I am trying to wrap my brain around the size and scale of the Eve universe. I have a hypothetical. Let's say tomorrow morning I log on, grab a shuttle(which I am assuming is the fastest ship i could get my hands on) started at the farthest end of the map and flew to the complete opposite end using only engines and never warping how many days or even years would it take.....has anyone ever heard of this being calculated? |

It's about two thirds as big as the mouseover popup scrolling brick of death.
That you can see the edges of the game around that is just a clever perspective trick. |

She was about 130lbs when I was last with her about 10 years ago.
No telling what she's become since then. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

We talking length or girth of EVE?
And does size even really matter at the end of the day?

The thread Doc linked estimated 130 ly.
Assuming you didn't warp, as you said, and your shuttle goes around 600m/s (no, it's not the fastest ship you can fly), it would take roughly 65 million years* to go from one end to the other.

Let's seeGǪ
K-space width: 845,268,785,854,449,280 metres (~89.3 ly) K-space depth: 215,604,069,482,645,952 metres (~22.8 ly) K-space height: 957,320,693,030,119,680 metres (~101 ly)
Let's pick something reasonably fast that can stay that way for a loooong time. So, say, a 6km/s interceptor.
Just going from top to bottom GÇö the shortest traverse possible GÇö would take 1,138,680 years. From north to south GÇö the longest (single-axis) traverse possible GÇö would take 5,055,943 years.

Even travelling from one celestial to another within a system without warping is totally impractical except for planet to moon trips.
0.3 AU is 45 million kilometers (and a common distance from the sun to planet 1). An interceptor (6km/s) will take 7.5 million seconds to cover that, which is about three months.

Did you factor in that EVE days are only 23 hours 30 minutes long? That awkward moment at the Gentlemen's Club when you see your sister on the stage....and you're not sure where to put the money.... |

People used to build deadspace/officer fitted frigates that did 40km/s or better sub warp.
Not sure if that is still possible. |

Dunno the numbers
This game gives a real sense of leaving reality, and embarking on an epic journey. I spent hours yesterday jumping from wormhole to wormhole before finally deciding to just gate jump back to hisec.
Bring on the other "space games", eve will still reign supreme.

I always had the impression that Eve is really tiny, but nobody is there. Probably because I can talk to everyone but not see anyone. Ever. And it takes ages to travel only to find myself in the same place again. Space lonely? www.multicamchat.com |

The milky way galaxy has a diameter of something above 100k light years with the nearest star to our sun being something about 4 light years away if I remember correctly. So if everything in eve fits into a 130 light year diameter that would fit into a tiny fraction of our galaxy.

Its also actually impossible without using stargates as you can't just pass from 1 system to another without a session change :) |

The eve star systems known to us is just a tiny fraction of a galaxy. 7500+ system is not much. The starmap also is not showing if eve is a spiral with 2 or 3 or four arms. Or is eve just a small satellite galaxy? Maybe CCP should make a full galaxy map of eve :)
I am also missing binary systems, pulsars, blackholes and habitable moons. And many many many other things |

EvE is very very small. 130 lightyears should about the average distance between systems. Not the span of a 'galaxy'.

how can people with such an advanced technology not know that? Even we know if we are part of a galaxy or not. |

Do such clusters exist outside galaxies? I know that individual stars escape galaxies due to being slingshotted out by supermassive black holes, but an event like that would not leave a cluster of stars intact (much less leave their planets) Set the universe on fire - then sell the survivors ash. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content.

Well if you want to talk about game mechanics, no one could answer my question so far if its even possible to reach another point in a system without warping (and thus triggering a grid change). For example slowboating from one planet to another and waiting a long time. |
