This is from h2g2 about Los McMaster Bujold:

Quote:
Lois McMaster Bujold is a Hugo and Nebula award-winning science
fiction and fantasy author. Most of her books are set in the Wormhole
Nexus, a multi-planetary civilisation with faster-than light travel
achieved through "wormhole jumps". There are no aliens in this
universe, but there are many cases of extensively genetically modified
humans, such as the quaddies who have four arms and were created to
live out their lives in space. Bujold has said that this was a deliberate choice of hers - rather than having lots of aliens, she plans for humans to modify themselves so that eventually the aliens will be us.


Eve reminds me of Lois' wormhole books and the reasoning behind aliens stands well in EVE too with Jove and all. These books are fantastic by the way and should be read.

If there were aliens in Eve, I for one would nuke them from orbit. It would be the only way to be sure.

I'm going looking for intelligent life now...

Cause there ain't any here :)

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

I like the idea, the closest thing we got to aliens are slaver hounds and those furrier things that the rich like to keep as lap pets (that I drop-kick).

The architects and their wardens should be alien enough. Probably more alien then the Jove.

Then you have the drones and Sansha.


I'd love to see CCP do something with the architects and their wardens.

Speaking only for myself, it's actually refreshing that there are no aliens in the vein the OP would like. As I've gotten older, nothing is a bigger turn-off than ridged forehead "aliens" who roughly resemble some human culture, while the "humans" in-universe appear to have forgotten their own past and continuously refer to how "different" the "aliens" are.

I have to agree with centaur about how unrealistic it is to leave out sentient aliens. More advanced, less advanced, it doesn't matter. It just doesn't make sense to me how, against all odds, an entire galaxy of humans with technology from the the twenty-three thousandth millennium hasn't even made contact with another sentient life form.
I recall reading in an ambulation article that CCP wanted eve to be the ultimate sci-fi immersion experience. I've been reading lately that CCP has excluded sentient aliens on purpose and that many people find the idea cliche. Anyone else *smell* the dissonance?

Bottom line: If it's still one of the main goals of CCP to make eve the 'ultimate sci-fi immersion experience' then non-human sentients are inevitable. (though it may be ten or twenty years from now)

Don't you get it? Gallente are the aliens.

In the Lore we left Earth, so we could have more resources, and could stop being poor all the time. Meeting aliens, would mean we would have to share the resources and go back to being poor all the time. Why we are lucky enough not to meet any aliens.
