EVE General Discussion

I haven't toured all of low sec space yet but I am wondering had eve left behind signs of mankind's glorious extermination of all sentient life during the first colonization era?

There was no sentient life. Sentient Aliens don't exist in Eve. Only Alien Plants and Animals.

Nothing stopping you from RPing your own Idea on this though. Like maybe there were stone aged level sentient ape people but they were very aggressive and murderous, so they did not register on sentient tests and thus were wiped out as a dangerous pest.

This is more a meta reply, but EVE's premisse is that mankind is the only sentient life-form, no other intelligent space-faring aliens to be found. Considering how other space-games go, this is actually a very creative & out-the-box approach for a large scale space game.

But as mentioned above, one can roleplay some stone age non-human civs, as that wouldn't be too out of scope for the game (after all, we do have some very smart animals on Earth right now, complete with societies) & would help us to raise & answer the question: 'When can an animal be considered sentient enough to be a civilisation?'

Beyond that? Don't expect to get taken too serious.
