By fixing, i assume they will nerf....

Everything is usually a Waste of time here on the forum, how often do CCP actually uses ideas orgining from players? rarely....

I would have to agree with you 100% because I am in close proximity to such groups...and they are not human.

The Sleepers and Rogue Drones can be considered Alien but in reality their design is probably based off of an ancient humanoid looking species.

What would be more interesting is if CCP created a new NPC Corp comprised of re-animated capsuleer corpses.

I mean with so many dead and life less capsuleer husks floating around the Universe someone would have come along and said

"Hey I can take the AI of the Sleeper's and the Rogue Drones and place them inside this dead, lifeless husk to create an army of undead AI controlled soldiers for my army."

Thus an alien species has been created that is not like the army of Sansha but an alien presence because the creation of such a life has not come as a result of human copulation.

you literally just described capsuleers, only some bastardized combination of cloning and Sansha "Citizens".

and the sleepers WERE human, mostly, theyre just borderline extinct and kinda screwed themselves.

Rogue drones are gallente made Skynet.


Basically, we HAVE alien-like life in New Eden, and keeping with EVE's theme, its all as a reult of HUMAN CONFLICT. With things such as Sansha, Rogue Drones, and Empyreans being the apex of said conflict.

The star cluster of new Eden is very small, about 50 ly across, not a lot of room statistically for an alien native species to evolve and emerge into space at the same time that the region is colonised by humans.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Why is humans the only species in EVE? Why hasnt CCP implemented aliens or geys of different types?

Aint the Space big enough? Is human Genetic supreme in EVE?

Jovian is a human Genetic spinoff Waste Product, ergo no alien.

Your definition of "alien" is annoyingly unimaginative and restrictive, to be exact, every "race" of human in New Eden is alien to each other, as they grew their civilizations on entirely different planets, Jovian are alien because they are no longer identifiable as human, with no cultural or historical connections to the "normal" humans known.

You really need to broaden your horizons beyond the star wars/trek "aliens are dudes wearing squids on their heads".

And again beyond that, why do aliens MATTER? What could "aliens" possible contribute to the story of EVE that doesnt DETRACT from the already damaged lore and "culture" that has been written to define the politics and empires we have now?

Reiterating once more for this thread, EVE is a game abut humans and human problems, like Battlestar Galactica, or the later seasons of SG-1.

And just because I feel like continuing, HOW would they even implement aliens? Star wars did it best, because their were aliens, but aside from some imperial racism here and there, there was nothing to draw attention to the fact they were ERMAHGERD ALIENZ above any other aspect of their personalities, they could just as easily all been humans. Once you start adding attributes BECAUSE they are aliens, like star trek or Mass Effect, you end up wtih VERY bland and boring aliens lacking diversity, as each of them is simply designed to be a laughably exaggerated aspect of humanity to make extremes in bad guy good guy identification.

Basically, either aliens added are so close to being regular people except with a differnt skin that there is no point adding them in the first place, or they are so different they immediately fall into the "us or them" category and ruin the whole atmosphere and direction of the game.

In short, once more, no, bad idea, waste of dev time, end of story.
