EVE General Discussion

Hi, maybe it's a topic for out of pod section, maybe it isn't. Keep in mind that I barely understand what I'll talk about here (probably not even enough to say I'd understand it at all).

But I was wondering, since the latest advancement in physics, the understanding our brightest scientists are beginning to have about space, time, matter and whatnot.

How does EVE hold its own when it comes to ""realistic" simulation" of space travel and interaction (aside of the clichés, such as "there's no sound in space", thank god they still put sound in the game for enjoyment reasons even tho there shouldn't be)

if there are people who understand this (there has to be) and who are playing eve.

1. so how "realistic" is this game, is it "up to date" with modern, 2015 science regarding time & space travel?

2. this is more for the dev team, even tho they probably won't bother to read this (maybe they will), but are there plans to further improve the game in order to make it closer to what "real life space travel" could be?


obviously, wormholes are present, which, by itself, says alot.

Do CCP have actual science consultats? I'm sure many renowned scientists would be more than happy to lay down some serious math.

I have recently been to a conference by french PHD and engineer Philippe Guillemant, researcher at CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research) Marseille who is working on a perfect field (quantum physics AND engineering -and some other fancy stuff) and would be able, and possibly even willing to collaborate with CCP regarding Space travel and space engineering "real life" science applications.


as far as I've seen, Eve, obviously, is mostly based on materialistic science, now that we realize through science that there may very well be a "consiousness" part of science as well, it would be properly amazing to, one day, see consciousness oriented skills and gameplay appear in such a huge and complex game.

anyway, just a piece of my mind for those who may be interested in.

much love <3

Not.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find much accurate science at all.
Even down to the basics like it uses the physics of submarines rather than space ships, the ammo weights don't match the gun sizes, etc.

- Ships flying around at warpspeed without using any kind of fuel.
- Caroline's star seen exploding at the same time lightyears apart.
- Endless resources (Asteroid belts spawning at the very same place every day at noon).
- Asteroid belts' ores depending on the sec status of the system they spawn in.
- Ships colliding at high speeds without getting damaged.
- Packaging and unpackaging spaceships in seconds thereby reducing the volume incredibly.
- Storing thousands of ships in stations big enough to house a few dozen.

Those are all good decisions for gameplay reasons. But it's not science.

<--- Kerbal Space Program is that-away


We don't do science here in the land of space-gravy.

They're loose and fast with the laws of physics so not very.

I'm so sorry to learn all this. I thought I was exerting my deific nature in EVE just as I do in the real world!
Shucks! To think it's all been imagined. What will my followers say??

they shall say,, nik nik bokalota tum tum tum,,, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. ,,,,,,,,,,, pop!

just around dawn,, naked and very drunk nothing is real the moon is a hologram and the sky isn't blue,, it's orange. they just told us blue is orange. lol

"Yes sir, this ammunition will work for all your medium sized guns. from 180mm dual AC up to 720mm artillery!"

well for example, the movie "interstellar" is science fiction, but with a more "solid" scientific ground than Sci Fi flicks of the 60s

in EVE, we got wormholes, that's something already down in theory and not that far fetched from what science has discovered rather recently.
