Why what have you got to hide?

I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression.

i have not checked recently, but CCP had an alliance setup with sov on jove space as they were testing the new sov stuff for dominion up there.

The Jove are all but dead. What few remain have pulled into one system and began to systematically replace all Jovian space stations with those of the four empires. They are on the twilight of extinction and when they finally die, the Enheduanni will descend on New Eden and eat our brains.

There's two station of "Jovian Construct" type left. But certainly those are out of reach for players - at least when it comes to behold them in space.

CCP Falcon doesnt like the Jove

"Show me on the doll where they hurt you"

Plus when your in a system that is actually in Jove space where nothing happens so you say, we can actually see movement on the maps "derp"

So like after 76 petitions I still dont have a logical normal answer.   Fly safe and fly true and use your headset on the Loo

Its pretty logical to see that CCP will open Jove space, but im guessing it will be something else

Firstly over the years CCP have been downgrading Jove information and they have now moved there details to the concord libraries.

Many years ago Joves had been seen flying around but as devs and I think in the original beta there was some option to train Jove but that was stopped pretty quick.

If you think about it CCP will be at some point letting chars build there own gates so it would be pretty easy to fire up a link to the Jove system unless CCP had a big wall that basically had a sign saying

"DONT COME HERE STAY AWAY"

Which im sure nobody will listen too.


Jove space is like that big red button your not allowed to touch.
You know your not supposed to
You know your not allowed to
But in the end you will do

my bet is on jove space being reachable by playermade star gates, with some group pve content susceptible to pvp interuption. there will be special loot needed for some special ships/modules, similar to how W-space works.
i hope it's going to get more creative than that.
fun would be unkown system with fully randomised physiks characteristics, or other quirks ^^
for example ships are not steering where you are commanding them to fly but in the opposite direction.

What's the bet that Jove space will suddenly open just as one of the other long anticipated games goes live and subscriptions start to drop like a stone? ;)

Err... not very likely.

Even if it did open up (which I don't see a reason to), lore wise it should be empty, since the Jove are dying out from their disease or their war and have previously gone to great lengths to deny Empire space access to advanced technology. Heck, there is supposed to be tonnes of Terran tech floating around the EVE gate but the Jove have cloaked it all.

If player built stargates lead anywhere I'd rather it be untouched systems with maybe a little mystery dotted around to add flavour. Like signs that Concord have already scouted them and not told anyone or the dead remains of other, unsuccessful, colonies from the gates collapse.

Leave the Jove as they are. Mysterious.

Yeah, it's been pretty logical like that for 10+ years, heh. I think at one point jove were supposed to become a playable race for very high sp capsuleers or something to that effect, but I think that plan is long since sidelined.

Unless ccp is opening up the space with the new star gates and not oh idk, adding another region or more that we just discovered (which when then made changes and added black rise they said this was now easier to do) then the new gates will not go to jove. As my guess is you will either need a wormhole to jump through, or its going to be a one way trip to the new systems, which would suck. If you need a wormhole, then you would have to place the gates on a wormhole, and no wh's got to jove space.

Its more logical to make new space we have no idea about it, then to open jove space. But programming wise, it might be easyer to just open up jove which already exisit.

This explains why Garamonde has periods of "inactive" status. He actually spent that time as a thrall of the Jovians, and had his memory wiped and Jove-related skills removed, before they chucked him back out into Empire space. :p

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Lore wise, it's there. We just have no idea wtf is going on or if the Jove are even alive.

Mechanic wise, it's also there, but it isn't for Joves. It's where CCP drops nerds for tournies and such. I THINK they test some things live on tranq there too. Aside from that, it's really nothing.

Wormholes in the Apocrypha expansion didn't lead to Jove space, it was just as convenient then, to link into that existing space. So i'm not rushing to guess player-built stargates will lead there. Other speculation i've read suggests they could lead closer to Terran space.


I hope not, it will ruin the atmosphere of eve, I like being cut off from earth.

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

I think you have too much faith in these new games coming. only one seems likely to come, the other is bloated with more and more stuff by the day
