Originally by: Ston Momaki Manwe, good work today. What you didn't share was how you picked up that frozen corpse, contacted the owner and offered to give it a decent burial or return it to him. I hope you hear back from him. If not, does anyone know what the burial rights of the Intaki are? Oh yes, Manwe also gave 500,000 ISK to a pilot who showed "resistance to greed." Nice touch Manwe. I agree with you that there is a ton of work to do in Abudban. We will hit it again tomorrow for a while then I'll leave you on your own.
There are burial traditions used for capsuleers' clones?
It sounds like you guys are doing some interesting work, by the way. Social experimentation and studying, that is. Unity Prevails. |

Hey, I saw you in the Promised Land system!
At any rate, have you considered using something a bit less vulnerable than shuttle? A Vigil-class frigate is still cheap yet provides much more protection in that very few ships will be able to catch it (or more specifically, by the time any would-be attackers probe you down you will hopefully be far from the warp-in coordinates their probes provide them). ------- I spy with my third eye crimson clouds beyond the horizon... |

Originally by: Manwe Todako Mr. Jaiga, Sincere thanks for the suggestion. As a matter of fact, in my former way of life, I would have done just that, but the Disciples of Ston use only unarmed vessels. Our usual vessel is the rookie vessel, but I have been granted a dispensation to use the shuttle for extra speed. We are non profit and spend next to nothing on our work.
You are the first pilot who has actually made a suggestion that would help. I do appreciate it and I will bring it to Ston and Edaine as a possibility for further exploration.
In that case, as you are Minmatar you have access to the quite speedy Reaper-class rookie ship. Equipped with a MAPC (micro auxiliar power core) it is more than capable of fitting a 1MN micro-warp drive and reaching speeds much faster than a shuttle. The increased signature radius might make you more vulnerable to being probed down, however, so which choice of ship is entirely up to your own reasoning.
And you are quite welcome! I love discussing ships with people, especially if it helps them out. ------- I spy with my third eye crimson clouds beyond the horizon... |

I actually conducted the same experiment in the Josekorn system a little over a year ago. The only explanation I can give is that the same mechanism that allows your ship to pass through solid objects (namely, planets and stations) must be at play and keeping your ship from interacting with the star. This of course must be a feature of the warp drive, for the aforementioned effect only appears while the warp drive is engaged. Since I do not fully understand the mechanics of the warp drive, I shall delve no further. ------- I spy with my third eye crimson clouds beyond the horizon... |

This is what confounds us. We need acute scientific minds to explain what seems impossible. One thought that has come to me is that the warp field persists in the sun's interior as some sort of protective bubble and sustains itself with the sun's energy.
That's probably the most reasonable hypothesis. I'll not spoil the surprise, but have you tried to go to the very center of the star yet? What happens when you do further suggests everything that goes on within a star to be a warp field effect. |

The first image is likely as you described it: an intact warp field protecting the ship from the star's deadly radiation and heat.
As for the second image, we must question how the camera drone went so far away from your ship so quickly. My hypothesis is that during the time in which the camera drone leaves close proximity to your ship (and thus its warp field) the camera drone experiences a huge amount of interference. Of course in order to even make it out of the star to obtain such a picture the camera drone itself must have a warp field (which is apparent anyway as camera drones follow ships at warp), but the curvature of spacetime from the camera drone's warp field must be much greater thus producing the odd image. That or, keep in mind, as capsuleers the image we see is generated by the link between our minds and pods and in principle the image could be a glitch. After all it is unlikely that the pods' engineers ever intended a capsuleer to get so close to the core of a star.
((At the end of the day the entire thing is a glitch from game mechanics; it would be nice if CCP explained or otherwise corrected this)) ------- I spy with my third eye crimson clouds beyond the horizon... |

I have a fairly simple explanation, but it may require some diagrams... Hopefully this explanation I offer will make your other article clearer and more exact with what's actually happening. |

Ok, so here we go. As we know, the warp drive operates on the principle of warping spacetime in such a way so as to "push" your ship at speeds effectively faster than the speed of light (though to say your ship is moving in any local sense isn't true). Now we also postulate that the warp field remains intact as your ship dives into a star, which makes sense for the following reasons:
1) Your ship isn't burnt to a crips as it normally would 2) Your ship does not accelerate towards the star due to gravitational force
The second point is of great importance for my explanation. Becuase your ship isn't accelerating towards the star due to gravity it must be the case that a warp field is enveloping your ship, and furthermore the warp field must be bending spacetime in such a way so as the prevent your ship from accelerating due to gravity. So as your ship approaches the core, by the inverse-square law of gravitation we know that the gravitational force between the ship and the star increases, so it stands to reason that the magnitude of the warp field also increases to negate gravitational force. However, as you approach the exact center of a star (the core) gravitational force sharply decreases because the mass of the star surrounds you evenly in all directions. However, the warp field that was keeping your ship from accelerating due to gravity is also still present, and furthermore it was effectively "pushing" your ship away from the star's center of mass (again, the core). So once your ship arrives at the core, there is no gravitational force acting on your ship yet a warp field is trying to "push" your ship away from the star and it would seem that it succeeds in doing so, for your ship is thrown far away at great speeds! ------- I spy with my third eye crimson clouds beyond the horizon... |

Of course, your hypothesis may be correct. I'm simply making heavy use of the law of parsimony in this case.

It's not that hard to explain, at least whenever you consider the things at play with the warp fields. You have to describe the effects in terms of a special metric though, which may require some training in physics.
Just think about spacetime. Think four-dimensionally, and it all makes sense. ------- I spy with my third eye crimson clouds beyond the horizon... |
