It has always been a mystery and different sources talk about different things....

I personally want to vote for a massive Jovian invasion to High Sec.

At least for a short period of time:

- No safe space
- Market interruption
- Mining slaughters
- SOV spaces attacked by unbeatable aliens
- Foe alliances working together???

Finally after some time Jovians leave....
Loot left behind:
- Jovian tech bpo´s
- Ships
- Modules
- Superclone facilities (ability to develop augmentations without buying the stuff, although that the clone dies after a period of time).


Come on guys, give me some extra fun with the background that has already been built.

They aren't doing anything with the Jove. There is no need for anything to happen with them.

the jove ARE NOT a war mongering people they keep to thair space and contact with them is limited to a select few (spys and the like).if the jove invaded empire space then there would be no one left in thair wake. they are far in advance of any of the empire factions. thair frigates alone can halt fleets of caps. the vindicator (best DPS platform in wider circulation at current) has the comparative fire power of a water pistol compared to the JOVIAN Eidelon.

to interrupt EVEs Market the jovians would most likly just DD jita 4-4 and any other large or minor hub station. there would be no coming back from that just think how much RL money would be lost to the ether if the jove destroyed Jita 4-4 (i bet its in the 100s of 1000s)

the capsuleer and dust bunnies are super clones. game wist custom implants would be cool but that is a compleatly different matter all together.

You didn't notice that the Jovians aren't even mentioned in the new Odyssey trailer, did you?

Seems like the hint that they have finally succumbed, together with them being unimportant enough to bother mentioning in the trailer says that CCP plans to deemphasize them.

Besides, Sleeper tech and ye olde Earth tech is more advanced than Jovian tech.

Tactical destroyers... I'll take a dozen Gallente, please.

T3 technology is inferior to all known Jovian Hull Configurations.
sleeper Tech has been known about and studied for years (even before apocripha)
the empires know enough about sleeper to have implemented their components in to some ship modules (found in the minmatar cosmos constellation i think) this would imply that sleepers or the race that created them once had a foot hold in a part of the EVE cluster. its was down to the discovery of larger quantity of sleeper components that the empires was able to integrate sleeper Tech in to new hull designs. and that is still in the experimental stage of development. they still have not found a way to ensure the safety and integrity of any POD pilots cognitive functionality after being forcefully removed from the parent hull. it is suspected that the empires was only able to get as far as they did with this new tech because of Jove intervention.

the Jove have Been around long enough to have a acute understanding of the 4 empires and their splinter factions. they are assumed to be as old if not older that the ancient empires of the:

Takmahl
Yan Jung
Talocan (a talocan BS makes an appearance in a C5 radar/mag site i think) make of that what you will

the only Tech currently in EVE that is superior to any known Jove Tech is TERRAN and the jove aggressively seek out and aquire these relics.

The Jovians as a race are dying, literally, and even when they weren't an invasion wasn't their style, why invade now?

What you've suggested is a universe wide incursion which already began with Sansha getting their hands on a suspected abandoned Jovian station. That's as close as you'll get to your idea (which seems game breaking, unbalanced and unfeasable).

You'd have more success pitching it as an existing faction (other than Jove) or entirely new faction. The Awakened Infomorph may well be hinting toward that now.

I'm Naomi Hale and this is my favourite thread on the forums.

Jovian's cant do anything because they are all extinct. They ahd finally found a cure when lab-assistant Tuxford pressed the Big red Button by mistake, dooming them all to oblivion.

Some of those features, while probably being fun, would be horrible and game-breaking, especially for newer players. I've always thought the idea of a Jovian encounter would be cool. But "invasion" would hardly be the term, especially if you're looking to work the lore into it. Seeing as how the Jove are a dying and broken race, the only way you could spin an encounter would be to either have the Jove break into our space in search of a cure. Or you could have the Jove, realizing that their days are numbered, open up their space to us to allow their technology to be claimed before they're completely wiped out.

To the people claiming that the Jove ships are vastly superior to ours, yeah I suppose thats true in lore....but then again look at the Gnosis, Roll hardly a death machine I'd say haha.


All in all, it would be cool to have SOME sort of encounter with the Jove, but I doubt we'll see it any time soon, and if we do, I'm almost positive its never going to be an invasion of Sansha proportions.
