I'm glad they haven't been added at all there the jove are op they spy on all four races so basically a jove would be a Madrugar with a blaster thats a scout with scaners that have a radius of the map.

Not really.....Jove would never make infantry combat units.....their population is currently primarily in cryostasis and the ones that are awake are physically probably not able to engage in direct combat with other ground based units.....

Also given Jovian technological superiority they would never need to take the surface of planets as they have their own space and probably no interest in controlling our own.

If they did make ground based equipment it would be suits make for 5 foot tall soldiers, unless they too use our immortal cloning tehniques and use nanite bodies....

Primarily use laser weapons, with shields and armour functioning far beyond any of the known races ability to replicate.

Actually...

GÇ£ThereGÇÖs something coming right towards me!GÇ¥ Thumgar screamed, putting the CLAW into full automatic and spraying rounds wildly in front of him. Vlad spanned his rifle left and right, desperately seeking a target but finding none. More machine gun bursts illuminated the cavern wall as the other soldiers shouted and fired their silenced weapons into the shadows. Just as Vlad took a breath to speak, he saw ThumgarGÇÖs CLAW inexplicably throw itself from his hands. The giant man appeared to freeze for a moment, then dropGÇögently, as if hands were guiding himGÇöface down onto the ground.

Then Vlad felt itGÇöa draft of air on the back of his neck that shouldnGÇÖt have been thereGÇöand reacted solely on instinct. In one fluid motion, he thrust the rifle backwards as hard as he could, and felt the stock slam into a man. Ignoring the strange sounding grunt, Vlad whirled 180 degrees to his left, unsheathing the KriGÇÖTak in mid-spin with his right hand and exploding forward in a lunge. There was nothing in front of him that his eyes could see, but VladGÇÖs senses told him otherwise. His left forearm caught something heavy on its way up to block an invisible counterstrike, but his right handGÇöclenching the knife tightly and keeping the blade parallel to the groundGÇöcontinued unobstructed in a wide arc until it punctured something thick, right where a manGÇÖs rib cage would be.

An ear-piercing howl filled the cavern as a Jovian soldier materialized at the hilt of the knife. Just as Vlad commanded his wrist to twist the blade, he felt something strike his lower back, and then all of the muscles in his body went numb. Panic overwhelmed him as he fell backwards, completely paralyzed. He did not feel himself hit the ground, but saw the silhouette of a second Jovian standing over him a moment later.

Also

Viola took a few hesitant steps forward. The Jovian was slender, and stood less than 180 centimeters tall. His entire body, save for his head and hands, was covered in an armored suit. She began to feel uncomfortable at the sight of those bottomless orbs staring through her.

Granted, 5 ft is technically less than 180cm (it's actually 152cm), it seems to be odd wording if it was meant to portray the Jove as midgets.

Personally, I think CCP has redacted the original lore entry on the Jove over the years.

Personally, I think CCP has redacted the original lore entry on the Jove over the years. That first excerpt makes them sound like the Predator and now I want to play a good Predator game, damn it I'll start my own war, with hookers, and blackjack! In fact forget the war and the blackjack.
