3000 m/s for the fastest frigs.

Sub-warp speeds in eve are actually fairly low by space's standards. It's just the accelerations that are a little exaggerated, like frigates which often accelerate at well over 100 gravities.

the only ship that should be speed nerfed is the fleet stabber

BRlNG BACK NANOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And nerf that guy's salary who nerfed nanos while you're at it.

Lore wise from what I remember EVE Space works like this. The Warp Drive is always turned on creating a perma warp bubble around the ship even in normal space which has the effect of making drag affect mass like in atmosphere, the drag is also what allows us to bank.

At what velocity is this "drag"? It can't be matched to the interstellar medium because then you would be pulled out of most solar systems at enormous speed. It can't be the nearest planet because then you would fall into that planet.

Naw, Eve combat small gang/solo combat is too fast-switch, reaction time dependent. If I wanted that type of multiplayer experience I'ld go play a FPS.

OOoohhhhh! Look at that, that one touched a nerve.

Aren't you lot the usual faces who are constantly complaining about carebears/ carebear buffs/ carebear whining in general?

Afraid you might not be able to run away when the fight get a little too hot?

Just join the CFC. They won't fight unless they can bring at least 50% tidi. That should slow things down for you.

The drag is the warp field around the ship I think. Their are probably some Chronicles on this you can look at as well as the encyclopedia.

Seems like you would be more fit for fighting in capitals.

I do get what you are trying to say, as I find those speeds really do not convey how big these ships actually are. Their movement, at least for me, make the frigates feel like they are the size of modern jets, which is actually how big fighters are in this game.

But then again, we are not really discussing max speed as much as we are discussing agility, or as one poster identified above, a.k.a. their acceleration. Supposedly pods make these maneuvers possible, but it still feels a little alien to me.

Everything zooming around at 2000 to 6000 m/s has never felt right. Its a spaz-fest. Would be better if MWs were scaled down 30-50%.. 800 m/s for a bship, 1200 m/s for a BC, 1600 m/s for a cruiser, and 3000 m/s for the fastest frigs.

Ships in EvE are slow (non warp speed)

International Space Station (ISS) Average speed
7,706.6 m/s (27,743.8 km/h, 17,239.2 mph) Number of orbits round earth 79362
(23 September) Wikipedia source, and is only a station, without super propulsion engines etc... not even a ship, while in EvE all rases living in future where ships should be more faster ...
