i want THARGOIDS
WTF's a Thargoid ?
Or did I miss out on some essential scifi **** somewhere ?
for those who do not know:
Thargoids were aliens from the original Space-Trading-Mining-Combat game - Elite (Iain Bell/Acornsoft 1983)
Without which Eve would never exist.
They used to knock you out of warp in deep space and kick the sh1te out of you... and they dropped rare loot :-)

"No aliens, nevar!"
I disagree...
I don't want goofy EnB MOB's, but more humanoid races to interact with besides human derivatives would be awesome.
It could be a great expansion to the game.
The Minmatar working on a new type of stargate, accidentialy open up a portal to another dimension... Interaction with both benign & malevolent humanoid species... Some wanting peace & trade, others wanting blood & domination of the EVE universe...
It could be done in a way that would give a lot of the PvE folks more of what they want out of this game...
But I doubt CCP will do it, PvE is too much work for them...

Even if such a thing would happen (which I highly doubt) it'll at least take a few years to conceive of a storyline to do it (a non-cheesy one) and to implement it.
Personally, I think new pirate organisations and new bloodlines (Khanid!) is the way to go.
If it's PvE you want, I hear those rogue drones are scary lil buggers.

Or you could force yourself into Thargoid space by holding down Ctrl key as you warped. Very easy pray if you had military lasers and that uber shield from the Constrictor mission. Used to go there all the time.
Be lucky!
P.s. Tried the ctrl thing here ... no luck

Why do I seem to be the only one who ever read how the EVE gate closed?
Now lets think carefully the builders of the gate are on the earth side, for all you know they may be building another gate or that first wormhole may return.
Will we appear as aliens to them?
Are there Jovians still in earth sector?
Stop griping about server instability and go buy an EVE mug!
Additionally with the purchase of each mug you will receive two(2) invisible Elves.

Every Alien "Group" added to one of these games always comes out looking like a guy in a rubber suit.
- They have the same motivations as humans.
- They behave in a similiarly violent fashion as humans.
- They generally have an understandable and relateable background story as humans.
So, why not just keep them as humans. Jove seems good enough to me...basically they are the Aliens just without the suits.
Now, if Aliens could be created that were actually "Alien", that would be a neat trick. Problem is, the people who create them and the people who play against them would be human so they would have to be tailored for humans. Really, an Alien Space ship with all the armor of a Sponge and with the overwhelming desire to sit in deepspace and make bubbles out of fungus, simply to stare at them with their sensors, would be kinda dull to play against...though truly alien.

Jove are alien enough for the plotline.
Though I would appreciate some rogue drones or maybe some mystery ships with very unusual designs.

ROGUE DRONES are alien and apparently in SHIVA.
What else are they but the precursor of some gigantic machine intelligent civilisation that is operating just beyond the boundaries of human knowledge.
And when the ickle drones stuffed with minerals start getting blown up by greedy pilots - who knows what the consequences may be.
Could we be starting a cataclysmic human vs machine war?

I think it would be great to have some aliens, as long as they aren't humanoid and can't communicate with us..
