EVE General Discussion

thing is, warp isn't really FTL. it's more akin to space-time bending. You only get the impression that you are travelling faster than light, when in fact, you're bending space-time around you, I think.



....man, I need a drink.

Next thing you're gonna say is sounds in space? Or how we see overview and brackets in space.

A "warp tunnel" bends the fabric of space to allow you to move at FTL speeds. This is also why you pass through planets and stars.

Not a past, because what we see now from across the universe is in fact past. We would see the universe aging quite fast everywhere we would go with this speeds. And ultimately we would see an end to the stars we are journeying to. We would come to a desolate space. We would see things becoming as they are. Quick journey to the point of actual state of things. Then on the way back we would see how these stars are bright again, on the same sky we see now. A travel in time "to the future and back to the past". But those would be only an images and states like on the film tape. We would be moving only past the velocity of the projector and film will be going on and on, on its own pace.

If were gonna get all technical about this isn't the hud supposed to be like the capsuleer looking at a screen?

So the ship computer could just be building that visual based on where you are in system and what the computer knows about the system.

If by screen you mean virtual interface as all information is downloaded into our heads and we are basically in our own virtual reality yes.

In theory you could stop for a second there to see how things are going.

Because theorizing is like unveiling something, predicting.

If theory is correct then the state of the universe we can calculate, we don't have to go anywhere.

This is true, watching them try and explain Concord in the lore, was painful to say the least.

I would think things would be a bit morphed visually. Or light you move towards becoming brighter while behind start fading or flickering.

The thing is, warp speed is ~FTL from outside of the bubble perspective, if you can see the traveler go by. And if you are in the bubble looking out from the bubble, sure, things would look distorted to some degree if you could even see out of the bubble. Originally when they put the effect into EVE, it was more correct, less transparent, but they toned it down after complaints. I suppose it's for the best in that case, since it is just a game, and not a hard to do adjustment. But still, it does distort, you can still see the effect in place.

I heard this somewhere.

It's a game.
