Do you think there will ever be an Alien invasion expansion?

I vote Brain Slug invasion.


You can use all the same ships and avatars..just have to put a little green slug on their heads.

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

CCP quite clearly said that the human story is interesting enough and that EVE has no need of aliens.

Don't see that changing any time soon, bub.

Well said.

An alien invasion creates an artificial US against THEM situation. EVEs whole point is that human nature is US against US.

Beyond that, did anyone really think the EVE wormhole just collapsed on its own? A superioir alien race discovered the Milk Way and recocognized humanity for the dsease that it is and eradicated it. The EVE gate collapse was a fortunate side effect for the residents of New Eden. At some point (hopefully far IRL future) CCP wil need to shut own EVE, on that day the gate will reopen and every player will effectively be CONCORDED by the aliens in one last firefest with no clone ressurection.

EVE needs pink glittery unicorns propelled by rainbows out their &$#

Though I'd be attentive towards the introduction of reavers (yes firefly ripoff) type of invasion. Some secret science experiment gone awry, transforming ordinary people into mindless homicidal maniacs that bath in the blood of their victims as they eat their faces.

...oh and cowboy hats Smile

I'm in it for the money

Tippia will probably argue that you are wrong about this.



Tippia would post something with an alt and argue against the alt if there was no one on the forums making some contentious statement.



You do know that this is one of the most important techniques that us forum warriors use to project our cause right?

I'd go with eventually CCP hacking into Star Citizen and we invade their universe and take their stuffs. We then become the aliens.
Now there's content for ya.

Those guys are nuts. Pure and simple. All the clans are are nuts...Jade Falcon, Smoke Jag, Steel Vipers, Nova Cats, etc. They have, in the opinions of this capsuleer, become the extreme video game example of what happens when space explorers loose their **** and return many years later holding a block of c4 while claiming to now know what God wants them to do now.

They would be perfect for Eve. That said, be already have a faction in Eve that are super religious wack-jobs that have access to military-grade munitions.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

Connecting back with Earth through another Eve gate would be pretty interesting.


I hope no, the Earth is so laggy.

Great idea!
In fact the aliens should be bad Japanese cartoons.
Start with Voltron and don't stop till you hit the thundercats!

Not so sure about a bunch of honor obsessed communists (yes, for them everything belong to the clan, like a 100% corp tax rate) being perfect for the EVE setting.
Perhaps that would make them somewhat "alien", in their outlook, but not inhuman.

And we already have our freaks with the jovians, which even the influence web in New Eden has never been really explored.
But most of the potential of the setting has been left untapped by CCP, supposedly to not disturb the "sandbox", as if the game would be less sandboxy if the universe was richer.

These guys really have no idea of what a fruitful PvE is...

Once upon a time it seemed like EvE was heading to a big showdown with the Jovians. For some reason that fell off the map.

That was never, at any point, foreshadowed.

With the exception of Amarr's failed invasion, the Jove have never fought against any of the empires and have gone out of their way to create CONCORD and help them.

Do you know why the Jove exist in EVE Lore?

It's to keep you asking questions like this.

I would like ancient Talocan invasion on the unsuspecting Gallenteans. Imagine ancient ships emerging from the black monoliths and seizing all gallentean property, enslaving whole race with weapons that cause mental subjugation.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!
