A film entirely dedicated to life on a jumpgate station? Sounds good. They should make it into a silent comedy ... with a fat and a skinny guy wearing monocles.

If I recall correctly, the technicians aboard most Stargates have very little to do in the operation of the actual gate. What they are there to do however is maintain what are known as "Fluid-Routers". These are part of a communications network built in to all Stargates, everywhere.

The Routers play a very important role in EVE, sending and receiving everything from your everyday multi system business vidcall, right up to its most important function; Transferring the mind-state of a pod pilot at the moment of death, all the way through the Stargate network back to the medbay where our new clones wait.

Just a little "proper" story for you.


What happens in Wormhole space when there are no Fluid-Routers?

Hmm, maybe if you die in a WH you lose some skillpoints. Sounds hardcore ...

Yeah, would have to use your mental state from the last non wormhole system you were in...

Edit: Or would the system even know you died and that it needs to reclone you?

Its a good read and shows these jump gates, lore wise, could be built with few individuals and a small army of drones. Why they have so many lights and windows was perhaps a art gaff. Just like how they last reskinned the Drake to have fewer windows. Perhaps with stations and gates get v3ed the window situation will change.


Can I just get the tl;dr version of the story plz?

Those stargates were made in ancient times, and people used to live and work there. Now that knowledge is lost to us, which is why alliances can't build new stargates wherever they want. The stargates are creepy and abandoned with corpses inside.

There, brand new backstory for ya. Have at it. Cool



Don't believe everything you hear...


I believe it, I went into one of those things once. I think I saw a zombie


I think Eve needs a zombie apocalypse. Kinda like Incursion but not as centralized and theme-parkish. Random "Ghost Ships" crewed by undead floating through the deep reaches of space.

Not as ridiculously rare as Officers.

at least some stargates are manned, you can see this if you look up ingame, the description for Deklein region.

Others might not be manned, like the smuggler stargates, or the ones in missions.

Yes, they do. There is lore in a region description somwhere of stargate technicians being trained in a specific 0.0 region by families who have run them for generations.

edit: synthetic cultist got it before I did. I was busy looking for it.

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Deklein

Quote:
Like a skeletal finger pointing out toward the void, Deklein is a narrow band of stars loosely connected by some of the most ancient gates outside of empire space. The region is so remote, that some of the gates remain the ones found in the original explorations. While in most regions gate crews swap out every five years or so, in Deklein some of these ancient gates have been run by the same family for hundreds of years.

These families have intricate knowledge of their stargates and the network their connected too, it was once the practice that aspiring gatemen would travel to Deklein to do their year and come back “Deklein trained” – an title of some honor which would almost guarantee them a chief gate operator position… of course, some would never return.

With the advent of heavy Gurista presence in the area this practice ceased, although the families still exist, keeping the gate network running and passing on their extensive knowledge to any gate operator crazy enough to run the gauntlet of dangers to reach them.
