EVE General Discussion

Ok, so in EVE, bigger ships, warp slower than smaller ships, this has to do with mass and this makes A LOT of sense.
However..... small issue.

The way a warp drive works is like this:
You create a bubble around your ship ( warp bubble ) and contract space in front of that bubble, while expanding it behind the bubble.

This means you move space itself and not the ship, ergo, your ship effectively stands still.
What that in turn means, is that the size or mass of your ship, has ZERO effect on your warp speed, since you are moving space, not the ship.

You could be forgiven for thinking that, because the ship is bigger, you need a bigger warp bubble and would therefore be slower, however, bigger ship, bigger warp engine, it's proportional, so technically speaking, it shouldn't matter.



So in reality ( if we ever do make warp-drive a reality ) a freighter is probably just as fast in terms of warp speed, as an interceptor, only the align speed is severely impacted with the increase in mass.


Don't get me wrong, i don't want anything to change in game, but i did feel like pointing out this flaw, if only for the fun of it.

you forgot: the temporial diodes can cause an irreversible compounding flux gravitation field when a larger ship attempts to accelerate the power draw on the bilateral deuterium curvature calculations to compensate for the more massive catalystic transfer coils in the more powerful reactors

cosmoscience 101 duder, durr

Your family were in that Guristas Ferrier btw

Bolded out your mistake, the ship does not accelerate, it remains still ;)

I'm shocked - *shocked* - to learn that a game that treats inconvenient bits of real physics with elegant contempt also plays fast and loose with imaginary physics!

HE'S MAD, HE'LL KILL US ALL

You're taking his quote out of context, therefore you are wrong. If you had read more closely, you would notice that he's not talking about accelerating the ship. He is talking about accelerating the power draw on the bilateral deuterium curvature calculations.

Reading comprehension is your friend.

Oh, sorry - I'll head back to Reading 101 to find out about the proven and working bit.

Just remembering that my moon hasn't moved a centimeter since I signed up in... what was it, 2005? And that my ship stops in space when I turn off the engines.

If you're talking about an Alcubierre drive, that's certainly /not/ what warp drive in Eve is.

You can tell by seeing what happens when you warp through a planet.

This is what we call "lies" and "madeupium"
