What's this? My internet spaceship game about internet spaceships is not following realism and/or the laws of physics? WHY I NEVER! I DEMAND THAT CCP FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY!

On the side note I'm gonna log into my WoW account and tell every one that the game should be realistic and that shaking your ass this way does not make a meteor drop on my enemies only for them to shrug it off.

Logic would say it has to be dispersed or discharged into space somehow but good luck with coming up with a conductor.

If our ships are electric where does the fire coming out of the thrusters come from?

How do we slow down without retros?

Why am I in a yellow submarine with lazors of doom?

On a serious note though, how the hell to rocket engines cool down when in space after the prograde burn? There is no air to absorb the heat and i know they dont keep glowing red. Damn silly internet ships making me wonder about real ships. Maybe theres something there to answer the op's question.

Wrecking capacitance or the ability to store energy seems pretty straightforward: hit the target with enough heat and the conductivity/resistivity of the transmission and storage media will alter and cause dissipation.

Remote power transfer is also not to difficult to grasp except that it would seem to be really easy to disrupt as you would have to have some type of receptacle to accept the power, and the problems of hardening that would flow into the same issue as disrupting storage.

What really puzzles me is how you steal power over distance from someone and get it back. any ideas on how a nos is actually supposed to work? What is the transmission mechanism for the return power?

Another highschool dropout detected or your colleges encourage you to use wiki as scientific reference -oh my..

Anyhow, I said neutralized. There was no transfer of energy, it just disappeared, which brings up my question, to where?

You do know you are playing a video game, one in which chemical reaction fueled weapons which require air magically work in space (autocannons), where tings make sounds in space, where neutonian physics don't work and where massive things bump into each other and bounce rather than shatter.

Funny how you chose to make a snarky remark to a guy about high school while talking about a video game you have no mental grasp of.

Just so you know, Einstein, Wikipedia has actually been proven to be as accurate or more accurate than leading traditional encyclopedias,depending on the year. It also provides sources on articles so you can check accuracy and gather further information. Why dont you join the rest of us in the 21st century and stop parroting teachers stuck in the age of cassette tapes.

To your question though. Energy is the ability to perform work. Anything that prevents something from performing work can be said to neutralize it. It doesnt matter how it does it. It could make the energy contained in the cap inert, It could withdraw it and let it dissipate to space.It could even prevent new energy from being stored in the system( such as a car with a bad alternator). There are many ways it could neutralize energy.

Two things you have to remember: 1) The game is dumbed down a bit both to make it understandable and for balance. 2) Eve is set in the future. This allows technology in the game to be believable despite it not being possible in the real world currently. It would be like a cave man asking how you can talk to someone on the other side planet of a device that you hold in the palm of your hand and has no wires. His tiny mind cannot even fathom the tech used to make that possible, while to you its pretty much common sense.

In this case we are the cave men, and youre asking how you can talk to a person thousands of miles away on that thing in pilots hand.

The answer is in the most seen equation in the world, yet that few people understand: E=mc²

You just turn energy into matter, very much like any particle accelerator does: you accelerate some particles then collide them. The energy needed to separate the quarks is so high it turns into new quarks close to the original ones.
