No because they would either be overpowered or dissapointing. Nothing more.
There's enough intra-galatic depth and storyline that you don't need to introduce Terrans as well.

I vote to leave these alone.

Itd be cool if they brought in one big ship that attacked Jita

kinda like a world raid in WoW but I think itd be even funnier if the playerbase sat back and let it get destroyed

Terran ship salvage should lead to tech level 4! Which should be even more specialized than tech II. Caldari ships without armor, amarr ships without shields. Would be a balancing nightmare tho lol

I used to fly in Jove space, until I discovered Smirnoff.

Keep the Jove mysterious and unreachable. I prefer them that way.

Long, long ago in an expansion far away, a jovian ambassador was assinated by players. CCP made a half ass attempt at a game event out of it. I still have the complex fullerine (or something like that) and a bone shard that showed up in one of my station item bays like easter eggs. I am sure some of the really old players remember this.

Everyone are retards when they talk about the Jove... look back a little, it wasn't long ago that the jove were actually flying macheriels, cynabals and dramiels... those were the old version of Jove ships...

If anything, adding new jove ships would be awesome because of the designs, and really... you guys are retards when you expect a single Jove ship to be so powerful, they are far from immortal.

Actually those ships you mention were made by the Angel Cartel, who took over abandoned Jove space and rumoured to have discovered some Jove technology which possibly influenced those ship designs.

Jove ships are stupidly powerful though, both in the lore and in the game.

I prefer Jove to be as they are now. A Mystery.

If EVE Online was to ever go offline permanently, the prelude would be the Jovians are doing it and that they did it in the end.

Devs = Jovians.

It's an internal joke at CCP, created when EVE was being developed. Check the descriptions and early cannon of Jovians and it'll make sense. The original avatars of Devs on forums were Jovians.

The joke was taken too far and once they became a big company, they corrected it around 2007/trinity II. When the avatars were updated.

Long gone are the days Devs would get into a Jovian bs and "/tr me Jita", for fun.

They will never be 'ingame' again.

I think having overpowered ships in game could work and it would create interesting gameplay if done right

An idea i had a while ago would be to have one randomly spawning wormhole in New Eden that leads Jovian space and once a certain number (between 1-5) of people pass through it, it closes.

In these wormholes you could stumble upon an archaeological site that contains an abandoned Jovian ship that has some unique and overpowered functions. Only 4 (for example) of the ships could exist in New Eden at one time. When a pilot enters one of these ships, they gain access to a private chat channel where they can communicate with the pilots of the other 3 Jovian ships

On their own the ships would be comparable to a T3 but slightly better in almost every way but when these Jovian ships work together, they have the ability to link there weapons together producing massive damage, with the maximum damage output being equivalent to a doomsday when all 4 ships link their weapon systems.

The catch... you can't dock in a Jovian ship and when it's destroyed, it returns the archaeological site in the Jovian wormhole.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

The ships would never leave Jita and you're back to square 1...besides - you can't even get the skill books, it would break all cannon if you could, and I can't understand why a Jovian ship would be left toiling at an arch site, with skill books conveniently left in the glovebox.

What make you think your feeble capsuleer brain can understand the actions of the Jovians?

Anything is possible with enough time and thought put into it.

I must be honest, main reason I really want Jove ships is not because I want overpowered ships... It's because I want their designs... they look really awesome!

What if Jove just released the ship designs, but they were balanced to be on par with the other races? I don't care for the argument "what role does it fill" as I think it's a ******** concept to go by, to be it would be on level of the "Golden Scorpion" just something that would look nice in the hangar :) and people will want to blow up when it undocks

Kinda interesting if they opened up Jove space eventually...But have multiple entry points from all sides. Meaning a whole lot of people are going to rush in to take completely neutral territory.

MOTHER ******* LAND GRAB BITCHES!!! Go all second colonial age on jove space like africa.
