Do you consider your internet spaceship a plane, or a ship?

Wel.. "Plane" is really short for Airplane, do you think we're flying AIRplanes in space? Where theres no air?

I think not!

Submarines. Our ships warp drives turns space around us into 'liquid space'

Uhh, retards, we're flying SPACEships. Critical difference between regular ships, which are wack ass joker machines. Can the H.M.S. Cold On The Cob ship of the line go 4km/s? Activate a warp drive? equip A Capacitor? deploy space drones? spiral around some sniping ship before getting in disruptor range and ruining the day of some idiot? No. No sir.

A ship. I command it, I direct it.
However, I also fly it.

I propose a compromise. Airships!

I fly a blimp, like the Hindenburg. It always goes bang eventually.

Neither plane nor ship. EVE ships doesn't look serious due to maneuverability of a leaf or piece of paper in windy weather.

Well clearly there is no definite category EVE's spaceships fit into. First the physics for the Universe are fubar. Second, a true warship would have various size weapons and not just one kind. A BS would have large, medium, and small guns. So these are not even true warships.

If these were like ships at sea, and you had a small fleet they'd have a large ship surrounded by the medium support, and the medium support would have smaller support beyond them. Like this...

Even if it were a battleship(like an Iowa class) it would have it's escort fleet surrounding it to protect it.

I do not think it would work like this in space due to the fact that space is more dynamic and 3d in nature. Ships like these cannot move in a Z axis. They are stuck moving solely in the X and Y plain. So we'd have to come up with a new system that incorporates all the plains a spaceship can move in(X,Y, and Z). Big smile

TF2 Pyro plays EVE?

Also we either have some horrible trolls....or some really stupid people that can't understand the question...

I consider my spaceship a submarine.

That's the physics of Eve anyway...Internet submarines.

It has probably been mentioned, but I can't be arsed to read:

We're all piloting submarines.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

I imagine my ship is my appendage, and your ship is my pocket pal. I just want to penetrate it.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.
