C'mon Terran tech can't be this good. They couldn't even keep a damned wormhole from collapsing.

Making incredibly powerful ships, and keeping wormholes open isn't exactly an oranges to oranges comparison................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

At the beginning of the EVE game, we capsuleers had access to tech one ships, modules, etc. Then came tech two ships, modules, etc. With the discovery of wormholes and sleepers came the tech three cruisers and their subsystems. It is rumored that Terrans are at tech ten when compared on that scale with the Jovians being five I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

A single Jovian mothership destroyed an entire Amarr fleet including capitals.

Wasn't it a Terran superweapon that took down an entire Minmatar capital fleet (Empyrean Age trailer/novel)?

Didn't that happen before we had T2 ships?

I think it was a shield inverter that chain reacted through the enemy fleet and caused the shields to implode in one themselves destroying the enemy fleet.

No, she wants an ancient and falling apart generation ship .. one with no warp drive. Frankly it will be of no use other than to take up a ship resource slip in programming that they could task for something cool and useful.

Who thinks they should do a limited edition Replicated Earth Colony Ship as a cargo ship or some sort?

a good idea, or not?


I think it would be a very nice skin to put onto an existing indy ship. Provided it was purely cosmetic. It would seem no one understands that by "Replicated" you mean in appearance. It's really a shame they all jump to the silly assumption that you think we should get Terran tech.


Exactly!
Replicated, as in reverse engineered to a degree.
A ship that would follow eve tech but has a different skin, like your standard hatchback, its the same under the bonet, but different on the outside depending on the make.

Plus, I think everyone is forgetting that these ships in relic sites (the ones Im on about) are ancient, and probably only compatible to eve tech now (or slightly above, whatever)

Everyone is talking as if these ships are new, earth would clearly have advanced a lot since the eve gate collapse, but these were made before the collapse, a long time ago when earth was basically what you see in eve today.

make sense?
(perhaps this needs re-posting with this in mind from the start of the thread?)

They do have warp drive though, look at the time line and warp drive was invented before the discovery of the eve gate.
(not to mention it was found because they had warp drive to travel)

and logically, how did the get everywhere in eve to colonize if they didn't have warp? everyone would have died or taken very VERY long cryo sleeps to get anywhere.

your point is invalid =(

Made a rendered image some time ago http://i.imgur.com/S7MJIw3.jpg

Pretty sure there was a colony ship with clean textures as of newly built one in last years fanfest graphics panel.... yep there it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WiRV8DtxO0&feature=player_detailpage#t=424 (from 7:05). It appears we were supposed to meet those ships in some exploration sites. And something went wrong. Not in Odyssey, not yet.

What happens if you make a fleet of Terran ships? That could obviously be destroyed only by a greater fleet of Terran ships.

We already have that... They are called supers.Cool



Excuse me while I laugh harder.


Terran technology is beyond what we have today - the nearest comparison is this:

We are cavemen and have just created fire. The Terrans are the tribe next door who manufacture and use nuclear weapons. They would send in say, 6 ships and decimate every single ship (capsuleer and Empire) in EVE for the loss of 1 ship.

They throw around Doomsdays like we throw ISK....except without the 10 minute timer.

They can be found in relic sites.........

And for a clean image view the eve origins trailer.
(would link but on mobile)

And yes, thats the ship i'm on about :)

(p.s, what are the other ships in the first link? One looks jove and the others look unrelated to either.)

Talocan shipswrecks appear randomly at WH data/relic sites. Those are just containers, you cant fly 'em now. But they could do so you could, that'd be cool. My long locked thread -> T2.5 Ships

In the lore, when Earth was colonizing New Eden, their Tech level was massively above what New Eden is at now. The Jove are the only people who even come close, and they are supposed to be about as far behind Terran collapse Tech as they are ahead of everyone else. (Jove advancement seems to me to have been focused outside of tech, into social engineering, cloning, etc.)

For point of comparison, the Amarr have been in space for longer than anyone still around, barring the Jove. (About a 1000 years.) Earth had been expanding & colonizing for well over 4000 years when they discovered New Eden.
