EVE General Discussion

No.

Humans are the Aliens. Eve is about Humans. that is what ccp has said for years. There sill not be Aliens, as it just humans being humans. CCP may change there minds, but i doubt it. so no, eve doesn't need Aliens, we are already dicks to each other enough.

Aliens don't have much place in EVE. EVE lore, such as it is, is about how humanity's screw ups come back around to bite them in the ass and how terrible people are to eachother. If aliens had a place in EVE, it would have to be something along the lines of primitive refugees that the human majority are being terrible to, or a nonsentient fungus that influences human brains to make them even more terrible. Ultimately an alien race shouldn't be a playable race, because they'd be impossible to roleplay as anything truly alien rather than just weird looking humans. You'll also notice rogue drones and sleepers aren't playable for what I'd guess are mainly those reasons.

And the biggest problem with introducing an alien race, playable or not, is that CCP isn't very good at keeping up the lore. It's already a random hodgepodge of inconsistent retconned gibberish. Adding a "oh hey remember that one week where there were aliens but then they were never seen or heard from again? Weird, right?" wouldn't really improve anything.

I do miss when EVE had interesting artistic direction, before they went all blando-grimdark, and something more alien would have been more artistically plausible.

There are Fedos.

The Jove are human, the drones are not lifeforms (although quite alien in the original sense of the word). We have no idea what the sleepers are - might also be human or non-lifeform leftovers of an earlier human culture, and the seekers are basically sleepers. So, yeah. No aliens here, but Fedos.

The only aliens we have our our progenitor Terran ancestors. I love the backstory of Eve where humans that survived the dark ages after the EVE gate collapse on several, maybe even dozens of different worlds across the cluster that formed their own languages and societal norms and even spirituality.

Having said that though, ingame open the old World Map and go to the west towards Syndicate - there's a 'Cord of the Elements'

If you right click on it you get this:



Alien life forms!!! This is probably just scientists being facetious but there are a few things in the game that exist that have similar stories that noone can really explain. I love finding this stuff it makes the world feel more alive. I wanna say I have read a chronicle about a planet that was colonized and the colonists died to some sort of local virus and is still today under quarantine.

Not to mention all of the famous fauna like others have mentioned in Slaver Hounds and Furriers and Fedos.

Eve Online's humans don't have much for humanity if that makes sense. We get to watch from a capsuleer point of view as they (and we) overpopulate, overuse, and destroy all the natural resources and environment of New Eden and Anoikis

I don't like this idea, and it's in the wrong subforum.

May god have mercy on your soul.

Maybe a better analogy is with Star Trek. Every series explores humanity in it's own way through it's character interaction and development

Spock - Kirk - McCoy
Data - Picard (friendship between LaForge and Data)
Seven - Tuvok - Neelix (also like the great debates between Seven and Janeway.)
Archer - T'Pol - Tucker
Deep Space Nine

I think a good rule for CCP for it's customers is Rule of Acquisition #39 "Don't tell customers more than they need to know."

I think that the Gallente have plenty of aliens to deal with unlike the Amarrians

Well, technically we are the aliens. We are not front New Eden. However, we do know alien life does exist in EVE. Long limb something and Fedo's are indeed alien creatures. Look at the number of planets in New Eden. There are probably creatures we would call alien there. But for things like Reptilian creatures and Greys, no. The Jove are close enough as they've lost most of their humanity to augmentation.

Now you want aliens, but then you will build walls in space faster than you could say: "make mankind great again".
