EVE General Discussion

The engine one was answered, those 'engines' you see are just exhast vents from whatever equipment and its best to have those venting behind the ship instead of into the flight path.

The device responsible for motion is agravity pull drive and have to be constantly on the more pull the create the harder it becomes to maintain the pull thus the submarine mechancis and why the ship stops when its you stop pusing the pull drive. Thankfully the drive doubles up as the inertia compensator as well.

Warping has been explained as stepping out of reality to break some laws that are impossible to break in our reality, apperantly we make a massive gravity bubble that rips though normal space frabic to circumvent into a similar space to ours without any of the mass we normally see there existing in that plane of reality.

Plank bubbles that mass is only taken into consideration for storage and transports. Its why you get an implosion error anytime you try to shove a can into another can.

Birds and the bees.

/em Scratches back of the head,
yup they're still there I can certainly see and feel them my character slowly stops at the implant spots too from where I could have easily seen it before I grew my hair out.

The reappearing resources - from asteroids to moon goo to NPC pirates, is probably one of the biggest inconsistencies I can figure.

It also flies into the face of what many people say that this game is supposed to be all about: PVP and interaction with other players.

Look into world history, and you can boil most of the conflicts from civil wars to world wars down to one thing: scarcity. Conflict comes from scarcity or as a means to prevent it if a resource is recognized as finite.

Now, the endless supply of moon goo and rocks denies the element of scarcity, and lo and behold, 0.0 is all blued up while high sec is a care festival.

Also, the lack of the scarcity element is what facilitates the super-blob warfare problem often referred to about this game. Imagine if every steel mine had unlimited ore, and every country could therefore have the biggest navies they could put together? Even the "super powers" have limitations. I recall that in the 1970s the CIA had to set up a front company to buy much needed titanium for fighter jets from the then Soviet-controlled Russia.

The second "unlimited resource" is related: ISK. Once more, because of bounties and missions. There is no limit to missions and you would think that an organization like the Serpentis or Guristas would eventually figure out that they are just losing ships in every belt they send ship to - and what do they do when they are there? Nothing.


The permanent and never-ending resource pump is the one thing that has made this game what it is today, such elements of things regarding the blob-warfare, ISK-snatching, and NAPed up 0.0 space that almost everybody complains about, is the one main inconsistency that comprised a 50 lb tumor in a 20 lb dog.

Fix this inconsistency, then the game gets to be all about PVP just like everybody keeps saying it should be.


And for all those racking up the ISK (for no reason) and for all those who are sitting on their moon goo enterprises and cap fleets (for no reason) who would howl and cry about it: bye.

Why are all stargates 50000 times HEAVIER than the sun? This doesn't make any sense. Considering the volume of your average stargate, it is so dense it can't actually physically exist as it is.

[NB: I did the math.]

Why?

capsuleer ships have very little crew. They also sign a "yep, my life is worthless" agreement with the capsuleer.



think it has something to do with the (artificial) wormhole that they generate whilst active.

Armor tanking ships having big gaping holes in their armor, like the apoc and prophecy hulls.

Local.

Heat rounds? those act like minature nukes once they penetrate.

I think it is explained in some chronicle that the crew can evacuate in just a few seconds and most likely they start getting out as soon as the capsuleer does whatever it is that will get them concorded.
