So they've added Jove ships and some SOE faction ships, which are cool. What about the other NPC factions? Are they stopping at SOE, or will they continue?

(If they are looking for ideas, they should start with Thukker... just sayin')

And speaking of Jove ships, when is that going to become a part of EVE? Jove space, ships, technology? I understand it's something the players have to 'unlock' but where is the key? And don't say "Dev playground", I've heard that before and it's BS, that's what SISI is for.

Jove ships been there since... before the game itself

Check out Brunhilde Tahl's bio ingame for hidden cool ships waiting to be added.

To add a ship, you need a role for it, or some new game mechanics that would justify it. Thoughts in my other thread T2.5 Ships

Improved Preview Tool for Ships, Stations, Gates etc.

Gnosis isn't a Jove ship, just sayin'. And why would we know if/when /what they'll add? They don't tell us any more than they tell you.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

I could tell you, but then:

- if I knew I wouldn't be able to say
- if I said, then I don't really know

NDA and all that. Anyone who has real knowledge won't add anything.

Hmm...Mastodon, Nomad, Jaguar, Cheetah, Vagabond and Panther would like to have a word with you.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Time for a rogue drone faction ship. I want a tentacle domi and I'll chase people with anime schoolgirl names around in it.

There is no direct access to Jove space however A few years ago a dev said that not all wormhole space has been explored. there may or may not be a WH into it, none have been found but doesn't mean it's not there

"They've" got a plan to add about 50 more ships, including a new class that sits between a battlecruiser and battleship. "They're" also planning on a few ships with up to three more lows, or three more meds to make tanking a virtual pushover. These ships they plan to make part of a hard to find storyline obtainable only by talking to agents all over the galaxy! (Sort of a hunt-and-chat feature, like the early console games). The ship design will follow an advanced visual line making all the ships we use now look like antiques! And, they'll be mission rewards!!

By the way. Would you be interested in buying a bridge? I have an orange one in San Francisco I'll let you have - cheap.

The SoCT has, through the ages, acted as the outlet for the spiritual needs of the Jove


Gnosis was designed by SoCT who are, in fact, Jovian. SoCT is a faction not a race.

Saying the SoCT are not Jovian is like saying the Imperial Navy are not Amarrian Roll

there are many factions untouched yet:

-Mordus Legion
-EoM
-Ammatar Mandate
-SoCT (no more special edition bullshit please)
-Interbus
-Intaki Syndicate
-Jove Empire as a whole

the problem is finding not only roles, but defensive, EWAR and weapon combinations that hasnt been used before, or at least know ones with a twist....

Excuse me... serious question......

Is Thukker pronounced the way I think it is? xD

This feels kind of embarassing to ask. ^^

bingo, his pig not being a goat doesn't make the pig wrong, just him an idiot for shouting at his pig "WHY ARENT YOU A GOAT!" (Source)

Is the Abaddon Khanid ???

I always thought the Khanid innovation ships were:
Anathema
Curse
Damnation
Heretic
Impel
Malediction
Sacrilege
Vengeance

no but we already have T2 battleships made by Carthum (Paladin) and Viziam (Redeemer)......a Khanid BS is left in the field and the Abaddon is perfect for that, as it doesnt have a T2 version yet......
