EVE General Discussion

What on earth, No up and down ?

Sure there is, it's the movement along the plane perpendicular to your current heading.
The only thing is, it can only be defined relatively to your position, there's no central reference is all.

LOL Roleplay:
New Eden is a galaxy different than our milky way we live in. In New Eden, our known newtonian physics don't really hold much ground.
In New Eden, space is much "denser", and this caused much trouble for the first explorers already, as they were burning through all their fuel, else they would come to a halt. That's also why they never really got far away from the EVE wormhole, and instead had to build stargates to conserve fuel.

However, we, the main races of the universe, learned to live with it, and adapted our ship's engines to work against the apparent "liquid" of space. This same liquid also provides a maximum speed in m/s which can simply not be broken unless you go into a state of Warp, which deforms the dense space/time continuum by creating a zero-point vacuum (a true vacuum without any particles in it.)
and just as with air bubbles in water, air bubbles deform the water around them when they accellerate upwards. However, as there is no up or down in space, the vacuum can practically stay still in space... it's only thanks to the drives that we can accellerate that vacuum and travel with it through the "liquid" of space.

While space battles in the milkyway might be fought over millions of miles... combat in EVE is only a couple hundred km at most, thanks to the reduced speeds.

This same liquid also made sure there is a lot of invisible mass (called Dark Matter) which prevents the creation of stars, and as such, New Eden has only around 5000 systems with stars, while normal galaxies like the milky way have billions of stars. This creates a dim galaxy that our ancestors from the milkyway, probably can not even see.


There, is your OCD happy now? xD

I also think that I-War and I-War have so far had the best implementation of newtonian physics + space combat. The warp drive there was pretty cool too.. you could cruise at warp speed to any direction.

In Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters the newtonian physics were really cool but the space combat was hilariously difficult - it was like 2 ships connected to each other with rubber band and you tried to hit the enemy in a fraction of second when you passed over the other ship, then turn around and start accelarating the opposite direction (while still flying near light speed towards some station/planet) and on each pass the distance between ships got shorter and once the speed of the ships was matched then the combat was somewhat doable. Took months to reach the Elite rank. Such PvP environment wouldn't work at all in Eve.

Hey that was awesome. Thanks.

I guess we'll need to get rid of the fiery explosions in space, too, since that's fairly impossible in a vacuum.

Oh, and aren't lasers invisible without an atmosphere full of crap to pass through? No more seeing yourself shoot, sorry Amarr.

Oh, and since faster than light travel actually warps time, we'll need to adjust everyone else's game clock up a year or two whenever you use a gate.

Applying real world physics to a game, or the SciFi genre in general, where the physics and the inherent properties of how their alien advanced tech works is blatantly at the the whim of the content creators is simply mental masturbati0n.

Watch Star Wars; when a ship is severely damaged it starts to sink lol.

The OP is none of the following:

- An Astronaut
- An Astro-Physicist.
- Rocket Scientist

So what right does the OP have in posting such a whiny thread?

i got some lines for you the short answer of this wall of text is "ITS A GAME YOU KNOW GAME" not reality .If people get to serieuse the need to stop playing games.

If OP is a troll he definitely got you all really good.
