Eve already has aliens..................... the sleepers.

You only realise you life has been a waste of time, when you wake up dead.

i think if ccp makes aliens they should make them some what advanced. aka meaning a different style race. that makes their own decisions. also meaning capabale of fighting and useing fleet tactics as most player fleets can.

calling primarys.
DD devices. from a central hive.
ability to use drones.
able to conquer systems

thats what i see aliens should be able to do. as most aliens in movies are far advanced then humans.

They did things to my bum. Ugh

It's true! They've got a POS set up in Gallente low-sec somewhere and everything. They abducted me, took me there, and tampered with my bits, before drugging me and dumping me out of the cargo hold in Rancer.

Managed to find my way to Jita 4/4 by stowing away in the hold of a neutral hauler alt's Itty MKIV, otherwise I'd probably be space dust by now.

We are the aliens.

I have to agree with centaur about how unrealistic it is to leave out sentient aliens. More advanced, less advanced, it doesn't matter. It just doesn't make sense to me how, against all odds, an entire galaxy of humans with technology from the the twenty-three thousandth millennium hasn't even made contact with another sentient life form.
I recall reading in an ambulation article that CCP wanted eve to be the ultimate sci-fi immersion experience. I've been reading lately that CCP has excluded sentient aliens on purpose and that many people find the idea cliche. Anyone else *smell* the dissonance?

Bottom line: If it's still one of the main goals of CCP to make eve the 'ultimate sci-fi immersion experience' then non-human sentients are inevitable. (though it may be ten or twenty years from now)



The issue here is, that almost every sci-fi breaks immersion for me(and many others) with 2 main things:

1. Total ignorance about basic Newtonian mechanics.

2. Humanoid aliens.

Now the first part is semi-OK due to gameplay reasons, and this game has a very decent industry/market side of game, where flaws in basic science are not that obvious. But the second part is just stupid and comes from old sci-fi films having aliens as humans in make-up/suits. This is totally stupid and very unrealistic.

I am copy-pasting from Wikipedia about Carl Sagan, he said something like this:

"...alien life forms were unlikely to bear any resemblance to terrestrial life..."

Now, you can say... make non-terrestial looking aliens, but they still usually end up like humans with an insect/reptile head(like Mass Effect) or they make some lame creationist excuse about higher powers creating all life and thus everyone looking like an human.

The design and back story of EVE Online is obviously more gritty cyberpunkish/Blade Runner type with setting taking place in space, where corporations dominate, humans kill humans and there is no pure evil in the world.

The second type of sci-fi is space coalitions bringing space democracy to space aliens and/or fighting some galactic evil ala Star Trek. I much prefer the first type of sci-fi and I am sure many will agree with me.

No need to search for aliens in the game (Drones???), just browse Eve O-Forums, there's plenty of them.

For a moment I thought the op was suggesting the addition of some sort of facial moisturizer.

well thank you to the logical people out here who think that its strange after thousands of years humans in new eden the races have not had first contact with any intelegent alein speceis. if CCp wants to immerse us in a si-fi universe better add intelegent aleins in there! but i defnaitly agree with others they shouldent be humanoid cuas it doesnt make any sense *cough* mas effect *cough*
