The technology of EvE that was originally part of the EvE online web page. Im not talking about the code technology (Python rules!) But how things actually work in new eden.


Example - there was an article about why gates are where they are, they use the gravity well of the star and Jovian (gas giants) to help create the wormholes to the other gates, also the information about binary star systems.

There were also great articles about how warp drives worked etc.



/this is a bring back immersion post.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

You can find the articles in question in the EVE Fiction Portal.
For example, the article on jump gate technology can be found here.

They pay me to drive the damn things, not build 'em. I even carry a mechanic with me. I just did my nails.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

You want ore lore?

There was once a rock.

It was always a rock.

Then a miner came along and killed it.

The end.

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

Some of that Interstellar lore stuff doesn't match game play unfortunately, which makes it very hard to use as a reference.

Would you rather it read something like this?

"And then the jovian FC told everyone to sort by type. Primary is RandomNutjob420 in the Armageddon. The jovian fleet all pressed F1 and RandomNutjob420's Armageddon was blown up. The jovians were too busy asking for people to post the killmail in fleet chat and smacktalking local with cat gifs to see that reinforcements arrived. Even if the reinforcements hadn't arrived, the fight was over. The isk war was won, so everyone docked up. After a 15min bio and snack break, the jovian gate camp reformed, and everyone went back to watching Netflix and waiting for someone to pipe up in coms about an incoming target."
