This review says, among other things, "Players may not choose to play a Jovian character, though, until they have played Eve for some time."

Well "for some time" means soonÖ in CCP speak. So anywhere between whenever till whenever.

The Jove are split up into at least 8 groups/bloodlines all very different from each other.
3 examples are

"Unsullied
Genetic engineering has through the centuries transformed Jovian society in every aspect imaginable. Many Jovians believe that enough has been done. The Unsullied is a group of Jovians that have rejected further generic experiments and instead adopt conventional methods to deal with sickness and old age. They are advocates of cyber-implants and want to use machines instead of genes in the search for better life.

Existentialists
The Existentialists are the most energetic and vociferous Jovian group. They live for the moment and are always ready to experiment, even with their own bodies. To them, nothing is sacred. The Existentialists tend to have little to do with the other races, as they find them boring and uninspiring.

Puritan
Many Jovians dream of returning to their genetic roots, now long since lost during the Shrouded Days. Those that are most active in their search for the 'untainted' Jovian genes are called the Puritans. In the hope of cleansing the nation of the Jovian Disease the Puritans try out ever-more outrageous genetic engineering stunts, often with quite unexpected results. But unlike the Existentialists the genetic engineering of the Puritans has the specific aim to return the human element to the Jovians, instead of being just narcissistic in nature."

You know, I've always been a bit disappointed we can't play as a Jovan, or like (as the article suggests) some sort of uplifted version of our original race.

I don't know why anyone would give a rats rear end about playing a Jovian.

Unless CCP wants to introduce racially based advantages for flying certain ships, then there's not much point. The only reason to choose any one race over another is to get better stats in a certain area.

Unless you're a role player, but even then it's not so hard to metagame some BS story about why you're an Achura flying with CVA.

Well jovians are cool, you don't just select a race by stats?
I don't see you being achura for example?

I'm against Jovians becoming a playable race myself. The idea of the Jovians is that they are superior to us. If they become playable either those who are Jovians are superior simply by being Jovians, or they are balanced to be the same as the rest of us and that just ruins the whole concept of them. I think it's better for them to remain unplayable.
