EVE Fiction

There are many theories, though what I liked to see, is the eve gate opening once again and the Terrans coming through it because they spent this 16k years trying to develop the technology to leap great distances like using the Eve Gate. I imagine they don't need stargates to travel anymore, so they spent their time trying to develop Eve Gate Travel.

Imagine in a expansion where the eve gate opens and they come through. All the wars stop to focus on the eve gate, They gather around the new highly advanced ships that reappeared. They open comms with all the ships and empire around the area only to say one thing. "We have come to reclaim what was rightfully ours."

That is indeed a good question. Considering the short time span that the EVE gate was open and how quickly and how far they got in New Eden, the Terrans must have had more advanced ways of travelling than we do. At the very least jumpdrives that don't require a lock on beacon or warp drives a lot faster than ours. It's the only way they could have gotten out there quick enough to build a stargate network seeing we need a gate on either end for a connection to work. Unless of course they had gate tech that eliminated the need for a partner on the other side.

It's possilble though that because of resource reasons it was just easier to still use a get network, so not every ship needed to have that jumpdrive or whatever. Could even have been a form of control. It's been suggested in Templar One that the powerful factions of those times kept strict control over the resources needed for warp travel. Planets were being sold for colonisation in New Eden afterall, so I can imagine there being factions trying to keep a measure of control over everything.
