and only ******* 2 million kilometers of area destroyed!? what the **** was that titan made of? empty aluminium?

an object that size regardless of the speed and with the expected density should have anhilated half that planet population just on impact i mean it was orbiting at well over 1000 kms, that planet being similar to earth would make that piece accelerate to ludicrously high speeds and with that density... JUST 2 million kilometers!? and cosmetic damage to some buildings?


dont you read the news, this year a ******* 10 meter meteor passed by, it just passed over russia and blew the windows of all the city, given mass increases damage on a linear scale, dont you think the damage should be way higher?


dude, 65 million years ago a sollid rock of stone, metal and others stuf hit eart with a greater speed then this titan could ever make with 1000 km of accelaration and this rock only ade a dent of 200 square km.

i mean compare the mass of that titan to the total mass of the planet, who is sollid to, and the planet dwarfs that mass and wins easely. the only reason whe are talking about 2 million square mile is because the titan broke up.

This is where I put my signature, right?

about the terminal velocity it was stablished in eve LORE titans arent really flown near planet surface due to the fact their mass would **** up the planet weather, could someone not with negative galente standings check the distance from the planet surface to the titan last flying point before blowing up? as to know which exactly was the terminal velocity this data its far more important since an increase in velocity will square up the damage done.

Here.
After composition of the replies of my fellow geeks .
Here is the answer to your question regarding the ACTUAL effect of a TITAN SMASHING into Caldari Prime.

As the Titan still has a recognizable structure in the Dust video, it must have made a controlled, shielded atmospheric entry...

Followed by a really really bad landing...

Even if it struck the planet head on... a Titan is mostly empty space and atmosphere for crew... it will crumple and dissipate kinetic energy within itself (much like cars these days do)

You'd still experience a "bad day" if you happened to be on Caldari Prime though...

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

Sh!t is all wrong:

http://impact.ese.ic.ac.uk/cgi-bin/crater.cgi?dist=25&distanceUnits=1&diam=1356&diameterUnits=1&pdens=18&pdens_select=0&vel=.06&velocityUnits=1&theta=45&wdepth=&wdepthUnits=1&tdens=2750

Evelopedia lists a mass and volume for a caldari titan, from this you can get a density. Use that to calculate the rest (avg size of object with that density, 1.36 km diameter) and then plug it all in. Density is very low, only ~18kg/m^3. A titan is essentially, mostly empty space.

You forgot to add in the anti-gravitic/inertia distortion fied generators that slowed it down


Meh, the titan got destroyed, no no active warp drive and no fancy generators, gravitic distortion fileds, shields or anything else. Just a burning hunk of metal and slightly toxic composite materials + maybe the slightest bit of leftover antimatter from unused/not yet exploded Ammunittion. o_O

BB northern hemisphere. Luckily it didn't fell into an ocean, the Tsunami waves created by such a thing can be several miles high... o_O

EDIT: Just read Raiz Nhell's post and realized that he's probably right... there's no other way to explain the largely intact looking titan structure.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

and you forgot the part where the engineering section of the ship that powers it, blew up and thrusted the ship even faster downwards?


Maybe you forgot the forward emergency engineering node all Titans have with last second inertia dampeners accelerators, of course Roll


If Titans had such great inertia dampners and controls, why do they move like a baloon when Frigates bump them?

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Someone webbed the wreck with 20 vindicators so it only fell at 20m/s /thread.

The Titan crashed into Caldari Prime but did not disintegrate...because of Falcon.
