I hope this counts as legitimate speculation from the PAX EAST announcement, but:

Today, Monday March 25th, CCP Games is delighted to announce the 19th free expansion to EVE Online, titled EVE Online: Odyssey. This expansion is planned for release on June 4, 2013. Odyssey will greatly expand the opportunities for players to explore all corners of the massive EVE Universe and its 7,929 solar systems.


To me, all corners means everywhere, and to get 7,929 means that 'everywhere' has to include Jove space.

::EDIT:: Has marketing director David Reid given the green light to Joystiq over at Massively to also be in on this speculation?!?!

The dough within the blue donut will easily expand to fill in this space. So nbd Straight

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

So the Jove finally thought "Enough!", hopped into a fleet of their motherships and wormholed to another cluster. Now Jove space is infested with Sansha, looting for leftovers and stage incursions into the rest of known space.

Now with Odyssey Capsuleers can go into Jove space to squabble with the Sansha over Jove garbage.

Or perhaps they have all "supposedly" died of Jove Syndrome and their space is now ripe for the pickings. Advanced technology laying around all over the place as their civilization went terminal and collapsed in a relatively short period of time.

Of course, it's only a test (or trap, depending on your point of view).

Psh, who cares about Sansha invading Jove space, what about Amarr V. Jove round 2?

EDIT: even better what if their slave virus turns out to be fatal-on-contact to jove?

I'm thinking a section of space, that possibly is only accessable via a few bottlenecks, with amazing loot you get through some unique missions or exploration sites, but then is only really valuable when sold back in highsec would make for some incredible adventures.

Imagine if it was a nullsec space that couldn't really be jump bridged to, or really could only get BLOPs after people put up extremely risky moon investments.

It would just be a huge and valuable NPC nullsec.

Nah, Marketing made an executive decision to include the Dev Regions, because bigger numbers are better numbers.[1]

Lol, knowing how ccp messes thing up, its probably one way trip, you go, your traped there...

Or Jove has left some sort of doomsday device they used to isolate their space, no jovians left to controll it... Now it overloading and wipes out half nullsec when it goes....

What if it was only accessible by noobships and whatever they could carry in cargo so everything had to be built there from the ground up just like the early days.

Realistically if it ever opens up (and I doubt it ever will), it'll be claimed by one of the blue naptrains and farmed for any new items there that can be turned into a cartel. (or rented out to a pet alliance if the space turns out to be as bad as providence etc).

Excellent catch.

Unfortunately, I'm going to be relegating this to the "CCP typos and oversights" category, where at some point in the future, some dev will make a comment saying "That is simply the total number of systems, used for the effect of awe, we never even implied that you would be able to visit all of them."

I really don't think it would be possible to enforce a cartel if for example all of Jove space had a set of new wormhole relationships that wondered around it, and you couldn't set up sov in it.

It would be really difficult to get capitals in, and really risky if you did. The place would potentially be defended kind of like C5s, but have the local and content of nullsec NPC space.

I just really want faction modules from a Jove LP store.

What if this was just wild speculation because of a badly worded sentence?

That is FAR more likely than the OP's assessment.

I consulted the foremost authority on pre-patch speculation.

I think this should clear up all the questions.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.
