EVE General Discussion

Impossible, as I have it on good authority that friendship is magic, and there's no friendship in Eve. Only deferred betrayal.

Probably a victim of the +/- 3km variance on the warp exit point.

Also the planets and moons are not real there. U can fly into them, then they dissappear. And when u make it into the center of a sun(grab a fast ship, it will take a while) u will get a spectacular view and a nice bump.

This.

I reckon that somewhere in the lore, possibly not yet encountered by CCP staff, i was found that, very early in space travel, the limitations of the human mind, having evolved in fluid environments, were not able to compute the trajectories and velocities of zero friction space.

So, very early on, space flight computers governed the control interface so that ships would respond AS IF they were submarines in water. This proved to be such a sensational invention, so popular with everyone, that this system of space flight control became ubiquitous. Insurance companies soon required it as a matter of policy, and that was that.

All this happened before the Eve gate was ever built, and since the Empire races achieved their tech from its remnants, they also use this inherently sensible method of controlling space flight.

Occasionally some half wit complains that he is a space lord, and not a submarine pilot, and hacks into the central flight comp core to make things "real". And then he spirals into a sun, or asteroid, and is heard from no more... because the human brain can't handle real physics.

The sounds are also part of the flight computer making things easier for human biology. We use aural signals as an interface to the world, and so the ship computer translates light and shock wave cues into sounds we recognise, and may respond to.

With regard to the star system bodies not orbiting or even moving, I dunno.
Maybe that is just lazy programming from CCP devs.

I would like to see a more dynamic space. like random comets, planets shooting through a solar system. heck even random planets colliding. super nova pls pretty please.

For a similar scenario I once had to destroy conventional astrophysics, the solution that I came up with was that the equivalent of sub warp engines are not rocket engines as we know today but work through some strange yet unknown medium. A medium that the engines are not entirely able to detach from thus causing the friction like effect that conveniently provides all the stability required for an action shoot em up.

Wrong on all counts.

Read the lore.

Each spaceship has special Tesla coils that negate gravity in the vicinity of the spaceship, it's THAT simple

Advanced Gravitics is a skill every capsuleer has by default.

I shall name my Domi Inappropriate Lack of Gravity.

Well, The star example is a simple example, Seeing as the planets are supposed to move I guess the noticeable examples would be everything in system as everything with mass is being affected by gravity.
