EVE Fiction

But what about all the previously functioning star ships, stations, cities, etc. The Eve Gate explosion couldn't wipe out every single ship and station and city for a few light years, could it?

But when I think about it, if the ships broke or something like that, or a station's manufactory stops working...well, I guess then you're done. It would take a few years but yeah, I see your point now.

You mean fitness trainers, hairdressers, advertising account executives, and telephone sanitizers settled EVE? (Sorry, couldn't resist the Hitchhiker's Guide reference). Carry on....

To be fair you say it on every single topic you happen to wander in. Have you ever considered that we may actually know, but still can enjoy a good story or lore without screaming 'OMG MADE UP' ?

As a game, EVE must face necessary game mechanics limitations that cannot be explained via lore. That doesn't stop all/most/some of us to enjoy finding reasonable explanations to configure all together an universe with some sense.

All this seems to me like going to cinema, then in the middle of the film point atthe screen and yell that they are lying to you.

tl;dr I'm quite tired of reading your post over and over again.



Unthinkable for a species that is confined to a small planet. State-nations as the ones we have today would have been unthinkable when people could only horse ride this much for a day. And little realms would have been unthinkable when people barely knew the people in the next town... And so on.

The bigger the world, the bigger the smallest (yeah that's correct) unified entities will be.



And it was: For the first 4 ancient races (specially the jove). It just turns out that we descend from other colonies which with the EVE gate collapse went back to pretty much stone age, but in the meantime other empires rose and fell.



You are assuming that every colony had experts on all those things. Look at the expeditions in Antartida our days. Yeah, they are scientists, but pretty sure they barely have a doctor, a cook, and a bunch of biologists. What if a zombie apocalypse started rigth now? They wouldn't know to do ****, not without importing the correct materials, and not in an environement like that.

I don't get why, when it's said that there was a colony somewhere in EVE, everybody assumes automatically that it was like 10.000 guys, with professionals in every single area of human knowledge (I wonder why would somebody want to have a spaceship building expert in a planet that doesn't have a spaceship factory), more than enough food, and a warm and enjoyable environement.

We are talking about planets that, if very lucky, had less than 80 years of terraformation. Some of them surely were started the day previous to the EVE gate explosion. Anywhere they got stranded, it probably was a ****** hellhole with barely no oxygen, close to zero farmable terrain (but, who knows, a lot of yummy iron or gold), terrible cold or heat, and possibly killer native lifeforms everywhere.



It destroyed the terran jumpgates (and pretty much any other form of tech). You're thinking about the jumpgates left behind by the jove when they retreated to their current space maybe.

It's not even that far fetched tbh.


Just caught a program about Anglo-Saxon gold.


The most recent hoard that was found was crafted between 400AD-800AD. The garnets came from as far apart as India, the Gold was from Rome and Byzantine (Constantinople / Istanbul) and the blue fragments adorning knife hilts etc came from Roman Mosaic Tiles.


The find of ~$1mil, was made across 400 years.... during the course of which there are no records - known as the Dark Ages.

((Wearing stuff like this although there is no mention of a double eclipse :P))

Cosmic Extinction Level Event: The Gamma Ray Burster

According to current theory a Gamma Ray Burster pointing directly at a planet would strip it's atmosphere of ozone, wiping out most types of bacteria in the process.

Trace COSMOS and the Outer ring / surrounding locations of interest are too easily construed as a biproduct of some interstellar trigger.

There are about 5 possibilities that could account for the effects seen on the EVE Gate irises, in the Map descriptions.


How it affected the Timeline might be revealed some day.

From my point of view most of the topics I've commented in or brought up have represented how the fiction / lore / canon / tidbits read to me.

How about a cascading event? The EVE gate wormhole goes nova and disrupts the artficial ones in the jumpgates in the New Eden system that translate the severity of the event to the next system where it then also affects the other local jumpgates that then translate it further. For those who played Mass Effect 3, think of the Crucible using the Mass Relays in the ending cinematics. (I know the jumpgates in EVE work in vastly different ways but still)

We know that the ancient gates recovered by the empires ranged from utterly destroyed, semi damaged and nearly fully intact, maybe the damage they incurred is correlated to the distance/ amount of jumps between each gate, and in those days there weren't all that many yet.

The wormhole would have collapsed naturally, but the EVE Gate was basically artificially propping it open. Then things went terribly wrong.

So are you blokes at CCP going to leave us hanging forever about the Eve Gate, etc, or will there be SOME kind of lore, even a scrap, a bone, a scrap of a scrap.....A MOLECULE.

That depends on how well they were able to set themselves up, and what kind of technology they had to begin with - I'm seeing a lot of assumptions that there were any stations or cities at all, when it could have just as likely been basic settlements still establishing themselves with old technology. The ships wouldn't have to be broken, they just have to run out of the resources needed to run them, and without those resources from earth, new ones would have to be harvested in new eden to accomplish the task. That would take time. Over time, ships would stop travelling and the colonies would gradually forget one another existed.

That's assumption, not extrapolation.
