Everything zooming around at 2000 to 6000 m/s has never felt right. Its a spaz-fest. Would be better if MWs were scaled down 15%

No.

Speed has already been nerfed a few times, and it's about right now. Smile

So, what ship was it that was able to get away from you?

The ships speeds are fine as is. Not only that, they should remove web entirely.

the only ship that should be speed nerfed is the fleet stabber

The only speed that should be nerfed is skirmish boosts.

Sub-warp speeds in eve are actually fairly low by space's standards. It's just the accelerations that are a little exaggerated, like frigates which often accelerate at well over 100 gravities.

The fastest...

Don't look at the new Attack Frigs then. Shocked

Lore wise from what I remember EVE Space works like this. The Warp Drive is always turned on creating a perma warp bubble around the ship even in normal space which has the effect of making drag affect mass like in atmosphere, the drag is also what allows us to bank.

The MWD is the counter to that effect allowing high speeds to be obtained over short distances while the Warp Drive allows crossing of vast distances. If the Warp Drive was ever shut down the ship would move like a normal object in space, basically no banking and you need an equal amount of engine force projected ahead of you to counteract the force of the engine behind you to stop the ship.

Not fast enough ...

saw some maths somewhere on an old post, the fastest Interceptor travels at less than 11.2km/s (Mach 34)



Which is a very significant number .....

I'm pretty sure they did that when they laid off 30% of their developers

Naw, Eve combat small gang/solo combat is too fast-switch, reaction time dependent. If I wanted that type of multiplayer experience I'ld go play a FPS.

You do realize that your ship speed has absolutely squat to do with your or anyone elses reaction time right?

At what velocity is this "drag"? It can't be matched to the interstellar medium because then you would be pulled out of most solar systems at enormous speed. It can't be the nearest planet because then you would fall into that planet.

The drag is the warp field around the ship I think. Their are probably some Chronicles on this you can look at as well as the encyclopedia.

Just join the CFC. They won't fight unless they can bring at least 50% tidi. That should slow things down for you.
