I've had many a debate with people trying to "explain" the submarine-like physics of the game, but it just comes down to the fact that this way is more exciting (and less intensive to the game).<br /><br />I do wish they'd bother fixing that jumpgate chronicle though.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126198181400556670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-13864876642891563402010-12-12T19:00:14.428-08:002010-12-12T19:00:14.428-08:00I think with regard to your point #2, I believe it...I think with regard to your point #2, I believe it maybe be that EVE ship physics is based on fluid dynamics, not empty (or nearly empty) vacuum mechanics.<br /><br />But yeah I agree...that stuff really isn't immersion breaking for me.

Everythin...Here's another big one...bookmarks. Everything is in motion in space. The planets revolve around stars, moons revolve around planets, and the stars themselves are in motion. On top of that, the galaxies are in motion as well. The idea of a static bookmark that is always in the same place is wholly unrealistic. But as you point out, it's part of game mechanics. Any alternative would probably be so complex it wouldn't be much fun.Lex Starwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392435740633939806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-22417108664275775202010-12-01T19:21:57.121-08:002010-12-01T19:21:57.121-08:00Wormholes.Wormholes.Hallan Turrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815269368592695461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-84589691341369399642010-12-01T09:07:08.116-08:002010-12-01T09:07:08.116-08:00There are systems in EVE with two stars in it???

There are particles floating around which partially fill the void. If you're not moving very fast then this is fairly insignificant, but once you start moving at speed you'll encounter a significant number of particles in your path. <br /><br />I agree that a ship's momentum would keep it going in space for a lot longer than it does in the EVE universe, but it would break the game a bit if MWDing for a few minutes got you up to 0.9c, no?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157916211587223418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574114473524465.post-6565898938860836302010-11-30T23:29:02.539-08:002010-11-30T23:29:02.539-08:00How engines work is really simple actually, by ___...How engines work is really simple actually, by _________________________ they cause ______________________ which therefore results in ________________ thus explaining why we stop if we turn our engines off.<br /><br />*parts have been edited out to protect state secrets (and from you building your own engine =p)<br /><br />-Jimqi101- _______ of _______JumpOffACliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787597978242513958noreply@blogger.com
