We probably are closer to Jove tech than most would expect...I wouldn't say we've surpassed it though, I mean have you seen what a single one their ships can do to fleets of ours?

That was years ago.

Can you see what one of our mordern fleets can do now?

Yes, we have advanced since then. But remember that was just a few of their ships, and I don't doubt they've been advancing their technology too (if not in the area of "not dying of a genetic disease", then almost certainly in ships). Given equal numbers, and modern ships of both sides - plus any support technology they have (off-grid remote repairs, maybe, or cloaking that doesn't need to be shut off to target things), I'm pretty sure the capsuleers would come off worse.

Nova has got a point.... thanks to regular updates of EvE online, the four empire's tech is accelerating much faster than Jove tech has canonically.

However we all know that if the devs want the Jove to remain superior they can pull something out of their asses and say like "Turns out capsuleer tech was actually used to spy on the four empires, and now the Jove have everything you do, except better!"

Die a little slower,

This is progress.

Speculation.

"The Jovian's gentetic disease is a clear answer to why."
That spelling mistake hurts me.

And more and more incidents of meeting with jovians in the mordern times are ghosts or echos or forgotten memories. Everything we seen recently none of it has been living breathing jovian.

SP?... Im confused.

And this:

"Everything we seen recently none of it has been living breathing jovian."

But was an interesting read.

I hear the Turians have the largest military force in the Galaxy

You want new game play? Capsuleer incursions into jove space.

CCP make it happen!

A great read, must be summarised properly somewhere

People don't summarise anything when it comes to the Jove, Sleepers etc.

Instead they expound, extrapolate, exagerate, and I'm pretty sure some of them are doing something else that starts with an e and ends in 'late.

Honestly, some of the stuff that gets posted about Jove makes Die hard Star Trek nerds look normal.

Nice surmise Nova - +1 easter egg to you.

The Jove have been quiet for a very long time now. It was never fully explained why they tried to send a diplomat in the first place all those years ago and the retreat back into themselves, bar a few sightings of battleships, has never been fully explained.
Sure the dipo ended up spread across the universe, but the Jove got most of him back. The capsuleers showing willing on their side yet the Jove just retreat and never retry a dialogue. Odd.

You are certainly right in the way our Tech has moved onward hugely since many of the 'incidents' involving Jove tech ships and capsuleers. The question though as to whether they have also moved upward is inconclusive and its conjecture to say not.

I think the question really is : Have the Jove succumbed to the illness.

After all its awful quiet out there nowadays.

Is this some code describing the formation of the Jove fleets on April 28th?

Because it looks like either a cipher, or some Burroughsian cut-up prose.

Either way, I don't want to fight the Jove.

If they show up, I'll be CJ'ing byebye.

Your sarcasm meters should be screaming.

The Jove were never impossible to kill, in the battle of Van'koth it was not just 7 Jove ships, it was a lot of Jove frigs and I quote "The Jove countered with their smaller, faster frigates and cruisers" and it was finally their mothership that won the da

I will also point you to this text http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Battle_of_Vak%27Atioth_(Chronicle) were it actually originates from, many Jove ships were destroyed that day, even being outnumbered they still did win... moral of this post... Jove ships are superior, but not unbeatable, they were they were using fast ships and the amarr was using battleships... we all know how that would end today

Have non of you watched clear skies? What clearer proof do you need that the Jove still exist!

Face it people
Jove are no longer technologically superior to us.
We surpassed them wtihout notice
We are the authors to the future now
