Came in with high hopes, after reading a bit took high hopes out back and "disposed" of them quietly.

To be frank, Mr. OP with the sicko name, I really doubt that many (if any) new players quit the game over the precise reason that you have. At any rate, I'm glad that you finally had your "eureka" moment which led to you ceasing to overthink things so much.

I name them all Lisa because they need braces.

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

Personally, I quit EVE several times between 2007 and 2009 because I just couldn't figure it out. Lack of direction those types of things. Once I realized that I have to make this game what I want it to be, I started to enjoy it a lot more.

However, if most new players are used to WOW, SWTOR, or what have you, then there is a lack of overall direction (especially in comparison) and they could become disenfranchised and quit.

It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.

Never had an issue with direction in EVE my ship always stays the right way up all by itself.

I have tried flying upside down to confuse would be gankers but it does not seem possible.

Wouldn't it be cool if we had the option to draw "vectors" from our turrets to see where they are pointing at a distance view, like on the tactical overlay, with their own range bars. We could see them "chasing" targets even.

Just an idea. Don't anybody get their panties bunched up or anything.

This is GD, and as of late, we are all about the bunched panties.

Including the word "math" in the title of your post is incredible click bait for me... However, aside from mentioning a x, y and z, I am still looking for the promised math.

I'm also looking for capital letters, mostly at the start of sentences. So far I found two!

you should look up the etymology of the word 'sentence'

and while you are about it, you might perhaps look up the history of grammar in english - or no doubt you would prefer English - as I suspect you are a speaker of the High German dialect known as American-English

But regardless, the etymology will reveal why the OP is not communicating in authoritative statements

Eve , Be the Villian?

the game where you can play as a horrific villian , hellbent on trolling, harassing and ruining others enjoyment of the game,

yet filled with taddling adults so eager to tell the teacher

Increasing risk aversion across the board leading to a universal decrease in content is killing the game, albeit slowly.

i quickly looked up turrets, they do have a "range". ok, then what direction are the facing? its all 1 dimensional points. they have the same angular velocity as my ship, not the last direction they fired. if i am going to hit my opponent with hitscan weapons, they need to be directly in front of me. i wouldnt do that because i thought my turrets would block los on each other. neither ship is turning, we are making a circle with many points. opposite of flatland, where the higher in status you were, the more points you had on your "circle", in eve, the less points you can make a circle in, the better you are at avoiding being hit, and being able to hit your target.

the "tracking speed" of the turrets isnt a speed at all, but a conal increase on the degrees to which i may hit my target, other then 0. and since neither ship is moving in a circle, but we are all making flatland sims, its far better to dcrecrease the amount of points you can make a sim circle in, then to increase the angles of the turrets. especially because turrets have a cap, and suffer from diminishing returns.

That part is incorrect, like, completely.

Turrets don't exist separately in EVE space, it's just cosmetic feature (also it provides some info to onlookers, but that's besides the point). There's only your ship. Yes, it's a sphere. Yes, it doesn't have facing, only speed vector.

Angular velocity is not "turning rate" of whatever, and you ship only has angular velocity relatively to another object. Guns are not hitscan, it's merely complicated dice roll based on such parameters as target's sig radius, your guns' sig resolution, angular velocity of both attacker and target, tracking speed of your guns.

What do you mean by "turrets suffer from diminishing returns"?

P.S. Did you think we were joking saying that EVE is not spaceship simulator but spreadsheets online? Because we mean it.
