EVE General Discussion

i was watching a special on discovery chan that was talking about the Large Magellanic Cloud ...

Apprarently there is a mini Galaxy that orbits the Milky way. Would it not be cool if New eden was said mini Galaxy?

Moreover the distance between the two may be large but not one that could be overcame with time.

The Evegate explosion happened what like 10 000 years ago?

Would the Talocans (ancient humans) not send a exploration ship to see what happened even if it took several 1000 of years to get there?

Perhaps the people who built the sleepers are actuall remanece of that ship sent from the milky way to the LMC to see what happened.

FOR PR loor this could be a really cool arc and would love to see if CCP would use it...

No, EVE is real.

Star clusters are in galaxy right? Or are they two separate things... Like is new eden like the alpha quadrant?

It's unlikely to be the greater maggellenic cloud, as the ancient settlers recorded the fact that there was no known celestial markers or distant sky objects, making the task of locating their position impossible. The maggellenic clouds are close enough to the milky way that an observer would be able to triangulate their position of known pulsars and the giant black hole that is at the centre of the galaxy.

It was even theorised in the lore, that the star cluster may indeed be in another universe entirely or at a very distant location in this universe, so distant that the milky way galaxy is unobservable.

indeed. but perhaps when the evegate went boom its explosion could be close to a supernova and that creates as much energy as a galaxy the size of the milky way... i would wonder if the advanced humans would create a special brand new telescope designed to see this explosion... i mean you can still see the remanence of this explosion today.

i mean what if dark matter bent the visual light spectrum around this cluster? moreover AFAIK all the stars you see ingame are in new eden so you cant see any distant stars so it might fit that the cluster is in some sort of dark mater pocket created by the evegate explosion.

I once proposed that the eve gate wormhole crossed both time and space and in fact the eve end was billions of years in the future. The "ancient races" were just humans who got to the eve cluster the slow way, from Earth going from star to star over billions of years as humanity spread through the universe.

I based this idea from the observation that, at the time, when you did a "get info" on stars some were very very old, like 50 billion years old. That is hard to have in a universe that is 13.7 billion years old. My explanation of these old stars is we were actually in the far future, transported there by the eve gate wormhole.

I tried to introduce this idea into a abstract I made as part of the AJ project. In fact at the time I thought this was intended by the Devs to be a hidden part of the eve lore, an Easter egg that I had found. It got shot down. Oh well.......

"In 23346 A.D. a bright star appeared to the EVE cluster. The mysterious "Star in the North" is speculated to be the closing of the Eve Gate in the Milky Way galaxy. However, several capsuleer scientists have dismissed this claim, given that any light travelling from such a distant location would undoubtedly require more than ~20,000 years to arrive here. In late November of that same year, the star disappeared from the sky without explanation."

Spectral analysis and a red/blue shift study would have helped determine what was the source of the light and its distance right.
