I have mined in my home system for 8 hours at a time without one single ship flying through. (a .5 system).

Many times.

Bureaucracy, if you have enough money or power you can be above the law, it works in the real world as well, especially if you're the people setting the laws.

Once again this has real world parallels, look at the current situation in the middle east, and definitely look at Somalia.

i agree but its impossible to do. If you want more "real life" game play, well there is none that can tell you how it works in real life because we dont have the technology or "real life data for that". If you want more of real action you know 1 shot to the hull can have a deadly damage to every system. And no 1 man can pilot a ship ass big new York alone.

but if you want more "life" the can add it but this will stress the server more. Keep in mind more things is more data is more lag and give more problems.

Hardly a universe either. More a small star cluster.

More than 200 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy alone.

More stars in the universe than grains of sand on this planet.

Then there is our small map.

Ideas and features.

Where no one will read it.

Because no one should.

Because they actually use that forum for things that will enhance or balance the game.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

It does have a very nice coating of sh... err... matter! Bet the Aliens just love it! Big smile

[b][i]Eve is like the way that gun law equals a lot of deaths followed by a lot of people being real nice to each other, well, it would be if we all had our names and address posted on our character info! I wonder just how many players would still act like assholes? Fly safe, and lock your back door tonight

If the space crap is mostly meat popsicles then a definite +1
*Sansha ships would obviously be immune, the spikes would catch the incoming corpsicles and form a deadmeat tank.

As someone who gets podded often through his own stupidity in low sec I disagree. Surely if you think eve isn't dangerous enough then go make it dangerous?

If you want real danger in EVE, lobby for perma-death.

In the time before the scattering, a great tyrannical God-king ruled the universe. He did this because he foresaw the stagnation and death of his people. He monopolized much of known space, and handed down edicts by way of a violent mono-sex army culture, and crushed everyone that stood in his way.

He ruled ruthlessly and with full knowledge of his own death and knowing his legacy would be one of brutal terror, ruled as a despot until his last dying breath, whereupon his subjugated peoples sprang forth out into the galaxy, rejuvenating humanity with his death.

*pssst*Hey, not all of our telescopes are on Earth.

Also, we can look at most of the sky with ground based telescopes. We're just somewhat limited in what wavelengths we can observe there.


Comets are just really hard to see until they start sprouting that rooster tail (they're small, they're cold, and they have an albedo somewhat lower than that of coal. Shoemaker-Levy 9 had been orbiting Jupiter for 20-30 years before we found it, then it punched a hole in Jupiter about the size of Earth.)

Solar Flares are about as predictable as terrestrial weather.

Gamma Ray Bursts are not predictable, because we've (thankfully) never observed one close enough that we know what type of stars produce them, let alone what those stars look like right before they go bang.

Well, we have near misses on a regular basis that our scientific community had very little warning about. And even when they do know a close call is due, they often don't know just how close it's going to be until a few days before the event.

The last such incident a few months ago saw the asteroid passing well within the orbit of the moon... which isn't all that bad I suppose (although in realistic terms it was a very near miss) except that while they knew the object was going to swing by they had no idea how close it would come until a few days before the event.

This is not all that uncommon.
