Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.12.06 12:03:00 - [1] - Quote Bringing up a couple of points from the first page, but they're still relevant... Ares Webber wrote: Sorry to disapoint you, but there are no alien races in New Eden. It is a considerd a very young galaxy so even most of the temparate planets dont even have much life on them. The closest thing you can consider alien are the Jovians but also them are (alltrough geneticly altered) humans. Actually, there ARE aliens in New Eden. There are life forms native to the galaxy in which EVE's Capsuleers (and soon, DUST's Mercs) exist. What they DON'T have is a SENTIENT alien race. Every living thing is either human or a "lower" life form - animal, rather than person. Basically, not something capable of intelligent thought, and not something that can reasonably be considered as a playable character. And the reply is a post that needs a little more dissecting...

We're not "following" EVE to an exact point, but we ARE being thrown into the same galaxy and will be helping to shape the existing universe. That existing universe has established rules which we'll have to learn and work within. Which leads nicely to this... Quote: this is scifi... things like this can exist... the possibilities are endless. The possibilities for scifi in general? Yes. The possibilities for an established example of scifi with its own pre-existing rules and setting? Less so. EVE Online has spent 9 years building a stable, well-understood universe. You use the example that we don't know our entire galaxy, but you're ignoring the technological barriers to our own exploration of the galaxy. In New Eden, humans have been spending THOUSANDS of years - longer than we've even had a space program - exploring, investigating and charting their galaxy. Of COURSE we're not going to know the contents of our galaxy as well as they know theirs. It's possible, technically, that there could be a genetically altered group of humans who show up looking like animal/human hybrids at some point in the future, but for now, they don't exist in New Eden, and I don't think they fit with the existing aesthetic of the setting.
