Aren't the Jove supposed to be light years ahead of us?

Agreed.


Only if we can also add misuse of the word "parsec" on top of that.

"It's the ship that made the Kessel Run is less than 12 parsecs!"

@ Lucas

Parsec is a unit of distance, you rock-stupid half-assed excuse for a writer!


In the star wars universe, ships cannot go through stars and planets.
They must calculate trajectory that avoid them.

What makes Han Solo an awesome pilot is not an insane speed.
It's his hability to calculate an insanely short path. That's how he beats bigger, faster ships.

To take an analogy, it's like when you make a trip in 20 carrier jumps, and solo can do it in 12 jumps.


Yes, I know this. But I am also entirely aware that the entirety of that statement was retconned after about a thousand people sent Lucas letters telling him he was a imbecile for writing that. So basically, a total cover up for his s***ty writing ability.

"Is it a fast ship?"

...

"It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs!"

Seems pretty clear to me.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Why do people think lightyear = time? A lightyear is a measurement of distance, the distance light travels in a year, obviously.

6/6/6 slot layout proves this idea. Goonspiracy mode, activate!

7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided. --Eve New Player Guide

You are lightyears away from even contemplating reading even a small portion of the thread, aren't you?

Also you guys are being too hard on Lucas. It's not like he's going back and changing the sequence of events that establish Han's scoundrel nature into an alternate version where a professional bounty hunter somehow misses a point blank shot from under a table allowing Han to justifiably fire back in self defence.

THAT would be messed up

who really give a F'k about the phrase.

Miles ahead is a distance indicative
years ahead is a time indicative.

So there is nothing wrong with using light years ahead in the OP.

if you are reading it as a measure of time I suggest you plug in basic reading into your training plan asap.

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

Han Solo did the Kessel Run in 11.5 Parsecs.

Juan Solo did it in 7.3 Sombreros.

Jeeze end this thread already Ugh

End of the day its a SoCT ship and one of the founding members was a jove.
Ior Labron the Jovian student of Gorda Hoje founded the Society of Conscious Thought[1] in AD 23044 with the the primary aim of discovering the meaning of life.


If somebody gets a real jove ship you may aswell end EvE now as they will pretty much go around killing everything
and not get scratched.

The SoCT are a peacful thoughtful race so im dammed to understand why they gave us a 666 slot ship.


TBh they prob found the design in his hanger with no Jove modifications on it and decided to re produce it under NPC guide lines.

Oh if anyone says the Jove are dead there not ffs..........Evil

CCP gimmie my god damm edilon battleship back already!!

And then it happened. Massive, eerily green blasts erupted from seemingly nowhere, and an Amarrian Apocalypse went up in flames.  "It was a Jovian Mother ship".

I saw someone say its Jovian.
So he lied then?


They may have simply been mistaken.


Probably because it says "Jove" in the Ship-Preview window. CCP should perhaps change that.


Didn't see that until you pointed it out. Nice catch Big smile +1

Perhaps we are taking the meaning of light year out of context. What if OP was referring to the year being lighter than another heavier year. Of course this makes no sense at all and probably doesn't help the discussion one bit, but it's very late and I'm a bit punchy.

OP doesnt know that light years isnt a way of measuring time, but rather distance.

Maybe it has a lot of Jovian technology but we just don't know how to use it to it's full potential?

We are like a medieval knight who is given a bazooka and he then goes around bashing people with it like it's a mace. Pirate

One day all those ships will become concious, turn on us, form an unbeatable fleet and blow up the universe!

You mean like Caldari Ships?
