The old school arcade classic, Asteroids, has better space physics than Eve.
That is all. Thank you for your time.

Eve is not played in space. It is played in an alternate dimension where space is filled with pudding

Did you just take a physics 101 course, and decided to share with us the fact that EVE's physics has nothing to do with real life?
Shocking!!!

Newtonian physics in games = difficult to design for, even harder to play well with.
If you want an in-universe "fluff" reason for it, the warp drive "drags" against the fabric of space time in the same way that a submersible moving through water drags against the water. - Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain. |

we are always finding out that what we know is wrong.
besides im pretty sure the original game was just a submarine simulator, with zoom functions added, and the removal of any depth effects to stop our ships imploding.

I typically think of it more as a result of the inertial dampening and artificial gravity systems that allow you to pull high G turns that would otherwise splatter the crew along the walls.
If you have a system that can bleed off and mitigate the effects of momentum you need less fuel to reach speed but require constant thrust to maintain speed. Since thrusters have a maximum exhaust speed you have a maximum achievable velocity while the inertial systems are running. A heavier ship would require more inertial energy conversion, further limiting the maximum achievable velocity depending on how efficiently and effectively the inertia is dealt with.
Removing thrust would result in deceleration as the system quickly removes residual inertial energy.
I could go on and on with a bunch of pseudo scientific science fictiony mumbo jumbo describing different aspects of the system but this is not the right place for it.
Just my .02 ISK on the matter of "pudding space".

Technically speaking, Asteroids is only theoretically more realistic.
Seeing as how no one has a warp-drive equipped starship to say "this is how it actually works!" and all.

I hereby demand the Hyperspace button be ripped from the nearest Asteroids machine and placed on my keyboard.
Hit a gate camp, smack the button, and *poof*... you appear in some random place in the universe.
Hopefully not Jita. Or Drone Space. But never, never Jita.

Ok, As long as it:
A) Requires fuel. B) Can only be used once before needing repairs in a station. C) Has a short build-up time before you disappear.
And ofc ANY system should be possible, Jita, Drone regions, Delve, Low sec, wormhole space, anything's possible. ------------------------- I'm not shirtless damnit! |

But EVE isn't played in space. It's played on your computer, through teh Interwebs.
And Newton didn't know about teh Interwebs, cos he was too stupid and high on crack.

Which bits of Asteroids and which bits of Physics?
If you shoot an Asteroid with a laser you're likely to get an outgassing from the site which will change the direction of the asteroid's movement, probably inducing rotation around the centre of mass... What you don't get is perfect subdivision, loss of previous velocity and transfer to each part, perpendicular to the previous direction of travel yet parallel to the galactic plane at the same speed...
If you're referring to the bump mechanic (and absence of ramming) then consider the possibility that it is the result of collision avoidance systems rather than actual transfer of momentum.
If you're referring to the fact that your engines burn constantly to maintain a set velocity then ask yourself where your fuel comes from... Your ship is powered by a fusion reactor, that used to be part of the tutorial. That reactor requires fuel and it has to run practically indefinitely without need to refuel at static sites (stations, stargates...etc). It must therefore gather fuel in normal operation. Fortunately the interplanetary void is very un-void-like and contains considerable quantities of hydrogen, ideal fuel for your reactor, which can easily be collected by means of a magnetic scoop. The interaction of your scoop with the space around you bleeds off energy, it is in effect a huge parachute attempting to counter your engines. Your ship therefore has a terminal velocity limited by this drag effect. The "impact" of atoms on this scoop could also be used by your pod to assist in simulating the noise of warp travel... And of course it could explain why your ships systems refuse to allow you to spend significant time in proximity to a star. --
