I always hate it when movies and games say, "Archers, fire!" Arrows aren't fired, they were around a long time before any projectiles were propelled by igniting combustibles. You shoot it or loose an arrow.

There must be air in EVE Universe space - because we can hear explosions - sounds. So since there is sound in space, that means there is a medium we are traveling through and thus we are flying. P


The sounds you hear are only a simulation of what could possibly be heard out of the event.
Your ships computer simulates the sounds heard in your pod.

#CCP stated


Yeah....yeah....and I suppose our ships magically have simulated drag as well...no inertia.


The inertia is towards a ships own weight, not towards air.


Mass is how large something is. Weight is relative to the level of gravitation forces applied to the mass.

Inertia determines how much energy it takes to get this mass moving or to reverse its motion.


You are right my friend, just wanted to somehow explain to him that air wasnt a factor here.

Safe travels perhaps?


I also have a habit of saying things like "Good morning" or "Good evening" when such a term barely applies since I can tilt my camera and stare directly at the sun at any given time.

Social conventions, am I right?

But everyone knew that already, which is why this is a silly topic.

Actually there is air in Eve space... how else do you explain the flames from a fire.

lol nice one, but i guess theres oxygen already in the fuel mixture and also in the ships oxygen supply tank (i guess we breath ,... or dont we? o.O )

There's obviously air in Eve space, or there would be no sound. Blink

eve uses fluid dynamics... fluid is water and water is just compressed air. so yes you do fly in eve space.

in space, we act as submarines

were we to be able to enter a planets atmosphere, it would be more newtonian

that is to say, i would be laughing hilariously as people flew their space ships into mountains/etc for not knowing that your ship would no longer "turn on a dime"

also this is a video game, er i mean real life, so this is obviously an important topic

You are not the victim. Stop trying to pass yourself off as such.
Your topics are pointless and dumb. The very sight of your avatar makes people rage.
You don't change the way you approach the forums, despite the fact that 90% of us tell you to stop.

You are not the victim. You are a troll. And not the funny kind that everyone likes, either (ie: UnsuccessfulAtEverything, Erotica1, etc)... the terrible kind that everyone hopes accidentally breaks their keyboard and loses their job so they can't afford to buy a new one.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

To be fair, people likely used the word loose more than they did fire back in those days. Movies like to lie like that...

Here some facts.

1 - There is no light in space (needs a collision to see objects or you dont see it.)

2 - There is also no sound in space (vacum)

So no you can not fly in space. So whats the problem?

Ps this is in real life in games everything is possible.

there is so air in space, i know this because my pilot keeps farting, because in the cq their isnt a bathroom. how can something like a station be liveable without air. we need air even tho we are clones.

Clearly you cannot comprehend what you read and are also a bloody idiot - so do everyone a favor and biomass.
