I was taking a scenic stroll around new eden, when I discovered by moving close to the stars, I was not hauled around in a high radial per second orbit as would be normal.

Therefore, I need to ask the question, Where is the gravity?

because otherwise I can ether conclude that there is none in this universe, Or as to what seems more appropriate as all ships at rest come to a specific pitch, I can say that there is gravity, and ships have to use ballast and hot air to maintain their position.

Therefore, I have to say that we are not in a actual universe, but in an unknown "finite" area where the mechanics, constants and the abilities of us all can be changed at will.

You are drowning in a coffin inside a submarine that masquerades as a spaceship.

Eve is a fictional fluid universe space submarine game.




Your physics are invalid.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Umm, yeah, might want to get your troll detector re-calibrated.

Quit being paranoid, I expect my research is will result in a brand new type of weapon when I get the orbit physics working again.

The Eve universe operates on different physics than the one we inhabit, the fact that all of the planets are tidally locked and don't spin on their axis or orbit their stars should be a bit of a giveaway.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Well no, because respiratory arrest is the other half of what makes up drowning.

You're not drowning whenever you dunk your head underwater, are you?

(more words)


Other games took it all, so EVE does not have gravity. Also why worry about stars and gravity? I find more troubling that all stars look the same from every distance, be it 1 or 80 AU. It's like having a bright firefly splattered on the windshield...

Read the lore.

Don't take me too seriously though, I like to tease a bit on the forums, but that's only because I love you...

This being one of those questions that queries why something doesn't exist/doesn't function in New Eden as we would expect, it's almost guaranteed to be covered by The Lore... and if it isn't, it's space magic. As it is, I would love to see the day someone's space pixels get dragged, slowly but surely, into the heart of a red giant. If space-magic could only be so kind.

Well okay. The term was "respiratory arrest" and I wanted to convey the same idea without sounding like a tool, but respiratory arrest and being unable to breathe are not quite the same thing. So I did end up writing something stupid.
