Hey, I was just wondering about this...why is there an "up" in space?? Is there some kind of unstated rule of engagement? |

So unless something has gone terribly wrong, or some seaman is doing barrel rolls in a Seawolf attack sub again, ships in EVE will eventually right themselves.

Because we're not flying spaceships in space, in fact, they are actually submarines underwater.

The ships are just balls in space really, it doesn't matter much if they are upside down or tilted. There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

For some reason they are never right side up during weekends. I presume this is a glitch CCP needs to fix. |

You need less thrusters on the ship if you design it in a way that it will fly mostly in a plane.
Also, the ship interior has artificial gravity and crew (together with inertia dampeners to keep crew alive), so the ships kinda need something to be considered "up". |

Please define up in space, where there is no gravity and thus no clear definition of down too.

Can you imagine if we had to account for yaw and stuff flying these things around, and disabled the autopilot feature? Some people wouldn't be able to handle it and unsub.
And by "some people" I am mainly referring to everyone D400 blows up. See Bio for isk doubling rules. -áIf you didn't read bio, chances are you helped fund those who did.

There is no up or down in space.
When you go to dock the stations are actually upside down.
Planets are at a 75 degree angle

Uh, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like that... a wizard did it.
I'm just going to walk the Earth. You know, like Caine in Kung Fu: walk from place to place, meet people, get into adventures and die of autoerotic asphyxation in a sleazy Thai hotel room. |

Btw, EVE ships have top speed limits because of the functionality of the inertia dampeners.. If there were no limits on top speeds the crew would die in every turn, and your ship would take damage on any contact. And I made all this up.
"up" is relative to what you're standing on in your ship - presumably the "floor" [or ceiling]. but since toroidal fields are omnidirectional ... it all comes back to which way your ship is oriented and stuff.. or something. |

Lore-wise, warp drives are physics breaking. They cause a natural resistance to movement; they like to stay in place. Once turned on, they can never be turned off without the ship exploding.
The way they anchor themselves in space is what causes resistance, and keeps you from going infinitely fast. It's apparently also what keeps you from falling into planets without orbiting at ludicrous speeds.
I like to assume that up is the same for all ships because they're all manufactured with their warp drives facing the same direction. Not a forum alt.-á |

Nighthawk vertical? I thought they were turning it into a Drake hull? Or are they changing that completely now?
And in reply to the OP, coding. You try having a spaceship game as large as Eve with no coded "up". It would be hard to do... Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

No need, just look at your ship after you arrive somewhere. it will soon show you what's up.

Aaaah! My bad, probably should have realised tbh haha makes alot more sense now though

Up is relative to the person in question... So your statement here is slightly off... And by slightly I mean waaaay off
EDIT: Dang someone beat me to it haha Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week.
