The Saturn V at max speed goes 25,000 mph. That is about 11176m/s. Excluding the use of a warp drive, not one of our can go faster than that. Why? |

1) that isn't the Saturn Vs top speed. Its top speed is whatever it reaches before it runs out of fuel. Unless you are referring only to atmospheric speed, in which case the comparison is pointless as our ships cannot under any circumstances enter an oxygen atmosphere.
2) our ships propulsion system has limits to the speed because the faster they go, the more [insert technobabble term here] drag force they experience. |

The Saturn V flies through the vacuum of space.
On the other side of the EVE gate space is made of some weird liquid. Hard to get a good head of steam going when you have that to deal with.
EDIT: Sorry Corina, should have read more carefully your point number two before saying the same bloody thing.

You do realize that drag forces really do not exist in a vacuum? |

Because CCP nerfed Nano when they launched Dominion. They needed a red herring to keep people busy while they ****** over Caldari missles and Sov in general. |

Saturn V rockets don't have armor, shield generators, a warp drive or weapons to weigh it down. Also if you go above 15 km/s you can cause desync on the eve servers, unless they fixed that |

EVE ships don't need to go that fast because we have warp drives. Any distance that you would need to cover to justify going that fast can instantly be covered with a quick warp. |

This is a vid game Its not reality Caught on a rant slide No excuse for reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see I'm just a pod boy I extrude apathy Because its easy isk don't you know? Play balance, let it go Any speed the ship goes doesn't really matter to me to me
Arua, got killed again They put a blaster 'gainst my head Pulled their trigger now I'm dead Arua, life had just begun But now I am over twenty jumps away. Arua, oo oo oo ooo Didn't mean to pop and fry I'd better not get podded again tomorrow Implants gone, carry on, now doesn't even matter
Too late, my armors gone Getting bumped I can't align Cap is gone I'm out of time Goodbye everybody Its time to clone Gotta leave this all behind and face the truth Arua, oo oo oo oooo I don't want to die I sometimes wish I'd never been cloned at all...

Eve uses gravity drives which is why we probably can afford the oddest looking ships but FTL as well.

Just realized, on a solar level, sitting in my chair right now I go faster than any ship in EVE (not warping). Since nothing orbits the stars in game. |

Mr Epeen if we look at the amount of nebulas in sapce in New Eden, could we not surmise that Eden sapce is filled with hyper-energetic particles that facilitate the ability for warp-drives to function by causing physics-distorting effects on the environment? and that these same particles are responsible for all the weird minerals developed in asteroids, and why we can visibly see Scan Rez booster's wave-frequencies? |

Well there is the issue of gravity. We have gravity wells all over the place such as planets, stars, and moons. Maybe that just creates some strange interference with our ship engines. Hey, that gives me a pretty interesting idea about ship velocities and what if they would vary based on the number of AU you are from a gravity well? The further they are, the faster everybody goes |

I would love to see Voyager or similar extra-solar probe come floating through the EVE-verse...
And does the m in m\s stand for metre? It may be just an arbitrary m :)
I also thought that things did orbit in EVE, but we haven't really been around long enough to notice...

Because the Saturn V is a multi-stage chemical rocket designed to get off the ground and out of orbit. The acceleration is vast, there's huge amounts of power, and it still has to shed used engines and empty fuel tanks on the way up. It was built on the ground, in a gravity well. Not in space. It had a tiny cargo on board. Three men and a few small ships.
EVE ships are faster than light, thanks to the warp drive. Sublight speeds aren't so important. |

Actually it does brah, and the closer you get to the speed of light the amount of drag increases almost exponentially. |

It's not drag it's the amount of energy it takes to make it go faster just increases. Totally different and not realivent for the size of an interceptor. |

Be happy the ships fly strait at all. The ship designers failed physics 101 with an F- and filled the game with asymmetrical thrusters. EVE why u no obey Newtonian Physics? Sure wish I could fit med artillery on my frigate to. http://i.imgur.com/PUZou.jpg

Everyone's mom knows how to Vacuum.
Instead, warp drive deforms space time, no drag, no travel. Just a shortcut.
Space is not empty, it is full of gravity, energy, gasses, particles, Space is dense! But its density is low, very low.
Gravity, waves are another form of matter. |

Instead of moving the ship, the engine moves the universe around the ship.
Moving the universe a whopping 5km/s is a pretty amazing feat. . . |
