This one put a smile on my face...


Anyway, nasty looking structure there. I see possible docking platform on the front detail picture.

But again, if this is some kind of shapeshifter structure, it could be anything.

I've exported the male Jove costume from sisi- I'm making an animation, then I'll take care of the female one.

I'm still hoping this plays out that we can make permadeath jove characters. It kinda feels odd to me, that is CCP has been discussing permadeath, prolly since working on WoD, then kinda dropped a bit "oh this is just a concept" randomly at eve vegas, then have all these events start unfolding... i don't think ccp had a concept at all, i think it was the plan.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

If there's permadeth, I'm certain it'd come in the form of sleepers. Jovians have clones, just as we do- but sleepers have one body, are raised within the construct, and would definitely be shoot-on-sight (always suspect).

Please direct your attention to the small red circle. Confirmed Jove listening post or POS-like structure.

Also clearly shows the Jovian Directorate symbol in the top right and left corners, along with the new symbol featured prominently in the top center. I'm feeling more confident that they are some sort of splinter group of Jovian heretics.

Cue The Prophecy trailer.

May be sleepers are a Jove Navy creation.

May be those wierd floating turrets are a new type of gunnery. (playable Soon[TM]).

May be Jove will take over New Eden, or at least try.

May be a big explosion from over-exploitation of wormholes will destroy all known universe.

May be it'll be up to players tehm-selves to rebuild Known-Space with the abitility lernt (that CCP will give us) to build stargate.

May be i'm just goin too far, and completly goin crazy.

Nerdgasm imminent.....


I would speculate that the Jove structures become stations (notably these structures are static in their systems like stations) with mission agents but these "heretics" might be a new playable permadeath race.


I think CCP is hitting on a new kind of live event. Rather than like what they did for incursions, having those Sansha live events and then a release of "canned" content for incursions, they are releasing a little bit at a time and making it feel like an ongoing live event (as far as dealing with the unknown is concerned which was a good thing about live events) .


Nobody really knows.

Take a trusty cloaky scanning frigate. Use Eve Scout to get in. You can find updated connections on their website, and they'll happily scout out the other side of the hole for you. Once you're in, drop a safe spot (the system is massive so plenty of room to do that). Sight see to your hearts content, and you're on your own for getting out.


Thanks for the encouragement and advice. I might just do that :)



As for the rest of the topic, I am very much wowed to see the Jovian Outposts also finally being revealed. I cannot wait to see where this is going story-wise and to find out what gameplay implications this has!

I've been going through the lore and the sightings in Thera. I personally think the cause of the wormhole appearances and recent explosion may be caused by he soe. I also would put forward that the talcon are not extinct after all they are a species which is always moving on. The recent detonation of a star near Jove space most likely caused the cloaking fields to fail or some uplink data stream for command. There is still another faction from the first empire other than the jovians and sleepers missing from current events, one rumoured to spy and control from behind the scenes the Enheduanni.

I can't explain away the difference in design from the eidolon and the new drifter ships. One the weapons in the drifter vessels are different from previous Jovian weapons and appear more advanced, however the ships design is radically different to all current Jovian design philosophy's. So I would lead on to that thought with multiple factions of jovians either post collapse since the nova near Jove space, and older cryogenicicslly suspended faction from an earlier time or the ships may be the product of Jovian talcon and sleeper technology. This idea stems from the name drifter battleship something contract to current naming of Jovian ships. But more keeping with talcon ideology of being nomadic travellers. Also note the drifter battleship was sifted near what appeared to be a wormhole under construction.

On a final note the new logo on now.eve features three vertical lines united within and inner emblem possibly signifying an alliance or reunification of separate groups.

Any further ideas or speculation welcome

I am still hoping that one day the Enheduanni will not only be returned to as a story device but will also have an in-game presence in some form.

Their tech was supposed to be mind-bogglingly cool.
