Those are people who probably think earth was a flat disk and at the center of the universe aswell, though their might be a few canturies between even THAT change of view... Once you think you have it all, you-áhave actually become-áignorant towards everything else. T. Would
Karl Hobb Stellar Ore Refinery and Crematorium 543	Posted - 2012.09.14 22:03:00 - [4] - Quote I was going to go off about rounding it up to 150 million meters, but then I read further in the article. Also, who cares as far as EVE is concerned? It's an arbitrary number in the far future of another galaxy. Nothing Found

Surfin's PlunderBunny Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 2197	Posted - 2012.09.15 00:14:00 - [8] - Quote Doesn't an AU change depending on season anyway? I don't know these things because if it's not Eve (and sometimes when it is) space is boring "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame. A hero drinks a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that if he does a split in midair, he can hit twice as many zombies per kick. Drunk hero wins again, wusses." ~Cracked.com

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.


CCP Atlas C C P C C P Alliance 184	Posted - 2012.09.15 01:02:00 - [11] - Quote Pfft, we always knew it was fixed. const.AU = 149598000000.0

It is the greatest inequality to try to make unequal things equal.

Back when it was first done the poor guy had telescopes, bits of string, a chalkboard and a slide rule.

Ishtanchuk Fazmarai 664	Posted - 2012.09.15 13:27:00 - [26] - Quote A real life AU may be 149,597,870,700 meters, but an EVE AU is what a BS warps in roughly 0.333 seconds. I play games for fun, evasion and reward.-áEVE is not fun, it sucks as much as reality and dismisses all my ways of playing it. I think that I should unhook myself from that b*tch... Soon.
Jiska Ensa Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 90	Posted - 2012.09.15 13:29:00 - [27] - Quote The average eve-player probably doesn't even know what AU actually stands for. So it could be 500 million inches and they wouldn't know the difference. If you're going to pick on scientific inconsistancies, start with planet/star age, temperature, mass, radius, pressure etc. I've come across gas giants that are thinner than Mars' atmosphere, and ice planets hotter than Mercury...As well as stars older than the age of the universe. Also why is every single moon that boring shade of grey? I demand ice moons!

I am going have to agree with nasa on this considering there are other 'planetiods' the same size or larger than pluto in the same belt this would also meanc ceres and its sister would be a planets as well making mars 6th from the sun. If it can't dominate its orbit then it shouldnt be a planet. Nova Fox Shipyards Inventory
