I would suggest you put the mouse down, head towards the the large rectangle object called a Door and exit into the real world.


I should do that as well, because I read:

Well, considering that you can stick more volume into a GSC than the GSC takes up, and those are cheap, I'm going to say that they're space folding.

Anyone see a man with an improbably long scarf around?

Woo! CSM XI!

Yeah, this is something we'll probably get round to fixing some day. We should probably do things like buff assault frigates first, though, right?

But practice makes perfect, and that assualt frig buff is big and players demand perfection.

Suppose CCP could have an excuse for missing work, the conundrum of our densities broke my mind so bad, I missed work or was late.

You do realize we have plank bubbles right?

Has anybody ever measured the density of Eve devs? Twisted

Just asking, mostly for my lulz...

How do you do that? You take their weight, and how much beer they can drink before throwing up?

It won't compute.

So CCP will delete now all massdates?

Density of a developer? Which developer you mean? The Developers of Island, Atlanta, London or Shanghai?Bear

You need to consider where they are taking that weight measurement. P

... but yeah, seriously pedantic thread.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

even in internet spaceships, packaging a ship would not entail melting it down and pouring it into boxes. you're a doofus.

Ok, lets fold some ships ... hmm, lets pack the drake ... i think, they can fold this ships to a cube without airholes in ...

Drake
Mass: 14.010.000,00 kg
Volume (packed): 15.000 m³

So we have a density of 934 kg/m³ ... uuh, do the Caldari use plastics for their shiphulls?


Yes you ever wonder why the hull melts like plastic when the shield goes down?

Typhoon
Mass: 103.600.000 kg

Density of 2.072 kg/m³ ... its near silicon ... eeh ...



no its make from iron-oxide (rust)

also you fail to realise there is cavities inside the ship hence is low density when constructed.

it takes up less space when it is packaged because there is no need for cavities, such as decks, living areas, engine rooms, turbo lifts, crawlspaces for cable ducts etc.


remember an inflated baloon takes up more volume that it's mass would suggest it should.

Do some molar equations for things we build, even more fun!

Not very important to game play though :)

You do also realize that ships as large as freighters, dreadnaughts, carriers, or Titans would also collapse in on themselves in real life because such large, massive structures cannot hold such a form due to their own gravity, right?

It doesn't make sense, just say "Space Stretching Devices" and take a breath.

not true

the ships would be not completely hollow inside.... they would have massive structural supports to keep it all together.

think of an ocean submarine...... they don't implode despite reaching depths with incredible pressures on the hull.

Yes true. It doesn't matter what structural supports are inside. *facepalm*

At some point in size of ANY massive object, it will collapse in on itself into a spherical shape due to it's own gravity. It does not matter what structural supports you put in, it will happen every time.

Objects up to 100 KM do not exert significant gravity, and certainly not enough to collapse a spaceship that can travel faster than light (Hey, they have some resistances to physics)

Given that a Human tendon, pulled by weak muscles, can lift your pinky while overcoming the whole gravitational pull of the Earth, I'm willing to bet advanced machines that break the laws of physics can compensate.

and you can keep matter from coaelescing in a spheroid if you exert energy.
