So Explorer, can we expect to see the Jove make any appearances in game in the future.


The Jove existed back then to "explain" CCP members, they were all Jove, but for some stupid, boring, non-awesome reason they changed that. Whenever nickel and dime accountants get their grubby hands on art&design you know stuff gets boring and terrible.

So unless CCP learns to be awesome again, don't expect any Jove.

Hmm, really?

I still have a Jove fitting in my saved fittings. I think it is a Jove battleship of some sort.

I understand. There is a process here. CCP is a business and for a business to exist it needs to make money and sustain itself. It has to do what is best to make a profit, otherwise its just a charity, but at the same time this is a game so we and they (CCP) need to have some fun with it. I know its not just simply draw up a ship, drop a few lines of code into the program and wahla new Jove Ships in EVE. These things take lots of time and money, and hard work. And CCP surely has a plan, a direction for the game to go to.

I just wanted to leave my two cents on this topic. But over CCP thank you for a great experience. People might complain at times, but overall as a player of 5+ years I'm still loving it.

not all of the Jove ships are gone.

Theres still 1 that I could get to link it's pretty obscure though. ( SOCT 2 ) it's a jove frigate that reqs jove frigate lvl 1

And unlike the NEO commentators ( fozzie and rise shame on you ) I know the Erinye and Blade aren't Jove ships but prototype t2 ships that never got implemented :P


Erinye and Blade?

Google doesn't show me anything; do you have any info (Pics) of these ships?

Typical to remove outdated assets. However, there's no indication (and probably almost nobody internally at CCP really has a safe guess) on when Jove-oriented content might be added, if ever.

The tough life of being an EVE Online player is the waiting, the long, unending waiting. Where only few, brave capsuleers have lived long enough to tell.

IIRC some older players (like 2003 or early 2004) have "jovian bits", as in body parts from an exploded jovian experiment gone wrong or something of the sort.

That awkward moment at the Gentlemen's Club when you see your sister on the stage....and you're not sure where to put the money....

But we removed art assets and item types because we hadn't renovated these art assets.


Honestly, I think the model are all still absolutely beautiful. The only ones I'd ever care to see changed are the Frigates, which while very unique look quirky to me. As for the Industrial, Cruiser, Battle Cruiser, and Battleship models their form and textures are fine.

I would definitely love to see some kind of mother-ship art work introduced, even if it was just concept art or fictional combat stills from the Battle of Vak'Atioth.

I don't think we should ever be able to fly the actual Jove ships. It would ruin the mystery. Jove should continue to remain CCP's in-universe puppet faction.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Those diseased rats deserve to be wiped from the database. But I will take their stuff still.

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.
