Originally by: Chaos Incarnate guys, i have a very important question pertinent to this thread
if a borg cube fought a star destroyer, which would win?
are we talkin about a normal star destroyer, or a super star destroyer?
a normal star destroyer
which one wins?
Seen as a normal star destroyer can't track a millenium falcon heading to the left a bit, I'm going for the borg cube thing.
lol, I just spat out my coffee.

Originally by: Khanya Trace Edited by: Khanya Trace on 06/05/2011 00:48:58 good idea, lets make railguns realistic.
They hit 5 times as hard as Arty now. They also melt down after 2 shots.

According to wikipedia with what we have today to get 1 gram of antimatter it would require - "100 quadrillion dollars and run the antimatter factory for 100 billion years"

Originally by: Rohnda Correct me if im wrong but , Dosent eve space simulate being submerged in water?
So that being given, since when did railguns become effective underwater?
Not exactly, the viscosity of space in EVE is about 30 weight motor oil based on calculations someone did years ago. So it is a liquid environment but a bit thicker than water.
Taking this into account, I think the star destroyer would be able to kite the cube and either win or disengage. It's far more aerodynamic and should slip through the space-oil much faster.

ever noticed that railguns always have smaller gun calibers? ------

wrong.... thats like saying if throwing a brick at something doesnt penetrate it then surely firing a bullet at it cant
think point of impact
The impact of an artillery shell or bullet is a massive amount of kinetic energy conecntrated on a small point of surface area
Think mass. A Raven masses 99.3 million kilograms and can travel at 118m/s (263mph) or 855m/s (1,913mph) with a MWD. A large hybrid uranium slug masses .00094 million kilograms at most.
Now change brick to small car in your analogy and is there really any difference between being crushed by a brick the size of a small car or being hit by a fast moving bullet?
The amount of energy between ship collisions is enormous, and aside from bouncing, Eve ships can completely ignore the kinetic energy involved, so it's not a far jump to claim that Eve ships are immune to plain old kinetic impacts.

Which is why wikipedia requires citations/sources. CERN says that making anti-matter is a tad tedious and somewhat inefficient. You'll need to skip down to the middle of the page to get to the anti-matter material.

I actually have a theory about this.
Ages ago, I saw a T3 "Terran" railgun in the Eve DB.
I think the Gallente have been weakened in preparation for a considerable buff.

Yea and ages ago someone got like a T5 or 6 mining laser from a jovian...
the item was removed.
Think CCP only keeps the tech system around as a legacy joke. Instead of expanding on the tech system like they were supposed to they just kept expanding sideways -- giving us pirate ships, factions ships/mods, complex mods, etc.
It's gotten to the point where having something tech 3 is no longer relevant when other options are already present on the market. Even T3 cruisers were released stand-alone and quickly abandoned (missing subsystem? lolz).
Don't count on CCP to do anything more with the tech system. It's nothing more then an afterthought, and even if they did release T3 guns the gallente wouldn't be the only ones getting buffed.

Originally by: Copine Callmeknau I will care about RL comparisons when they make an actual 800mm Artillery that fires a round wvery 3.5 secc or so.
given any reasonable sort of shell speeds it's very unlikely you are going to hit anything at all with the oh so devastating 1400 mm arty shell. any ships computer can control the introduction of random elements into a ship's course which make hitting it at any distance unlikely at best. near speed of light weapons or self guiding are the way to go to achieve any sort of realism/reasonableness in your game.
eve game mechanics however are pretty clearly heavily biased in favour of "play balance" not reasonableness. frigates just aren't much of a threat to battleships in any reasonable game for instance.

Originally by: Peter Powers seeing at how federation science vessels have defeated the borg on numerous occasions (Enterprise, Voyager..) i assume its pretty safe to say that a war machine like a star destroyer would have the edge here. the question is more, are the opressed star destroyer crews smart enough to modify the phase variance??
neither voyager nor enterprise are actually science vessels. it's just that star fleet loves to put large amounts of lab space into their ships where other races tend to put oh troop barracks or more weapons/shields in.

Problem with rail guns isn't the damage. Fitting requirements are too high, tracking is terrible and the fact they use cap and ammo is an immidiate disadvantage. They could do with an overall reworking or at least the ships that mount them.

Plus you have no idea what a 1400mm howitzer would do IRL. Probably flog a railgun in terms of target devestation
Depends on how fast its been propelled. Large calibre high explosive rounds are usually used for fortificatons and knocking down structures. If you want to get through hardnened armour you fire a smaller round at a very high speed.
That is the point of rail guns, projectile going very fast does lots and lots of damage.
But this is EVE so what does that matter.

Perosnally they way i always thought it was supposed to be ballanced with MINMATAR vs GALLANTE weaponry were at odds
Blasters = Massive Alpha, Low Range, Slow repeat, Poor Tracking Rails = Medium Alpha, Highest Range, Medium Repeat repeat, Great Tracking
Autocannons = Low Alpha, Medium Range, Ultra fast repeat, Good Tracking Artillery = Massive Alpha, High Range, Slow repeat, **** Tracking
Or thats my 2 cents atleast
