You don't have gravity? Huh. Shoulda bought one of dem gravity permits those CODE fellas are sellin'.

Gravity is in the same place as the lack of air pressure that allowed you NOT to EXPLODE
as you "casually strolled" about New Eden. Or...was that IMPLODE?

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

There is gravity in EVE it is just universal rather than related to object s like stars and planets and always downwards.

The other quirky thing is gravity forces ships and stations to always orient the same way up (you never see a station sideways or upside down relative to your ship) but the gravity is special and does not make the aforementioned objects descend, they in fact float.


NOTE: It would be rather amusing to see the tears if we got gravity and had to manually aim and compensate for drop when firing non laser weapons.

Every time you bring real physics into a fantasy setting, god CCP Falcon kills a catgirltalyst.

Please, think of the catgirlstalysts!

Yes, this is correct, it's called a video game.

EVE is not a simulation game. It is a MMORPG.

no Gravity ? than why do i hear voices in space there is no Air so the sound waves could travel and there shouldnt be explosions and in Phoebe the Max capital ship travel range is 5 lightyears do the travel back in time when they do this Long range in a few seconds << they should and why does my ship burn when reaching the structure ... and all these Giant ships we Fly without a Crew Operating it this isnt possible

I'm still considering adding gravity. Right now I'm content to watch ships "right" itself after warping. I'll let you know when I get bored and try something else. Like gravity or no suns at all.

than every Moon and every Planet should have Gravity and the Ore belts needs to dissapear since they would never formup in an unrealistic Halfcircle<(with nothing in the center) but as a giant circle around a Moon or Planet.... and why cant i has a Pink Fur covered Myrm and when Lauching drones i want poop noices and when activate the armor repper i want my Prophecy to Purrr and i need a Bastion Mode for my dragoon cuz when i wait for loot and paint my toenails i Die alot .... sry forgot its stupid and not a wish you what Game , be happy with what you got or search for a game with a more realistic Environment

In video stores, somewhere alongside The Alien and Avatar. Also, in Kerbal Space Program.

That is not correct, there is nothing 3D software likes to do better than simulate physics, unfortunately that has never made a very good action movie or action video game. Works wonders for suspense and people being at the mercy of the elements or lack of them as the case may be. George Lucas supposedly directed his space ship battles on WW2 dogfights, real zero atmosphere/gravity has some odd properties that doesn't suit such goings on.
However I'm not sure that all gigantic space objects need to be quite as passive as they are.

Your ships computer compensates for it.

Also the laws of physics are different on this side of the eve gate, we have friction in space and sound can travel in space here.
