CAM/P must be running low on drama material to need to resort to the old "why physics not right in fluid universe space submarine game??!!?!" thread topic.






Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Last time I checked, gases were considered fluids.

Seems a lot of hot air around here ;)

EVE uses a fluidic physics model, that's all. Drag exists in this universe.

That's why Minmatar ships are the most technologically advanced of all. They can fly through the fluid at tremendous speeds, but never lose any of their fragile solar sails or spiky antenna thingies.

Another fact: The game doesn't represent it, but every ship has a swim bladder, like a fish. It gives the ship neutral buoyancy, so they won't float up or sink down in the fluid. There was once a thread in Features & Ideas asking for swim bladder damage effects to be added to the game. Some people even wanted bladder buoyancy control added, for an extra dimension of ship-handling in PVP. But unfortunately, the ideas didn't go anywhere. Blink

Because there's no gravity?


There is unless every thing somehow has no mass.

Why dont my spaceship keep going at like 2km a sec when i turn off my microwarp drive?

Thanks

The best answer I've heard:

Warp drives create drag. They anchor you in space.
Warp drives are always on and cannot be turned off without exploding.
Therefore when you're traveling at sublight speed you're always fighting against the force of warp drag.

Not a forum alt.

Or a simpler explanation:

CONCORD mandates that all ships operate with Inertial Dampening. Meaning that unless a force is being applied by the engines, the ship will slow down, and ships are restricted to a maximum velocity.

This makes sure that CONCORD can always catch every ship.

Virtually speaking? Newton didn't own a computer. Had he played computer games he'd have revised all his laws.

There just isn't anything that can be said!

And my professor is now talking about fluid resistance and terminal speed and then low speed fluid friction.

I think that "submarine phyaics" is still wrong.

Its not underwater physics either according to my professor

Uhm, people tend to learn and retain information better if they're not distracted, i.e. posting on web forums during class is probably not the best way to spend your academic time and money.

Dear OP,

You need to also consider the possibility that New Eden is based from a different universe, with accompanying different universal constants. That the Eve gate took people far further than simply to another region of space from where earth was once located.

As a result. - Newton's laws do not apply here because he was -NOT- born here. Nor Einstein's teachings or those of Mr. Hawking.

Its a video game. Not real life.

Ask your professor about the concept of beaming your conciousness at the point of death several thousand light years across the galaxy in a nanosecond and watch his head explode.
