Science & Industry

Feel free. Otherwise, what's your point ?

.... waits for the "Frozen Corpse" specialty hauler... that would be the "Cadaver" class transport with the "Limited Edition" skin of burnt wreckage and skeletons -- available from the NeX store, ofc.

I would buy one :) Heck several for my lovely corpse collection.

after all.. you know what they say.. rigor mortis IS a girls best friend

When I think of T1 indys I don't compare them to cargo ships, I compare them to trucks.

In the real world, at least in North America most goods are moved by trucks. Sure there are the normal cargo trailers that can hold general goods, some are even refrigerated, but there are also special trailers for hauling milk, liquid fuels, or compressed gases. then there are other trailers made special to haul bulk granular material like gravel, or bauxite. Different trailers again for hauling scrap metal, and livestock. There are many many trailers for hauling many different types of materials. We have general purpose haulers, and specialized haulers, just like we do in EVE.

Ships would be more like freighters for me, bigger slower, are restricted where they can safely go. But even large ships are some what specialized, there are cargo ships for general goods, oil tankers for oil, special ships for moving grain and produce, and even specific ships for moving livestock.

My point is, these changes do reflect well with what we see in the real world, and what I would expect to see in the distant future when mankind does expand into the stars. It was not that many years ago when airplanes and submarines were nothing but science fiction. Yet those science fiction stories were not far off from what is now reality. EVE is real, in that 1000 years from now it will be stunning how many similarities this science fiction will have with what will then be reality.

The Wright brothers made their first flight in 1903. In 1969, only 66 years later, we walked on the moon. 50 years later we have built a space station, and sent rovers to mars. What will the next 50 years bring? What amazing things are to come, even within our lifetime? There are people alive today that can remember when you had to be rich to trade your horse and buggy in for a automobile. Now everyone has a car, most families have several. Will we be telling our grandchildren about how when we were young, you had to be an Astronaut to go into space.

Yes EVE is real, However space combat is much further away than things like asteroid mining.

Interestingly, no comment on being totally, utterly wrong.

All we need is a sniper rifle and an Archduke Ferdinand analog and we can have a World War over containers. We have warred for less. Just saying.
