So i've wondered what this was for since joining the game. I've waited for an expansion that would open it or explain more about it. Expected a new race of ships to add to the already existing, something that would be of a higher caliber because of the "lore" but would require something like all cruisers to 5 or a totally new skill tree that would have that as a prereq. Does anyone know if CCP is ever going to expand on this?

Jove ships would be exceptionally OP

based on that link, i don't think they would be so OP...

Seems like the Amarr sent an undersized force, were out maneuvered by the frigs, and had insufficient intel. Top top it off, a Jovian titan (or the equivalent of one) shoes up far out of range and starts using Dooms Day weapon on the amarrian fleet, which was pinned down by the jovian fast moving frigs.

Great fight by the jovians... and also the only fight by them. They are obviously menuverable, have titans, and are good at putting out dps. They don't seem god like to me Roll

I find that the Jovians are there to keep the eve online francise going. Giving us hope and perhaps a goal to aim for.

And in case eve online is going downhill, that Jovian update could be a backup plan.

Jove space is GM playground and jove ships are their toys. no more, no less.

Jove=Jupiter=god of gods.

GM in eve =something like gods in eve.

Its just metaphor for their playground. Big coverup and conspiracy Attention

One of their frigates would rip apart any carrier we deploy. Jove ships are hell unleashed.

Yeah yeah, so they nerf the hek out of them and release them to the public, wouldn't be hard.

It looks like a tick... Kill it with FIRE! Besides that, CCP should just have some kind of event where they all fly jovian ships and shoot people. Preferably in Jita.

Stats of their ships don't sound all that ridiculous while noone really mentioned releasing of Jove guns in addition to Jove ships Smile

If not their ships, at least make them a playable race(character wise)
Would be nice to have a few extra races to choose from.

Since CCP dumbed down the races and character creation, adding more races in means nothing. Also Jovians should never be added in especially as a playable race. They really should always be the mysterious unknown race they are today.

From memory it says they're just motherships, but with rediculous capital weapons that just smash through everything. Also, everything seems to cloak.

What I'm going to ask is how CONCORD is more OP than the Jove when CONCORD is a product of the empires...

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

CCP needs the Jove to tease the playerbase when they are light on content for expansions.

We'll know if the Winter expansion will be any good or not if CCP employees start talking more about the Jove in upcoming interviews. If there's so much as a screenshot of a Jove ship that comes out we know it's going to be a light expansion...

jove ships aren't really that much more powerful then other races. the playerbase has just repeated the rumors that 1 jove cruiser could kill 100s of battleships, when it isn't the case. no lore suggests any jove ship ( aside from the motherships) can be seriously broken.

that said I don't really need them in the game. it would be nice to be able to use their space though.
