What does star trek have that all spacenerds love? 3-boobied aliens, green chicks etc ie ALIENS CUZ ITS IN SPACE...

Star Wars?? Freaking ALIENS!

World of Warcraft? Yup monsters and ALIENS

Lord of the rings? Goblins and orcs and DRAGONS

People when making toons can only be black white or mexican or asian, why cant I BE GREEN?? I WANT AN ANTENNA!!


Seriously ccp you want to get WoW level subs and attract those type of players like u always say.... GET ALIENS IN THIS GAME!! REAL ALIENS WE CAN BE! Not just humans, ots freaking sci-fi game i mean come on dude.

in theory there is aliens, we are the aliens here.

your misconception of aliens are skewed, they don't have to be little green men with antenna. Sleepers put them selves to sleep to live in a virtual world away from all that harassed them, Jove genetically altered their bodies. All for races of eve originated from another galaxy and then from separate planets after over 20k years.

Edit: people don't play eve because when they find out the consequences of death or of other actions they leave

Ewwww I agree with Carrie about something Oops

To be fair we do have pirates in spaceships which is quite unique. Can't think of any other game where people shout "Yarr gimme your stuff, pew pew pew."

It's always struck me as odd the only 'aliens' in this universe are basically humanoid or machine intelligences (who are quite literally brainless drones). Maybe our Fedos are sentient and just waiting to rise up and eat us then go joyriding in our spaceships?

we have them, they are called jove.

We don;t need non human origin life forms in eve. Eve is a game about humanity. We are evil enough as it is.

No. Eve is the highest subscriber count Sci Fi MMO that there is. Do you want to know why that is? It's because there are no green aliens.

Why did Star trek online collapse, get bought out, and go F2P?
Green Aliens

Why did star wars galaxies fail and turn into a ghost town?
Green Aliens

Why is EvE the most successful long lasting Sci Fi MMO?
No Green Aliens


Please quit trying to kill EvE with your ideas.

I, too, want scantily clad, pheremone-spraying green-skinned space babes in EVE.

For science, of course. I intend to spend many long hours in my lab with them.

I disagree. Aliens are not important. Dwelling on what you don't like instead of what you do will always breed dissatisfaction. I see the lack of stereotypical aliens a strength. but you should play wow...it has everything you are looking for, space goat aliens, green alien life, alien planets, magic, trolls, and dragons. It even has an antenna for you: http://www.wowhead.com/item=21801/antenna-of-invigoration

I get it. The same person has rolled a dozen toons but is so enamored of the finely-crafted avatar,
just has to keep using it over and over and over.

I do believe we found our runner-up for the Try Not To Think Award for 2015!

We must accommodate the idiocracy.
