Recoil just is more cool. Period. Explosions in space is also cool (yet not scientifically possible in a vacuum)
Of course explosions are possible in space. Recently the US shot down an errant satellite while in orbit and yes, the thing exploded.
Space is a vacuum with zero pressure. It's the perfect environment for explosions, so please explain your physics.

The real question here is why do EVE lasers create visible beams?
A true laser does not create a visible beam. It only becomes visible when passing thorough medium like smoke or fog.
So in effect, what EVE has are not true lasers at all, but are just called that. With that argument, it is possible for this "beam" weapon to have recoil.

Well if you go with astrophysical theory that there is a lot of random 'dust' in space just all over the place, then that can explain visible lasers.
Well then space must be really dusty to create such bright beams. Someone get the vacuum cleaner.
BTW, lasers have been shot to the moon (in real life) and guess what...no beam was visible.

Check this out:

This laser is visible because of the exposure setting for this shot. (Which is why the whole Milky Way is so damn bright in the background)
But normally, the beam would not be visible to the naked eye.

For all those saying "it's a game" you are playing this thread all wrong.
It's an immersion debate about the lack of reality of EVE lasers/recoil and justifying it somehow.
