EVE General Discussion

Define "We". According to your info you're Caldari.

I liked that docu.

Their technological level is pretty pathetic for space faring people. Their cloning tech and their ability to use jump gates/warp jump are the only real technological advantages they have. Sure, they have big ships and space stations but basically that's nothing we couldn't built too if we focused on that stuff and put a couple of trillion dollars into it every year. They can't get here anyway because they have no jump gate for that purpose and are too stupid to figure out another way to travel long distances.

And even if they got the technology to travel here, they'd just murder each other long before they reached Earth, given what a bunch of narcissistic, whining, greedy, deceiving, backstabbing scumbags most of them are. It would be fairly easy to use their paranoia and psychopathic mentality to make them jump at each others throats. Then bribe Goons with beer, dope and gambling concessions and get the remains of their invasion fleet blobbed to Hell. Mission accomplished, Earth saved.

So, unless they just pop up without any kind of contact before and immediately start exterminating the population of their mother planet for no reason, our odds aren't that bad.

Get them addicted to boosters.

You do realize a planetary bombardment is done from SPACE, with no need to enter the atmosphere?

And when you are shooting down at something on a planet gravity is your friend the bomb wont stop 50 km from target because it is to far, it will just keep falling...

*edit also on the main point we would be ******, period.

I doubt they would know how to deal with gravitational fields, orbits, ships colliding, being kited past 249 KM etc, etc.

Our world is very much different.

...

And they would also fail at cloaking their ships. OH NO I DIDN'T

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to Sol at 4.37 light years away.

One light year is 63241.1 AU.

Alpha Centauri is 276,363.607 AU away.

A Buzzard covops can travel at 13.5 AU/s at warp.

That Buzzard, equipped with a cynosural field, can make the distance between Alpha Centauri and Sol in just under six hours, not including acceleration or deceleration between warps, or capacitor capacity. There's some deeper math involved to factor in those - but it wouldn't take very long to go inter-system on warp drives alone.

You don't NEED stargates, but game mechanics and balance force us to. ... after all, how do you think those stargates got there in the first place?

Dude, dont you watch the movies!?

Theres totally a Megathron being kept sedated somewhere in the Nevada desert

I don't think any of the empires would be intent to wipe out humanity. After all, they are Human.

The Amarr would enslave us allowing the converts to live with some freedom creating a religious dictatorship to replace the current governments.

The Galente would want to bring us into their .'Federation'.... that is after the destruction of existing planetary government.

The Caldari would buy up Manhattan and all the major exchanges and rule the planet from there and...

The Minmatar would only be interested in harvesting all the duct tape from Home Depots around the world.

The pirate factions would be something else though...
