Decyphering Login Screen Easter Eggs

Regarding the text on the login screen for the Warpath event: has anyone gotten them all? The only two I have are:

“Their power being mighty and their presence being potent, the people were wise not to look.”

and

“The strength of the Republic is the wisdom of its Tribes.”

Seems almost like a reference to the First Elders?

First one is probably a reference to the sefrim actually.

What really bothers me is the text on the trailer. Before each set of words is a set of glyphs - I know they are a substitution of our alphabet, because there are 20-ish patterns and some appear more than others - but none of the messages follow the same word length arrangements as their preceding English announcements.

I tried transcribing a few down, but it turned out to have a bunch of mistakes. I did notice 2 phrases both beginning with glyphs that looked like “S AKY”, though

Spookily, the glyphs highly resemble the logos of most Jovian corporations.

On another note, what are those strange symbols for nonexistent factions at 0:11? One is the 24th Imperial Crusade, but I don’t recognize the other ones.

Those are Imperial Navy on the left and Ministry of War on the right. I believe they are reversed (backwards) in the displays in the video.

I didn’t saw your first post about it and I digged in yesterday when I saw the new Capsule SKINR.

I started with the line behind the stargate and found:

Cutting out weakness fortifie(d) - their presence the people were wise not to look.

The (d) is hidden behind the stargate left corner.
Some part are very blurry and my poor vision can’t read them much :confused:

By the way, the capsule skinr “Forever Creative” inscription means “Creative”

I checked as well in the trailer, in some part of the video, the same line from the sefrim is there.
The rest is most likely a part of an animation because they do non-sense.

The part that is interesting, is from this chronicle, paragraph 4.

And more likely from the Epitoth:

Just to update here, we might found what was all of that Capsuleer alphabet going to.

Each sentences match the new Navy Destroyer released this week :slight_smile:

Good eye, and the update is much appreciated. This was a cool rollout of some ships I may get around to using.

so, does New Eden now officially get its own Aurebesh?

fun fact: those glyphs are part of EVE Vanguard game files


(some missing characters could be made by rotating those above)

prominently displayed on ubiquitous Upwell’s stuff

The resemblance is unmistakable. Did not know this was already in use in Vanguard. Since the Latin alphanumerics are already used throughout the game, does that make this some sort of space-Esperanto used by DED or something? Do the markings come from Upwell or are their crates marked after the fact by someone else like Arkombine?

Maybe CONCORD tries to establishing a common alphabet? We have no official word on that from FC London yet. Maybe it’s nothing?

I’d wager on it being nothing

And no I’d press against the idea of a ‘CONCORD unified alphabet’ thing broadly because of flavour reasons and the fact that universal translation software and implants exist with very high fidelity accuracy in setting for cheap even for baseliners, kind of destroying the need for a universalized alphabet

Video games have been using alternative alphabets of much this style for decades, all of which have geometric glyphs, i would just see it as an easter egg for lore-obsessed fans, but it’s nice to see EVE getting something like this

On that note, time to memorize this alphabet to decode all the random decorations in the next few expansions!

From the FanFest with the session about Vanguard, they were mentioning to relate in some way… Could it be the begining?

Only few ‘letter’/‘symbol’ I missed but they are really similar

I’ve noticed the glyph table from EVE Vanguard has a symbol that do not match what appears in EVE Online graphics. VG file was pulled from Solstice build i think so it could be a WIP.

For example, it has different glyph for letter T

compared to what appears in EO graphics for that letter

I also think there is no glyph for letter U and there is only glyph for letter V which is used in Latin for both letters.

Below is a “rosseta stone” from VG

You assume that the letter U doesn’t exist meanwhile in the capsuleer propaganda, there’s many place where that symbol is U.

The T is missing from that file

Edit: I saw the edit after :slight_smile:

Glyph for V could be used in place where letter U appears. Like in the Latin word Devs meaning God lol

yh, i’ve wrote it in a post earlier, you probably didn’t saw it as i replied in the same time as you

Yup I edited my previous message, timing eheh!

Actually no, the T is not right for eve online and capsuleer - alphabet.

Maybe it differs for Vanguard. But I am confident that the T and the U are in the capsuleer day symbols.
As for ‘cUTTing’ →

Do you have graphics with glyphs for that phrase? If so would you mind posting it in reply?

So it seems you are right and T is simply missing from Vanguard file
