To keep the mystery, because they're too overpowered or maybe because they are mostly all dead?

Essentially, they are so powerful (and so few in number) that they prefer to work behind the scenes and stay aloof.

They went into hibernation to stall the progress of the Jovian Disease and their minds live in a virtual reality.
Raxsus Lannister The Tritan Industries 15	Posted - 2013.04.05 13:29:00 - [6] - Quote Let me see if I can explain this. The Jovians are the creators of the capsuleer tech in Eve which was the basis for the tech we use as Immortal mercs. The Jovian are 3-4 feet tall with large misshapen heads(think stereotypical alien), and after several years of doing genetic experimentation on themselves has given them a life span 30-40 years.
Robert JD Niewiadomski Edimmu Warfighters Gallente Federation 40	Posted - 2013.04.05 13:31:00 - [7] - Quote You can fit "Jovian fusion powerplant" (or something like that) module onto your LAV to increase speed and torque...
BootStrapWill R.I.f.t 11	Posted - 2013.04.05 13:36:00 - [8] - Quote What I've seen it as, to break it down into another trope, the Jove are the equivalent of Marvel's Watchers, except uber short. They are incredibly advanced, but have a "strict" (it bends a bit) rule of non-interference in mortal affairs. The Sleepers would be closer to the Celestials. Uber powerful, and not so friendly if you interfere with them, but you can get some crazy loot if you manage to defeat their guard-dogs (Drones). To any EVE Lore masters, If I've completely butchered the intent, let me know. This was the first thing that came to mind.
Daedric Lothar Onslaught Inc 107	Posted - 2013.04.05 13:39:00 - [9] - Quote Joves are CCP's GM toys and are probably designed to ROFLstomp any corp whoever managed to dominate the entire Null Sec galaxy. Since thats never happened we have never really seen them.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 2387	Posted - 2013.04.05 13:45:00 - [10] - Quote Jovians are basically the best way of handwaving devhax. They're more than JUST that, as proven by the other posts in the thread, but that's a big part of why the Jovians were written into the story. Having an insular and secretive super-advanced beyond-everyone-else non-playable race means the devs can go out in their ships to keep the rumour mills flowing while not having to worry too much about actually getting hurt.

The Jovians invented the capsuleer technology, but it was the Four Races that married cloning to it. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Capsule_and_the_Clone The technology used for dropclones is Sleeper technology. It is WAY more advanced, being only an implant and not a whole machine that you have to climb into. http://www.dust514.org/home/item/sleeper-prototype-implant-tech-specs

Could be fun. "Don't kill yourself!" game mode. If you lose, you lose 2mil SP. And you have to play the game mode from once in a while.

I immediately thought of the sections of Black Ops, and Black Ops 2 where you had to fight the programming, and avoid killing someone by mashing Square. Not so much fun in my opinion. Interesting idea, boring implementation. If it was created as a puzzle system though.... you have to solve a puzzle to "escape" the suicidal grip. That I would play. Especially if it was formatted in that creepy hallucination blood trail mind-game from the first Max Payne. That could mesh with the lore as well.
