This will be short and concise, one of the things I've watched on the warp effects is that when this is started, the thrusters are turned to maximum, this creates the effect of the warp works with thrusters which according to the scientific articles from eve has nothing to do the warp drive with the thrusters.


My idea is proposed and see a warp effect on the ship regardless of the bubble effect that is created in warp.
When the ship start the warp the thrusters should be turned off, as they are independent of the warp drive. This will give the game a more "realistic" view.

What I mean is, does not have to turn on the "fire" in the thrusters for the spacecraft to go to warp speed.
Back propellers or engines are to propel the ship.
Warp drive is to launch the ship at speeds greater than light.
Now my idea is understood? Straight


This is my first post, sorry for my english.

please provide a link to the articles you read - any language will do - we've got google translate....

once I've read literature, I'll comment further

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

Actually, according to the scientific articles that relate to warp, the movement of the ship does rely upon the thrusters. The only thing the warp drive does is create an anti-friction bubble of depleted vacuum which allows the ship to achieve significantly higher speeds than normal.

Skip ahead to part 5 - "FTL Travel: How?" and remember that the author for some unknown reason uses "jump drive" to mean "warp drive".

having read - it seems to me that the engines ARE used in warp, the warp 'drive' is actually a warp bubble creator, which allows the ship's standard engines to propel the ship at FTL speeds

Rework the warp drive name, 'space lubricator' perhaps?

It should have been "FTL Drive Active" from the very beginning instead of "Warp Drive Active". Nothing is warped during FTL travel; not space, not time, not even Chribba's veldspar jokes.

i say "Sorry for my english" and you guys are very agressive i think. And i think too you dont understand my idea.

technically the space is warped by virtue of having something pushed through it, and clearing a bubble of space down to 0K (no energy at all) is warping it in my mind

Skip ahead to part 5 - "FTL Travel: How?" and remember that the author for some unknown reason uses "jump drive" to mean "warp drive".

The author also claims it takes years to bring a gate online:
Quote:
The distance between the two ends of the wormhole depends on the mass of the suns in the binary system and on what resonance node the jump gate is located. In order to connect two jump gates a trial-and-error method is needed, often lasting many years.

And that only one gate can be active in a system at one time:
Quote:
Secondly, only one jump gate can be in operation in a system at any given time. This is due to the erratic fluctuations in the resonance fields caused by a mass boson sphere; if more than one such sphere is active at the same time in the same system, they both become highly unstable and impossible to operate.


Which means that every single system in Eve that has more than a single gate is proof that the author has no clue what he is talking about.

I've seen this a million times, and I +1 it every time. Needs to happen.

You really think someone would do that? Just log into EvE and tell lies?

What people mean is that the warp drive does not propel the ship forward, it only bends space.

+1 for the KY drive.
