Player Features and Ideas Discussion

First off, I think most of those are trademarked. Second, why?

get off the thought.

there is plenty of lore and diversity in EvE as it is, heck, Firefly (another great sci-fi thing) was a series AND a movie and NO ONE EVER COMPLAINED there were no aliens.

EvE doesnt need aliens, but if you absolutely HAVE TO HAVE THEM, i sugest you look at slaver hounds and other pets as theya re not earth-species therefore "alien".... who woudla guessed it, THERE ARE aliens in eve, just none intelligent.


but in all seriousness, we havent even fleshed out T3's real well, there is no need for T4's, and supposing there IS aliens, what logical reason woudl tehy have for enteringa region where EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER is a demi-god cyborg with enough firepower to wipeout a solar system? the onlyr eason they WOULOD is if they ahd the firepower to curb stomp anything and everything in it.


logically or lore wise, wahtever you wanna call it, the only reason there is even any reason for the empires themselevs to fight is ebcause theya re contained togetehr, there woudl be no logical or lore-based reason to rbing aliens into new eden.

You want intra-species sex? You find that attractive?

Just unsub, for the sake of good God the Lord, and leave us for something like Star Trek Online or Star Wars:TOR.

That's the worst, and most repulsive thing added to these two science fiction franchises.

I have an idea. Quit playing EVE

I was looking for amusing comments.. You guys are too serious. I can understand the why without intelligent aliens is a good thing, but for the future expansion, adding new contents into the game like new races and gameplays is always a good topic to discuss of. Fine to me if you're into the whole "human is the only intelligent lifeform" belief, but I rather think more logically. This might not apply to the many of you, but I think it is more logical to have other native intelligent life in new eden. I'm just giving out my suggestion that's all. I was actually looking forward on amusing comments, not the dead fishes I've been receiving.

This is a sandbox. If you want a tale, you have rp corporations out there, and make your own story. Many people like this game just because it's a sandbox, me included, and weill unsub if themepark elements became very present, let's say more than epic arcs today which are long repeating quests.

Bringing us more together is a bad idea. If Gallente and Caldari, and too Minmatar and Amarr were killing themselves for generations, adding great threat to unite them all just reeks of "I don't know how to make a better story", because conflict between Empires is even better backdrop for the storytelling.

And the game is about human conflict, and personal conflict in humans itself. Aliens would water it down severely. Too, conflict is focused on player corporations, and Empires through FW, not humans versus aliens.

It's not even Sansha vs. everybody else, nor it had been, because you can do missions for Sansha and gain rep and LP from them. You wan't to make a game of vast personal choice to something so simple as good guys vs. the bad guys. Except in reality is seldom completely clear what is black and what is white.

And I had in mind NPC empires too. You know, bringing an unknown, dire threat to unite those that killed themselves for centuries, you know, we had such threats in every WoW expansion so far. How is copying mediocre WoW story of a badass villain that will destroy everything if not stopped that they use for every expansion good storytelling?

Well, boo hoo, if people aren't allowed their own opinion. That after all is what a debate is about. Or is the thread really about pandering to your ideals to make you feel good. I'll just get some salt and vinegar to go with the fish, just need to add that huge chip on your shoulder.

As to aliens, personally I don't care now, this thread has lost any appeal due to the OP's prescriptive judgements. But if they were introduced aslong as they didnt become fluff pets or just "sidekick" potential and actually had some challenging moral and ethical backstory to it to engage people further it might be worth it.

There doesn't neccesarily have to be sentient interaction, e.g. evolved energy beings that are simply chaotic in nature like olden day wisps could add some random elements into daily activities if made slightly obscure, maybe interfering with ships and gates etc to deactivate things temporarily and so on. Space "flies" if you will, end up with people trying to harvest them for production purposes whilst others wanting to protect the species. Hell you could make them more sinister and be dark matter beings that end up using anti-matter to erode and consume things, were their interaction could have serious potential with players needing to control any possibility of them reaching epidemic proportions. But then people would likely simply cry about fairness dependant on their interaction as has been mentioned.

It doesn't neccesarily have to mean the advent of Tech 4 accross the whole of new eden, which would be the obvious popular choice for purely "gimme gear" reasons.

At the end of the day however, I don't see anything at present to suggest that the absence of a significant alien theme is detrimental to EvE. [sarcastic]Hope this doesnt mean I'm also shark food now, I'd be so very upset. blub[/sarcastic]

You're right I Googled it now.

Inter-species - between the species
Intra-species - within the species

As much as i would like aliens to be present (personnal taste and curiosity, really), it does'nt make the fact that we dont find any aliens in the New Eden Region illogical.

Finding a region of a galaxy that's empty of any intelligent animals (except ourselves) is quite possible, in fact.

PS: Some people do find inter-specie sex interresting, even though, most of the time, the "other specie" looks a lot like a normal human with a couple modifed things on it. Think the "Asaris" from Mass Effect, for example or even to some extend, the "Quarians".

PS2: Even in real life, there have been traces of inter-species sex in humanity. Why do you think we share so much genes with the chimpanzies?
