Curious on what the chances are of new playable races(no not jovians either)? And if so a time frame? 6 months/1 year/decade?

Exactly how would you write a new race into EVE that just magically appears after all of the established back story at this point?
It could be done easily as long as it doesn't conflict with the current lore. Theres alot out in New Eden that is still unknown so another race or two wont break the storyline. Also with the addition of wormholes could infact bring in new races considering thats how New Eden became what it is now.

Right, but how are you going to write it in as to why they just magically appear in the currently known 5,000 systems? Unless wormholes are going to lead us to an entirely new set of dozens or hundreds or thousands of solar systems with an explanation as to why they had previously not bothered to set out into any of the currently known 5,000.
So pretty much what your stating is that just because its not currently in the storyline that nothing else can be added?
Plus there are cases if you run missions or read datalogs that drop from rats of reports of UFOs though most people dont notice these because most dont actually take the time to read them.
Also to my understandings wormholes will be more or less natural and not man made which means how could these races reach any one of the 5,000 known systems before hand?

Those are merely bloodlines. Not exactly the same as "oh, hey look at this fifth race over here!".
Bloodlines are races? Or am I wrong here? These different races fight for the same faction? Yes?

The addition of a new playable race would in fact mean the addition of 2 races so it would be able to counter the other.
This would be a major addition probably the largest since it would have to be new space, 2 new styles of weaponry(since right now each faction has 2 distinct forms of weapons ie Matari=AC/Artillery, Gall=Blasters/Drones, Caldari=Rails/Missiles, and Amarr=Pulse/Beam) Also the addition of 20 t1 ships plus x amount of t2/t3 variants.
I would think that would be more worth the man hours then WIS. But maybe thats just me. |
