I have found a star that is a big bit older than the universe itself. Or is it? http://imgur.com/7oC4Kdn

Guess that proves that the EvE gate led humanity to a different universe.

That explains some strange phenomena - like celestials being nailed to a spot on their orbits. Big smile

Doesn't being nailed at a spot means a celestial have no orbit at all?

Just blame the Jovians and the Sleepers. Instead of blowing up the star they transported it back in time and it was the reason for the Jovian Wet Grave Plague.Blink

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Quite the opposite. Earth for example isn't nailed to a spot, and it has an orbit.

Unless I was mixed up in double negatives.

I mean "nailed at a spot means no orbit because no movement."

I know, the ingame map shows an (potential)orbit.

That was not the only star older than 14 bill. years that i found. Just the oldest around my home.

That is only what you see in your display.
Of course celestial bodies move and orbit and rotate on themselves, and whatever else.

It also helps the combat interface from blocking during large scale combat.
It also lets you warp through celestial and so on.

The computer systems would compensate for it, however, you may want to revise the combat efficiency resources.


So, until the hardware is better, or the system requirements increases again (I ran programs faster on a 486 and 386, if not XT), that's how it runs on your computer right now.

Who cares, in about 2 to 2.5 billion years it will all be over...

On the bright side, i've almost finished building the parts for my bowhead, not that i need one, just... because i can Lol

No, they don't orbit the sun. Or maybe they move so slowly that even after 14 years nobody can see them in a different position.

Nope planetary bodies and moons in Eve are static, they don't have an orbital path. If they did orbit their star it would play havoc with bookmarks; in the case of moons, if they orbited their planetary body, imagine what would happen to anything anchored at the moon, like a POS.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Like every npc station, they would orbit their moon, like the moons would orbit their planet, like the planets would orbit their sun. I don't know, what asteriod belts would do.

More interesting are the next questions.

What would happen to the citadels, that can be placed everywhere in the systems? Or the stargates that are anchored at specific points in space to establish a steady connection to other systems?

Solution:
-Stargates could be placed outside of the rotation space of planets and their moons.

-Citadels could be placed anywhere in the system, but only if they do not interfere with planets on their rotation. There they could have static positons.
-Or they could be placed in orbits of moons and planets, where they rotate their celestials and so change their position in space constantly.

I bet you already have a bottle of something special just waiting to break over the side of the hull when it's done and done, right?

The periods are suppose to be commas. Eve has these weird moments where the two are used incorrectly like that.

Good catch, though.

It is used correct.

I think it's the metric system. It's how we write numbers here in germany too.

Like lightspeed in space for example is written 299792,458 km/s or 299.792,458 km/s.

We only use the dots (or periods) to read numbers easier,

like 1 lightyear is 9.460.730.472.580,8 km.

That's easier to read then 9460730472580,8 km.

In the states it's like 9,460,730,472,580.8 km or 5,255,961,373,656 miles, right?

Maybe it's the difference between the metric and the imperial system.

Btw. Metric ftw. In EVE too.Cool
