Man, if I put every crappy idea that popped into my head on the forums....

No 5th race, just introduce Jovians or somethin

or what's left of them

I was just thinking to myself its quite amazing that eve is past its 10year point and its still running the original 4 races the game started with. No new race invading eve uniting the 4 in a common cause. Maybe they carve out a wedge thru null/low/high right where jita is. Causing massive trade disturbance.


No. No. No.

No more race or class creep. If the game is too boring with 4 or maybe 8 races, it's time to move on, not clutter the game.

Each time a race is added or a different class the game gets more complex, and nothing ever will balanced. And that's makes even updating the models in the future a nightmare (notice the WoW player models are the same as it was since 2004? While the NPC models are updated? It's because if they changed the player models it can make players leave in droves, their identity changed so much they don't relate to them anymore).

I liked that idea in Freelancer too, that there were some kind of Luddite cult who compromised their ideals just enough to climb into spaceships and blow up all the other spaceships. Only problem is, they would have to be npc. They would never back down from a fight, never stop to trade and never surrender or build anything. Huh, I guess they would almost be Reavers...

The more I read the forums over the years, the more I swear. To god. That the typos are intentional mistakes. Part o f the encryption.

Sound, even high energy "ultrasound", require that gas atoms or molecules be in very close proximity to one another. Sound propagates through the vibrations of gas atoms or molecules to bump into each other, thus transmitting the "sound energy" from the source to - wherever the sound wave radiates to.

While there are gas atoms and molecules in space, they are too far apart from one another for this propagation to occur.

(I said gas atoms or molecules, but the same propagation of sound can occur in liquids and solids, but it's still the same process. The atoms or molecules bump into one another to transmit the sound energy.)


Not exactly my field, but my understanding is that sound still travels at extremely low pressures (not sure how well).

I also haven't read most of the Eve lore, but my impression is that the medium is pretty close to a fluid. If it was extremely diffuse, travelling fast would damage your hull.



There isnt a drag in Eve space..The lore explanation is that the warp drive on ships create a kind of friction bubble.

I think the current 4 player factions are complex enough.

Anything too Alien would just destroy the EVE background story. Humans are the best aliens to other humans.

Instead they should continue to do what they already started, that is: Flesh the conflicts/intrigues/alliances amongst the empires out more ingame(!) and involve the players.

And I said that as a nerd that actually does read the Chronicles...

There are actually 5 races. 6 if you count the Devs as a separate race. 4 main playable races for us, Jovian that are not playable and the DEVs, which are their own race in some back story stuff.


the devs are not a seperate race they are jovians. they always were. ******* retards mostly.

i could name you a few.

5th race is not worth the effort and resources that would be needed to add them to the game.



1. An area would be needed to be added or alterations to the existing regions to accommodate the new race.

2. New mission givers added.

3. New ships designed added and balanced.

4. New corporations added that are linked to the new race.

5. New basic character model added to the character creator.

6. Skill tree would have to be altered to accommodate the new race skills.

7. Gallente/ Minmatar and Amarr/Caldari and 5th race/? existing alliances out of balance.

8. Lore created to include 5th race.

9. New space stations designed for the 5th race.

I'm sure I could go on.


As you can see there would be too much work involved, far too much to warrant a 5th race especially as we don't need a 5th playable race.

You're thinking "species." Humans is a species. Whereas race is an ethnic division within the Human species.... My to hundredths of an isk.


EDIT:

I just had a thought. I was attracted to the idea of the Joves as a new player race, while dismissing the Sansha Nation idea, but then it hit me. Aren't the San Nation pirates? Well, then... the Sansha Nation pirate agents could conceptually assign us to ganking missions in the asteroid belts. Missions to kill other players!

For example: "We've been having trouble at *name of system asteroid belt*. Our patrols have been coming back, describing mining barges with powerful drones that make it hard for them to keep those invaders out of our mining territory. I want you to check it out. Attack one of them barges and see what comes of it. Come back with a report of what them drones can do. Of course, you're entitled to keep the loot."

These missions can be assigned to low sec space. The player will get crime points, but they don't have to worry over Concord. Of course, that would mean the player would have to get help....

Whatdaythink?

Watch this space.  New exciting signature in development.
