Go into a wormhole and FIND OUT.


Oh, and sleepers aren't the drones, they just built them. We don't know where the sleepers are. (The most common theory is that they're in cryostasis in their structures, or abandonded their bodies all together) Or maybe they're wherever that **** from the Strange Energy Readings anomaly teleported. Or maybe they're Sansha's forces.

I hope they stay away from aliens. Almost every sci-fi universe is fascinated with aliens and I think EVE has done a good job lore-wise sticking with humans.

Just exactly how many Solar Systems do you need? I think there's plenty available right now. The only part that needs to expand is the Factional Warfare systems that remain uncontested for a specific amount of time, such as 1 month. Uncontested systems over 1 month old should be turned into high security systems and another low security system becomes a FW system.

It depends if you believe CCP claim that EVE subs constantly grow. If true it will mean one day eventually having a million people online in a k space map that was made for a 2005 level population.

If you believe the claim.

1) yes

2) no, why need them? the ones we have do the job of setting the story

3) No, it goes against the core aspect fo the game which is HUMAN conflict. anytime "aliens" are added into scifi they end up as just a niche generalization of ONE aspect of "humanity" and are completely based around that across the species, where humans get to be "everything" (for example, look at star trek, romulans, klingons, ferengi, each are the embodiment of ONE aspect/vice with little deviation throughout the species), and because of this the entire story goes from "heres humans fighting because significant and interesting politcal reasons" to "ERMAHGERD ALIENS they look different they must be evil and they totally are because they are different better drop everything to kill the ALIENZ"

sleepers are thousands of years older than sansha, thats why sleepers make T3 tech, and sansha make something like an improved T1. Sleepers are just the last "surviving" race of the various "ancient races" with Jove being theorized as extinct.

Where is EVE going? Nullsec, apparently.

The Rubicon plan is to add player built stargates leading to a New Space. Those stargates where introduced as something that large alliances would do, which prompted some to think that they would be a nullsec only business.

Now, Kronos/Crius industry changes are aiming at, literally, making nullsec industry viable so they can build those gates.

Which means that, well, EVE is moving towards nullsec.

Despite CCP Seagull claimed that all playstyles are important, the fact remains that the only new content in development it's a nullsec only business.

CCP bet is that Corporation and Sov changes will make people move to nullsec so they will be there to enjoy the Jesus stargates and the Promised Land behind them. IMHO, that's highly delusional and will cost CCP dearly.

Q: Should we be worried? A: Nope. (...) Worry a lot if Fozzie, Masterplan, Rise, Veritas, Bettik, Ytterbium, Scarpia, Arrow, or even Greyscale leaves. Worry a little if Punkturis, karkur, SoniClover, Affinity, Goliath, or Xhagen leaves.

How exactly would you plan to expand High Sec?

Petition the NPC Empires to invade independant territory outside their borders?

Yeah. good luck with that

Lets just ignore all the awesome changes that have been made in favor of the highsec crowd in recent times. Lets also ignorehow CCP has just basically left nullsec untouched despite being horribly broken since Dominion.

Yes, with the player-build stargates, as said above, but with Goons instead of pandas, and you'll never see that space anyway, just as 95% other players.

No. In fact, they have removed all meaningful racial difference in attributes, making it a cosmetic choice only.

Hmmm... Wait... Oh well, I can probably see something like a "Starkmanir starting pack" for like 3 PLEX in the New Eden store - basically a new mesh for the character model and that's it. Other than that, nope, never.

And certainly no Jovians.

Well on one hand, we are all human so why would there be characteristic differences?

On the other, (this was going to be the subject of my thread if I had started one) have you noticed how certain personalities types gravitate towards particular bloodlines?

Having 4 competing spaceship MMO games (well, 3 + alpha version) EVE has only one unique feature: territory control warfare. So I guess dear CCP is going to exploit this theme for few more years - till more competitors arrive.
