer stand the sound of space whales being murdered.
You could go mine. You could run missions. It's not about the money. You're hunting them for the thrill of overpowering a marvelous creature and destroying something more beautiful than yourself.
When we showed our videos of the space whales to the Jovians, their hearts were warmed, and though they are few, they have also vowed their protection of the space whales. They believe such a creature spawned from the nothingness of space must hold knowledge of the powers that have eluded them. Space whales, perhaps more technologically advanced than any capsuleer ship outside of Jovian space, are happy. The Jovians will not let their songs perish from this universe.
We will save the space whales.

stupid box
Read your version of the story top to bottom
A creature that can create its own warp tunnel can manipulate gravity pretty daftly I'd assume, so when it comes to space whales defending themselves, there ya go.
Here's a bit of fiction to make it go round in a fun way for those who find them:
Space whales were originally conceived just after the collapse as a way to preserve the information of the early civilizations in a form that wouldn't be tied to the human destiny. Not only do space whales travel all over the place, but they also store any information they acquire into internal biologic data-cores.
Space whales have grown to consider humans very primitive since they can warp around without spaceships and don't use missiles which can't hit nano's going faster than 8.8k/s
If you kill a space whale, you get whatever you can salvage/hack/loot.
If you watch a space whale, your standings with the space whales goes up. If you watch long enough, they start dropping items for you, like hints to be less technologically decrepit. If you attack someone who has aggressed the space whale, your standings go up more.
Maybe even...space whale is an interactive agent who will give you new bookmarks to their location if they like you.

I'm in favor IF:
Giant Space Whales leave some sort of residue or gas that can be harvested, thereby making them more valuable alive than dead. Anyone hear of a whale crapping Fermionic compounds? It could be done. Give them their own area of 0.0 (like the drone regions)

It's not fantasy. Fantasy is "we're the magical whales from magic century in the magic kingdom. We've magically become magically imbued by the magie."
This isn't magic. It's genetic manipulation and nano-implantation. So far, CCP has given us laser beams that can transport minerals (not saying it's...seriously, they could have come up with something better) and missiles that can't hit ships that run right the hell into them.
I think we can add space whales created by advanced pre-dark-age technology.

Are all pod-pilots dead?
You can't take this stuff too seriously. I'm not going to complain if there's something more to do in space besides mine asteroids and shoot rats. Yes, there's a lot of PvP. This would be a cross between exploration and PvP between whale nuts and whale pirates. Fun Fun Fun.
Personally I think CCP is waaay too hard core about "Eve is a dark universe where dark characters fly around in dark space with dark space-ships and life is dark and PvP is cruel!!!!! mwajajajajajajajaajajajajaja!!!!"
I support space whales as a sci-fi legit way to make an interesting pass-time and absolutely hilarious bouts between whale-watchers, whale hunters, and the subsequent DDD raiders capitalizing on the whole event.
Life for pod-pilots is short. Clone contracts flow as fast as the ISK. Let there be space whales!

They use Eve voice
Or better yet, give them bots that log into TS and Vent
The same argument could be made that space whales can't surface for air anywhere. These are space whales. They sing with transmissions.
If you would watch the space whales instead of trying to murder them all the time you could learn something about them.

I think they actually took a swipe at Macross 7 being 超昔の話 or ancient history or something like that in Macross frontier. If I were asked to comment on Macross 7 by someone interested in Macross, I'd tell them "Macross fans do not speak of this disaster. It is a dark moment that will slide into forgotten memory."

This is a great idea, till one of the space whales decides it's randy and starts humping your battleship(or carrier, mom, titan, or Rorqual. =P Roquals would have to have an anti-space-whale-lovin bonus or something.)
