EVE General Discussion

Whatever the math.. my point stands.. there are now no more dinosaurs on Caldari Prime.

I approve of Nerd Eden.

It is???
I thought it was just hovering above it since everytime I warp to the bookmark its still at the same position . lol
Guess I'm wrong.

oooh man ... that complicates things .
Now it could be at least 35,786 km above surface lol .
THERE WON'T BE A PLANET LEFT if it hits lol

BUT WAIT A MINUTE!!
If its on a GEO orbit .. it won't even fall down within 30-40 years lol

IT HAS to be stationary for the titan to fall out of the sky like that..
The orbit keeping space magic engine failed and then it free fall down to Caldari Prime.

if not , why would it fall?

The disappearance of suspension of disbelief?

i think in game that planet is much much bigger than earth,and ppl on it are big as elephants and they eat titans on regular basis. :)

and then the ejecta will give us a new australia .

I didn't bother to check the mass of the leviathan lol . me so dumb dumb

Cough* Caldari Prime is very unlike Earth Cough*

Caldari Prime

290 K Temperature
3.5e+25kg Mass
2907.7 g/cm3 Density
10,3 m/s^2 Surface Gravity
38.6 km/s Escape Velocity
646.36 kPA
30,217 km radius

vs

Earth

287K Temeprature
5.972e +24kg Mass
5.52 g/mc3 Density
9.78 m/s^2 Surface Gravity
11.2 km/s Escape Velocity
101.325 kPA
6,371 km radius

Also as someone else pointed out the entire leviathan is like 0.7% the density of iron. Also if anyone would like to count the amount of shots the leviathan took while getting blasted in armor and subtract that mass as those where likely antimatter shots. Then we need to figure out how large where the reactors on a Caldari titan and how much mass is required to to be destroyed to collapse the black holes Caladari uses for power sources (though I suspect its more of an explosion and not implosion based, that the containment is to make sure there is sufficient gravity and without containment the artifical gravity cannot contain the artifical mass expansion.)

There is also the question how much of the ship was floating towards the surface? What if the front end broke off and burnt completely? from the ground most of the rear end did not make it either and its very odd, because the leviathan is pointing nose up. Not nose in the dirt and with Leviathans normally being front end heavy well it would seem she probably snapped in half somewhere on the way down.

I do believe the air-pressure on caldari prime would have likely lead to much more of the titan burning up, after all in order to get more air pressure you need a FAR thicker atmosphere. Also while alloyed tritanium may not explode in atmo-sphere we don't know exactly at what heat energy is needed to break the bonds in the alloys to separate the molten hot tritanium into exploding with all the hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen in the air.

Finally lets not forget all eve ships do have a gravity core for navigation. while the phsyics of it are a bit wonky it does allow for the submarine phsyics that both star trek and eve online seem to like to enjoy.

Anyways I suggest by figuring out the closer density/mass to the leviathan by getting all the minerals together then all capital parts. Then whatever is left fill with air. Always pick the most massive/dense state of the materials though to hopefully not get the plank bubble numbers of an uncompressed universe.

A friend of mine once said "Every business needs a Science Department. I don't care if it's a restaurant, a laundry mat or a bowling ally. There needs to be at least one colossal science nerd there who gets veto power over all management decisions based on their superior knowledge of what is and is not actually physically possible."

Heed this advice, CCP, or you'll keep ending threads like this one until you feel stupid as your own word censor list.

So y'all want some hard sci-fi? Some really realistic stuff?

Truth is all of these things like lasers, railguns, projectile weapons, missile launchers, armor, shields would be completely and utterly pointless to a society capable of light speed and FTL travel.

As soon as a society is capable of attaining light speed travel, a mass traveling at light speed is the be all and end all weapon. AKA a relativistic kill vehicle.

In the face of that, all these other sci-fi space toys are the equivalent of fighting a modern war with an atlatl and a sling. Or maybe just your fists and teeth.

A 1kg mass traveling at C will hit with the impact of 10.75 megatons. To reach the estimated yield of the 65 milion year ago asteroid, a mere 10 million kg (10,000 tonnes) is all that's required.

/me throws up electronic warfare and watches you miss your shot.

While a planet may have a hard time dodging a starship would have no issue.

hmmm speaking of light speed , here is an interesting thought.
Would you even be able to see the projectile before it hits?

The projectile itself is already travelling at 99.99999999999999% C, light can go no faster .
So when you see it , it already has hit.

Makes you wonder why did they even invent the railgun or are still using missiles.
