I was just thinking to myself its quite amazing that eve is past its 10year point and its still running the original 4 races the game started with. No new race invading eve uniting the 4 in a common cause. Maybe they carve out a wedge thru null/low/high right where jita is. Causing massive trade disturbance.

Completely different ship design theory. Anyone wanting to play as this new race would have to start new account sunce their training skills wouldnt apply(more money for ccp).


Just a random thought whatcha guys think? Im sure there would be massive amounts of things to balance think thru but sounded like fun to me



Or it could be a temporary event. X number of players allowed to be in allien race at given time. Alien race gets pushed back beaten but participants get unique prize module or whatever. Spoils of war etc

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Maybe nomads who went to explore space while empire was being formed could return. They could return from the outer reaches in ships that use long lost technology. They could use a clan type structure with names like "Ghost Bear" or "Cloud Cobra" or "Goliath Scorpion".

Yeah, that would be cool. And original.

They would be reclaiming territory that was once theirs. Was supposed to be held for their return. They would have older and better in some ways tech worse in others. Maybe more focused on durability(long.journeys and all that). Or rather than just older it would also have evolved over time

Or

They were sent to explore another galaxy. When they got there finding no resistance settled entire thing now their back.


Or

They got there. Found the galaxy occupied and returned since they couldnt settle in that galaxy.

CCP make a Kitten race.

Everytime someone posts an Idea in GD or posts something without searching for similar threads, a Kitten get podded.


Please think of the Kittens.

Its hard enough to design and balance ships for 4 races. I also like games that only allow you to be human and not some goofy thing with a tail or whatever. I wouldn't be opposed to CCP expanding the universe and going all Mass Effect with it, introducing a bunch of alien races. But I would prefer them to remain NPCs.

Pandas can't fit in the pod!

Kittens, much more feasible. We could call them: Kilrathi.

Lizards clearly, because 'V' = 5th number-herp-a-derp-derp

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

The races look much the same and you can train everything regardless of race. It's not like we have Taurens, Goblins, Dwarfs, Undead, Pandas etc... we don't have huge visible differences.


You would introduce more ships with a 5th race but it would also increase the skill tree.

Added races is usually to stop players getting bored where they encourage you to play alts on the same account , games like WoW. As we don't have fixed classes as such in this game I don't see the necessity of a 5th playable race.

I'd like to see something along the lines of "the children of the Jove"
New beings to carry on the society and technology of the Jove.

The Jove couldn't save themselves so they created a new species neither prone to the genetic weaknesses of the Jove nor the stunted mental advancement inherent to the bloodlines of the 4 empires.

Only logical choice is Capsuleers converting themselves into sentient drone nano machine goo and 'infect' ships instead of using a pod. Groundwork has been laid out already with that lvl 3 mission line, New Frontiers, I think it's called.

New race should use ultrasound weapons; can't decide if they should shield or hull tank.

Hmmm..... "Sound" weepons, or "Sonic" weapons.... In space no less.... Hmmmm..... Sound weapons in an environment where sound cannot exist..... Hmmm.....

Fail?

A fifth race will have to have NPC territory.... What part of the galaxy will they establish their empire? Or are we gonna suddenly discover this empire and their race, in our ever shrinking galaxy, the way we suddenly discovered Pandaria and Pandas in WoW? That was seriously a game killer for me.

Watch this space.  New exciting signature in development.

Eve space generates drag; it should presumably carry a high-energy wave.
