EVE Fiction

But don't forget the Earth tech was at similar level when the EVE wormhole was discovered. So unless something happened to stop/backtrack the tech on earth they should be much more advanced right now than any of the races in New Eden.

As stated above my post, Earth tech that was discovered was far more advanced than what the four empires currently have. So it wouldn't be too far fetched to assume, unless something crazy happened, Earth and friends are unimaginably more powerful than we are now. Jovians probably wouldn't even stand a chance and hell, we can barely fight them ship to ship.

i think the tech exists already. and the serum weapon was just a more compact doomsday that use isogen 5 to be more explody. im not saying we are right there with terran tech. but i am saying we are not as far behind as people think. we are still behind and would probably get our assess kicked. hell terrans could of discovered mirrors the only weakness amarr have :p

Except that it was quite clearly an incredibly advanced targeted energy weapon / electronic warfare hybrid that caused ships to destroy themselves with their own shields - not just a big explosion.

and where did you get the idea that earthling warpdrives at the time of EVE's collapse were terrible?

the superweapon used by Jamyl at the battle of Battle of Mekhios was 'Quote a basic weapon off a Terran freighter"


so tell me, that weapon was the Terran equivalent of a civilian cannon.


it takes a hole titan to do what a simple Terran civilian weapon did.



near them? not even close.

The "Terran superweapon" was probably either misused or militarized civilian technology. Let us for example take Star Trek transporter technology: Technically, it is for moving material or people. However, (assuming the target destination is not shielded), I would assume it is a great tool to dump some antimatter quantum torpedoes instantly on the place you want to wreck, at pinpoint accuracy.

I understand that what the superweapon actually did was to collapse the shields of the Minmatar ships, so we know that it disrupts deflection shield emitters (Minmatar shield technology - each Empire uses its own). As a side effect, it did kill Jamyl's crew. It was also effective against the Blood Raiders, so it also could disrupt their assumably Amarrian shield tech (linear shield emitters). It is possible that it is originally supposed to manipulate "force fields". Connection to Isogen-5 (which is connected to the appearance of the wormholes) and the site of discovery (reverse engineered from technology found close to the New Eden wormhole) woudl suggest that it may have been part of the equipment designed to keep the wormhole open, but this is just my guess.

I have not read Templar One, so if it sheds any light on this, then I am unaware of that. In-character, we don't really know about the superweapon, anyway. As far as the Amarr tell, Jamyl's just So Good at small gang PVP, probably. (Minmatar would have probably had just by just enough time to broadcast something along the lines of "it's the monster of Aaargh!")

Aren't the Jove keeping loads of wreckage around the Eve Gate cloaked to keep us away from it?

If it is indeed based on a navigation system and works by interfering with onboard systems (in all likely hood it would in order to invert the shields) then I would guess it works fundamentally much more like an EWAR system. On that logic adding the correct countermeasures to all ship's software should nullify the weapon entirely. It's highly unlikely that the "weapon" works in any other way if it is indeed based on a nav system.

Funny thing is to think how close we are now in real life to Eve tech now that we've established the Higgs field exists, and we know where to find Higgs particles.

Theoretical applications include antigravity, gravity based shielding and Warp Drives.
