Would be cool if we could make our toons outfitted with cyborg stuff like the drifters look. Nothing says 'Dystopian future' like mangled cyborg bodies.

Oh, and monocles don't count.

Please consider it devs.

Why beg to look like a cheap knockoff of the real thing?


Drifters. Scoff.

Because the drifters are what Eve toons should have looked like from the beginning. To date Eve toons have a 21th century emo like fashion. It would have been better to have the drifters made into 95% robot with only one discernible human part like one human eyeball on a machine face. Bear

What in Gehenna is a 'toon'?

posting in a not-so-stealth "can we please have Jovians already?" thread....


Funnily enough, I actually kind of agree, on some level.... I'd rather like to have a Jove alt.

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

You can let a drifter pod you and capture your corpse so a drifter can look like you.

No way they get to see me naked without paying first! :O

As these Drifter & Sleeper shenanigans go on, more character accessories in that vein is likely.

On the NEX store, of course. For 3510 AUR, of course. Pirate

I'm having flashbacks to 2008-9 when the Jove ships were still on the site and everyone wanted to know when we'd be able to fly one or play as a Jove... lol.

Seriously though, all for more cybernetics. The Lore is there in some of the older Chronicles (like the first one on Planetary Interaction), though I don't think we should just copy their aesthetic. Drifters are Drifters, so I'd rather see something in a similar direction but with a different overall look to it.
