Yes. With the current balance issues, it is definitely time to say "**** it" and increase the number of ships by 25%.

Rogue Drones have been kidnapping humans and turning them into cyborg android slaves (Terminator Salvation anyone?)

Just introduce them as a Story element and a new starter race, no need to change anything else.

Dusties. Dust 514 characters are the 5th race, especially the prototypes from the book Templar One.

Gotta admit id love faction dessies (and more faction frigs) but wouldnt having faction BCs be a tad op? And faction capitals could be something to look into as we already have one that is somewhat balanced towards the other supers

we already have a 5th race, around the time Exodus was released CCP promised they would be playable in the next expansion a year later but then they went silent and haven't said a single word since

It would be nice to be able to roll as pirate faction, but it shouldn't give any benefit beyond starting corp.

The Jove is how CCP is going to do a server reset or for that matter end the game.

Waves of Jove ships going system by system destroying every Station, POS, SOV and ships in the game.

Hopefully we never see the Jove in game for it means the end is here.

Personally I think that CCP missed out on something amazing with the Jove, and that was Incursions.

Imagine that the Jove awake from there sleep, and all they see is factions fighting, factions that are far beneath them, so decide to wipe them out with there more advanced spaceships.

From Incursions we gain Jovian technology, which in turn creates Tech 3 items.

Tech 3 items however are unpredictable, and have random stats, so you could for example, be able to use Jovian tech to create a shield hardener, thats far better than T2, but has double the fitting requirements, or even the same stats as T2, but alot less, everything stats wise, completely random.

Now that, would make some pretty impressive industrial boom, create incursions everyone wants to do, even those in 0.0, and would bring the Jove into the game in a way thats beleiveable.



Who said the Jove were asleep? They've always watched. Factions fighting would have been nothing new to them. And Vak' Atioth wasn't that long ago.

Let's have CCP fix what we have first before we start asking for new stuff. Any new content would just complicate the imbalanced and broken aspect s of the game aven worse that it already is.

AFK Cloaking? An afk cloaker has never ganked me. In fact a cloaker at his keybourd has never ganked me either.

Confirming that balance via random number generator is a good idea.

I'd rather have walking in stations.

Let them finish things they have partially completed(complete rebalace, tiericide(not quite the same thing as re balance being that tiericide also have skill tree changes), and walking in stations in that order before wasting a year and then some of developer time.

...worst...idea...ever.

Yeah, any "new" race except Jove would be smashed into pieces by the current empires from the role-play view really. And chances that an unknown lurking race suddenly popups up that can meet the technology etc isn't viable I think.

+1

Aditional rases wont change anything because rases as (avatars and rases story line under every rase description) got zero impact on real game play, rases abilitys etc, caldari can be well skiled and focused on minmatar ships, and vice versa, rases play marginal role in this game, more specialisation or ships why not, but not rases.
