This new gate looks suspiciously like a supergate to me - the type they built around the original EVE wormholes (if I remember my lore correctly).

I would love to see these gates lead Terran space, with some new NPC or other such in this space. I would also like to see story line around what happened in the past, and what happened on the Terran side of the gate after the eve gate collapsed.

Also, we still don't know WHY the original eve gate destroyed itself yet do we?



The word "EvE" is said to be derived from the remnants of a structure at the Eve gate. Note that the special gate in the trailer has these v-like structures on it.

Note also the gate was being constructed in deadspace.

The "blue energy" of the gate - remember what happened to some blue stars when the Isogen-5 was ignited? (see chronicles). I suspect these gates are going to take a lot of Isogen-5 to operate, and possibly this is the reason we are seeing more "covert" mining vessels (and an implication that this stuff is not going to be turbo-farmed like moon goo and roids).

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

The connecting gate on the other side of the eve gate was called... Adam.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

I just hope they're not introducing aliens to EVE.


Oh this made me laugh... Haha... Yah...

So were getting outposts on suns...

We get surprise solar mining but not ring mining... OOOOK... I don't see the logic in that but w/e

Super gate turns on and fleet blows up.......... Ok ccp, lets talk.... Remember the aoe titan..... remember why that was a BAD IDEA?.... Yah... give me a ship with 300km scanning, targeting and firing range first so I can poke that thing with a very long stick ...

Overall it looks great though, just makes no sense content wise. There is the talk on the forums about making gates but... They don't wipe out fleets.

It was a EMP burst when the gate initially activated. Not really the same as drive by AE titans, plus it was probably just added in for effect. Which is what trailers are about, the shock and awe.
