EVE General Discussion

No, the Jump drive or stargate displaces Your ship. From starting point A to tartget destination B. Be it through an artificial wormhole or some other complicated mechanic is irrelevant, You do not move at the speed of light because You do not exist between those two points.

EDIT: Read as, You do not move at the speed of light, because, you do not move.

If You would actually travel someone could follow You or somehow discern were You are on Your travel between point A and B and intercept You. But that is not possible because You essentially do not exist until You rematerialize at point B, which happens instantaneously once the jump is initiated. Hence the word jump.

Also, the warp drive... Did I ever mention that I hate that thing? Some of the Ships in EVE actually move at the speed of a fast car. Yes, car as in four wheeled vehicle fueled by long dead animals and plants. -.-

But the warp drive, as someone else stated in this and numerous other threads, actually shortens the distance a ship has to travel by generating an isolated space time bubble... You can even warp through planets because the planet is essentially not where You are because it can't be because You've got Your own pocket of space time... o_O

So while it would seem that a warping ship is really fast, it is not. it's still as slow as before. only the distance between two points got shortened so much that it doesn't matter anymore.

Actually , no.
The so called "jump gates" SOMEHOW catapults you across great distances .
When we look at Evelopedia , it provides us with VERY little material to work on.
However , considering how our ships disappear from the starting system and reappears in the destination system in the form of a flash.
I'll say our ships were simply annihilated after our ship's quantum stated is transferred and reconstructed at a new destination. In such case , we are simply killing ourselves to be teleported lol
Thats not what we are talking about.

Where we talk about Faster Than Light travel , we are talking about the physical movement of the entity while within the same frame of dimension as we are in.
Thats why people looked at the proposed Einstein Rosen bridge or the string crossing.
(Which in NO way can it be so dense as to have loads of them scattered conveniently around planets and allowing pilots to make safespot everywhere. )
Those systems simply ride on a wave to its destination. However , thats not what we are looking for either.

Which brings us to the one last proposal .


In which case if interpreted in the context of general relativity, allows a warp bubble to appear in previously-flat spacetime and move away at effectively-superluminal speed by giving the ship a negative energy density, and thats why we needed the "magical obsidian" as stated in the OP . We have NO idea what would that sort of matter do when it comes in contact with normal matter because we don't even know WHAT THE DUCK it is????

The Alcubierre Drive allows the user to exist in the same plane of space , and thus achieving physical transportation without leaping into another dimension and other silliness . YOU ARE indeed travelling through space.

Now only if CCP have a science department so we can stop speculating among ourselves lol

I second that. some of the stuff happening in EVE is driving me nuts.

I am, as usual, distressed at the lack of any physics behind CCP's space games. What do they teach you in Iceland? Certainly not how to estimate crater sizes or decaying-orbital trajectory parameters, that's for sure.

The explosion happened right in the center of the titan, so while one end was propelled in the general direction of the planet, the other end is now drifting through open space. :P

But srsly, only 2 million Km^2? Styrophoam titan... o_O

News reports about what happened to the Titan:

Caldari use gravimetric cores, whole reason why cal navy uses gravity sensors.

Gallente ships use magnetometric sensors.

Did noone else notice that op based all his calculations...

on the wrong planet, in the wrong solar system, IN THE WRONG REGION?

Op used New Caldari Prime, of System New Caldari

However, the leviathan crashed on Caldari Prime (Luminaire VII) of System Luminaire

Time to throw out all your calculations OP, and redo them.

Wait wit ??????


NOOOOOOoooooooooo
