Ships & Modules

You can actually view there stats importing the there code directly into your fitting window. I used to have it written down how to do it and had all the Jove Ships saved and even some unreleased HAC's like the Caldari Obsidian.

So many interesting things in this game like the 5th Titan class.

Everyone just repeats the "Jove is awesome" mantra.

No one every checks the stats and realizes that Jove ships are not IWIN buttons. The stats are from way-back EVE, and many ships have been buffed since then. Some of the Jove ships would have to be buffed just to compete with pirate faction ships. CCP could easily release these ships as "obsolete" or "surplus" Jove ships without them being unbalanced.

If they did introduce them half the player base would whine about their lack of super-awesomeness, and the other half would complain that they're still better than any other T1 ship.

Another thing about adding Jove Ships is that they don't have to make them better then player ships.

America and the Soviet Union have been arming unstable dictatorships for years and they always give them export models. Fighter Jets that don't have Afterburners, BVR Missiles and look down shoot down capability. Tanks that don't have DU Ammo, Reactive Armor and NBC resistant hulls. All of it made on the cheap.

Jove export model ships would be cool.

Why not open up some of those hidden back doors heh?

I will support this when the OP adds an extra vowel to his surname.











In other words, never!

Jove use laser weapons in lore. Mordus Legion would be a better choice for Cal / Min Ships.

I like the idea of Jove Ships requiring all racial ships to V and having no bonuses and equal launcher / turrets. Just great ship stats and a slot layout that could work for shield or armor. Not as a super expensive super strong pirate faction thing but as a pretty good Ship that takes T2 materials to maintain a good price or standard that takes a good amount of training.

A reward ship for training that is common enough instead of a super rare thing.

oh yah, throw another race in there with storyline advanced tech to balance. . .

Well, I had an interesting response to this, but the game deleted it and then saved a "draft" of my post that was nothing but the quoted text. Needless to say I'm not particularly thrilled about that given that I'd hit Post with the reasonable expectation that it would, you know, post.

That particular gripe out of the way.

That's definitely one potential source of Jovian ships in the current EVE environment. Two others are to either make them weaponized modern Jovian civilian ships, depending on the disparity in combat effectiveness between Jovian civilian ships and combat ships from the empires/factions we currently deal with, and finding older, outdated Jovian combat ships. These could be found in a mothballed/powered-down state in quicly abandonned facilities. Whether abandoned due to things like bio/nano-plagues caused by radical experimentation in solving the medical issues (genetic degradation?) faced by the Jovian empire or, for example, rampant assaults by sleeper drones let loose into Jovian space by experiments they conducted on/in wormholes and wormhole technology can be debated.

Another aspect of the "making them on par with current EVE ships" discussion is that if CCP doesn't want to let players find them whole hog they could be found in damaged/irreparable states, reverse engineered, and rebuilt to an imperfect but comparable to current ships fashion.

There are several fairly plausible ways to introduce Jovian ships into the modern EVE universe without making them grossly overpowered or even superior to a significant enough degree that the benefits to flying other ships are few and far between despite only a marginal degree of superiority on the part of Jovian ships.

of we had a jove ship it could kill 100 concord before the ship goes down and its posable to get to jove space by worm hole

nerf the jove
