EVE General Discussion

Considering that players will be allowed to build their own stargates,
it is unreasonable to assume that it's about the terrans at all.

There might be a case for Jovians though,
but only if it's possible to actually point a gate at a certain direction.


:)

1. The gate structure was built to keep the wormhole open / stable. It collapsed anyway, and ****** over New Eden for like 20,000 years. See the Origins video from last year to get an idea of what it may have looked like.

2. It has nothing to do with the amarr fearing anyone -- the wormhole between "where ever" and New Eden itself is long dead.

3. Nope -- the one in this year's fanfest trailer is a capsuleer-created gate. Much like the stargates that you use between systems today (actually looks to be about the size of an inter-regional gate). The reason the empires don't want us using them is because up to right now, they've had an iron grip on us ... controlling our travel, our refining, our trade ... everything ... With the capsuleers now being able to create stargates, we don't need the empires at all anymore. They fear that we'll form our own "empire" and crush them.

One of the bits and bops left from the gate was a magnetic field inverter that was promptly weaponized to cripple a invading Minmatar fleet and it needed a rare isotope of Isogen as fuel.

Actually, it was somewhat larger than a regional gate, it could almost fit a titan through it, and that was just the central iris, the gate itself was massive.

When you take lore into account, it takes a century+ for a ship to get to a system and build a stargate, so that the companion can be built on our end, since normal gates cannot function without a twin. However due to the size of that gate, it may be a JUMPgate, basically allowing you to shoot a fleet at another system, WITHOUT the need for a twin, so that the twin can be built in that system afterwards.

This would mean the Amarr WOULD have a reason to fear it, as the empire's themselves CANNOT just jump into and claim any system they want, they have the long and laborious method of traveling there in warp first. So, this gate WOULD pose a direct threat to the Amarr, especially if they believe the capsuleers might find some Reapers (last part just honestly thinking about why their would be a "prophecy" of any kind that would require that level of action by the Amarr, short of a religious basis and capsuleers opening the gates to hell)

Which brings up a question, Would this be the first ever gate that would lead us into new systems not even on the map as is?? Would there even be a slight possibility of more systems to be claimed and explore??

I often wonder if CCP would ever bring in more systems and wondered if this may be some kind of vision on the yet to be??

Removed some off topic posts and a post discussing moderation. Keep it on topic please. Thank you.

The Eve Wormhole took humankind to another part of the galaxy. It was not connected to any nearby system as such, more a really distant and unreachable part of the galactic quadrant.
In 2007 ( incidentally Christmas time for us ) another 'bright star' appeared in space and was easily seen from every system.
Some information has come to light ( no pun intended ) that this was the light that travelled to us from the other side of the collapsed Eve Gate when it exploded, some 20,000 light years away.
Just a bit of info there.

Not that I would ever dream of dismissing anything you say out of hand, but would you happen to have a citation? I'm curious.

That's pretty interesting, Could you point me to the source of this information?
