DrunkenNinja Grim Determination Academy Nulli Tertius 95	Posted - 2013.01.11 08:09:00 - [1] - Quote I've been trying out lasers on the test server and I couldn't help but realise how utterly obnoxious they look. Projectiles, blasters and missiles all are much more pleasing to the eye and I couldn't find a graphical setting to stop pulse lasers from flickering so violently. Are there any text based graphical settings that can stop pulse lasers from flashing?
Caitlyn Tufy Bene Gesserit ChapterHouse Sanctuary Pact 126	Posted - 2013.01.11 08:11:00 - [2] - Quote It's a pulse laser, it fires in pulses, of course it'll flash. Also, it's a laser, therefore there will be a visible beam as opposed to, you know, artillery round :p

Yes, as the laser is on the electromagnetic spectrum it is therefore self propagating and does not need a medium to travel through.

You're playing a science fiction video game. Fiction. Video game. Suspend your disbelief. Phrases like "you can't nerf / buff X EVE is a Sandbox" have the same amount of meaning as "If this is a sack of potatoes then you can not carrot." - Alara IonStorm
ChromeStriker The Riot Formation Unclaimed. 448	Posted - 2013.01.11 11:30:00 - [9] - Quote Lasers = light Pulse = flash pulse laser = flashing light Also lasers actually work better in a vacuum as the beam isn't dispersed by an atmosphere. - Nulla Curas

Yes, as the laser is on the electromagnetic spectrum it is therefore self propagating and does not need a medium to travel through. What? You may be confusing some things here. The ability to observe EM radiation depends on two things. The observer must be actually sensible to the specific wavelength range and parts of the radiation must reach him. A laser beam in hard vacuum is invisible (except if it's atimed right into your face) regardless of wavelength as there is no matter it can interact with. A laser beam on earth is only visible because it interacts with air/dust particles in the atmosphere.
Maire Gheren Imperial Shipment Amarr Empire 98	Posted - 2013.01.11 11:37:00 - [11] - Quote There is also the matter that we are not seeing the raw video of space, but rather the enhanced sensory imagery with effects added in from our sensors to improve our performance. We see lasers, because our ship can detect laser beam projection and it is more effective for us, too, to "see lasers" and hear them too than it is to faithfully see empty space as our ships fail to relay the information about the laserfire for realism's sake.

Yes, as the laser is on the electromagnetic spectrum it is therefore self propagating and does not need a medium to travel through. That's not what he's getting at. He's getting at the fact that, without anything for the beam to bounce off of on its way to wherever it's going, you won't see it. Vacuum = no particle matter to reflect the light = no visible beam. Hell, even in normal air, you won't see the beam unless it's so ludicrously powerful as to turn the air into plasma or in some other way excite the molecules to the point where they start emitting light. You'd normally need a lot of free-floating dust or vapour or some such to notice a laser under normal atmospheric conditions. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥ Get a good start: newbie skill plan.

What's next, we'll complain about sound in space? :p Here's an in-universe explanation for you: the Capsule did it! :D

To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base.

"You either need less science fiction or more medication." "Or less medication and more ammo!"
Unsuccessful At Everything The Troll Bridge 1495	Posted - 2013.01.11 20:14:00 - [20] - Quote I didnt realize lasers worked at all in a fluid filled universe. But then again, If we REALLY wanted Eve to be based on RL physics... *Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?*
Zimmy Zeta RvB - RED Federation 5586	Posted - 2013.01.11 20:35:00 - [21] - Quote Easy solution: use quad- and dual beam lasers. They are crappy weapons without any real purpose in this game, but are by far the best looking weapons in EVE. Morgan Freeman ordered me to self-destruct....now what's your excuse?
