Maybe the terrans evolved to levels of digital intelligence and they are the sleepers. Which is why wormholes are the only way to find them....Wormholes lead to the milky way....

Atleast not right now. The stuff going on at the other side of the EVE gate ought to be a new game in my opinion.

It is, it's called World of Darkness.

You have any idea, how much time and effort it would take, just to design a whole new range of ships

Besides, as the history of New Eden is kind of a mystery, it could just as easily allow for another race within New Eden

EVE/New Eden known history in short

A wormhole was found, leading to New Eden

Earthlings tried to stabilize it and called it the EVE gate

Many races went through the gate, to try and establish new home'

Among those races was the Alliance of Small Collaborating Countries, aka the ASCC ( consisting of Iceland, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands ) ( yes i actually made that one up )

The EVE gate collapses

People are stuck in New Eden, with no resources and no means of collecting resources at a large enough scale

The fragmented groups form new cultures on their new home planets

Many years later, FTL travel is reinvented and the game has started

One of the groups was bright enough to bring the right tools with them, so that they could maintain their technological advantage ( that group of course is the ASCC, which we later get to call the Jovians )


Now, if this is what we know, there could just as easily be another group out there, that has either not invented FTL travel yet, or just has not been found before
Adding such a new faction to the game, would allow for New Eden itself to grow, simply by adding the regions controlled by this faction, to the already know regions
This way, CCP would squad 2 or more flies in one hit
1) Add a new faction with shiny new ships, that don't have a huge technological advantage over the others

2) Add new space that can be claimed by new alliances

3) Add more space to roam around in, to relieve stress from other systems ( this could all run on a new server in addition to the ones CCP already has )

4) feed the forum warriors with new idea's for even more factions to be added to the game in the same manner.

Earthlings are either all dead or more advanced than the Jovians.

I would say just as advanced as the Jovians, since the Jovians were able to retain their technological position after the closing of the EVE gate.

However they would likely have numbers on their side, unless they had a civil war and wiped the Terran Empire out.

If you took the time to read any of the back story to Eve Online you will notice that even the Jovians were scared of what the Terran technology could do.

Have you read The Empyrean Age?
A very good read. but in that book the Amarr found a weapon of Terran design which when fitted to a Abbadon, that could wipe out entire fleets and Titans in one hit. The weapon basicaly turned the targeted ships shields into bombs that detonated inwards and the energy then cascaded to the other ships near by and kept leaping about till all the enemy ships were dead.

There was a vid sequence showing this weapon in action as well. Skip to 1:34 for see it in use. [url=http://youtu.be/PKdTJjDnYzE]http://youtu.be/PKdTJjDnYzE[/url

It also left the pilot unconsciouse due to a huge neural feedback for a few minutes. Extended use and it could be permament damage.

I propose we open the eve gate, let through the idiots that keep starting these threads, and then close it behind them.

Forever.

Well their were rumors that a while back Terrans did manage to reopen the EVE Gate, but when they came through they got ganked in Antem before the Jovians even realized they were here. So apparently the surviving Terrans ragequitted and ran back through the gate, oh well.Roll

I would support this if and only if CCP made it a player activated event.

CCP should start by seeding ancient text's and parts of blue prints in hacking sites so players need to solve a puzzle first. Make these items extremely rare, hard to find and set it up so it takes players scanning the EVE gate, doing exploration, fighting sleepers, sansha and all the other factions to piece together the key to opening the EVE gate. These ancient texts and blue prints should be in such short run and there should be a finite number in the EVE universe. If they get destroyed there are less of the items and less of a chance that players are able to open the gate.

On top of that I would also suggest making it so you are required to have a specific module fitted to your ship to pass through the EVE gate otherwise the energy waves would tear the ship apart. Again have long lost tech spread all over new eden that needs to be found before people can make this module. This would have to involve reverse engineering and possibly some bad modules that don't work right. Have it so when you are trying to create this module there could be 4-5 variations that are possibly from reverse engineering. Only 1 of these different variations will work per racial ship, there should be no indication on which works on what race so you require a test pilot to use them.

If and once the EVE gate is open there should be Terran tech ships that randomly come through the gate. These Terran's should be more advanced then sleepers and sansha and should basically war through new eden. 0.0, Low and High sec. Shooting anything and everything causing mass destruction. Create a consequence for opening this gate which should have stayed closed. Personally I would suggest that they roam in groups of 8-20 battle ships and each battle ship of theirs is about as powerful as 3-6 of our battleships. I would also make the salvage and loot from these ships to advanced for our ships to use. Reverse engineering could possibly learn some new stuff from them possibly making tech 3 modules. But there should be major drawbacks to using them. If you could possibly even use them, if you don't have the right module on the right racial ship your ship does not survive the trip through the eve gate.

The final step would be if you do go through the eve gate and if you get podded on the other side of the EVE gate your char is instantly bio-massed. There are no clone relays there so there is no way for your clone to get back to a clone vat. This could be circumvented by bringing a portable clone vat in one of the larger ships.


If CCP were to do a EvE gate event take some ques from Blizz and their opening of AQ event back in vanilla.

I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees

Frankly, it would make more sense that earthlings discovered US. Then they would learn of the Goons and would send through the gate a OMFGUBRPWNRGODOFDESTRUCTION to clean up New Eden for repopulation.
