EVE General Discussion

Yay!! Time to nerd out!!

*goes to dig around in EVE lore and stuffs*

If you are talking about the EVE universe, it doesn't have to be an actual fluid. It could be some kind of superfluid. The warp drives of our ships would create electromagnetic waves that would interact with this superfluid, explaining why we don't keep accelerating and why there is drag.

Strange, I always thought mine had a sort of pine taste to it.

Oh and speaking of pods, why is it my pod can survive the destruction of a starship but not a couple rounds of weapon fire?

The most likely answer is that the Pod has a short lived shield that would protect it long enough to survive the initial explosion of your ship. That is, however, a very different matter than surviving a direct impact from super high velocity kinetic or phased particle weaponry. Much like a compression wave from a bomb detonating might knock you off your feet and make your ears ring, but a direct hit from a much smaller projectile would destroy your head.

Now lets make sure we stay on his good side and keep it EVE related. Besides I love trying to answer these questions with either EVE lore or with real world explanations (accuracy not guaranteed).

Collisions used to damage ships... turns out the jita undock is a deathtrap.

My pod fluid tastes like gasoline... should I be worried?

I would pay a large amount of isks/body parts to see freighter/BS/Dread ramming the Jita undock causing spectacular amounts of damage and forum threads.

And yes gasoline is bad... you should see a doctor, or change your shampoo...

Only if you're in a minmatar ship. They tend to spark a lot... but it's nothing a bit of chewing gum won't fix.

I don't follow. Apart from the event horizon of a black hole, wouldn't physics generally remain uniform throughout the structure of a universe? There should be a center, edge, and outer region, all uniform by the laws of physics. My only logical explanation is a theoretical white hole universe, and possibly on another dimensional plane where the laws of physics could have been altered; time and space itself, manipulated.

So you have a black hole in this universe, that displaces matter into the exit - a connected white hole, forming another universe there. Surely catastrophe for the contributing universe. Theoretically, this other universe could be one-millionth of an inch away from our existing universe, as you could reach out and touch it from where you are sitting, yet nearly infinitely too far away to actually touch.

This would also explain why there is an "up" and "down" in EVE, as it is a lower dimension, possible a two dimensional universe.... full of tears. Though I only say "two dimensional" for arguments sake (to avoid), as our universe is four-dimensional. The one where our matter came from is five-dimensional most likely.

(btw this is all actual theory, I think generally apart from "lower" dimensional levels in it though that is not far fetched and I think explains certain oddities of time and space theory. It also fits well with the theoretical digital universe and the data structures on black hole event horizons and the edge of the universe being digitally reproduced/readable of everything contained within down to every subatomic particle.)

There's actually a real answer for that. Camera Drones provide the data that your capsuleer's brain interprets as the view you see.

Now, how are camera drones invisible and invulnerable?
