3500mm artillery rounds take up 0.125m3 volume. I can only assume that at 3500mm in diameter, they must be no more than 50mm long.

I remember when I noticed this myself. I was like WTH, then I saw there was a rocket named 'thorn' and I lol'd.

They are dog tags for a SPACE SHIP, which I'm guessing is a large plaque or marker.

The volume of twenty (20) rockets is 0.1 m3.

The volume of one (1) insignia is 0.1 m3.

Are the rockets the size of an ant or something?

Also, rockets are two (2) meters long.


And rockets take up less space than a dog.

I'm no scientist, but I know bling takes up a lot of space in my cargohold. And that pales in comparison to CCP Guard's collection....

Obviously tags from exploded ships are highly radioactive and must be stored in individual containment units.

Tactical destroyers... I'll take a dozen Gallente, please.

1) rockets do not weigh less (from that info) they take up less space.

2) dogtags are rather large methinks.



maybe we could put rockets on the dogs collar, and egrave their names on those

Instead of an Artillery Shell, we have Artillery Discus.

Every dog tag comes in a fabulous crystal case with velvet lining.

Check out the size of various Passengers. There are some wacky weight to volume ratios on some of them.

The weight presumably includes a coffin-sized freezer for storage.

Female corpses weight 200kg go figure...

So if a rocket is actually 2m3 then a kestrel wouldn't be able to take a spare magazine. Also notice how additional items in cargohold don't increase the mass of the ship.
