LOL56 wrote:Warp drives don't cause you to get anywhere near the local light speed, they create a field (of totally BS space magic) that decreases the mass of the surrounding space (a 'depleted vacuum') resulting in a large negative density for the region around the ship (the 'warp tunnel'), thus raising light speed and allowing speeds of multiple AU/s without even approaching the local light speed.
The downside to to these drives is that when in standby mode (they cannot be turned off safely) the create a force akin to friction that drags the ship into a zero velocity relative to the local gravity well (usually the local star)
This says all the OP needs to read....
This is the EvE canon regarding his question.....
If he doesn't like the EvE canon, it's time he move on to a more serious game with a much more believable fiction.. like WoW *sarc off*
In a nutshell, the gravity wells of the warp drives themselves that enable faster than light travel within systems are what cause the various physics anomalies noticed in the game.
This probably includes the limited distance of ordnance and the beams of energy weapons as well.... yes a big penalty for the ability of travel that is much faster than the normal speed of light.. but hey ... without these warp engines it would take 3 or more years to travel from one side of a system to the other. Fair trade in my opinion, I would hate EvE if it took me a year just to get from my agent to a mission destination. |

That's not quite as insane as it sounds; One of the theories of how the universe has expanded so far, in the time that we think its been around could indicate that the speed of light was actually faster in the early stages of the universe. Science, capsuleers!
True, watched a special on Discovery Channel with that famous Asian physicist guy (sorry forgot his name) and he said that the big bang would've started as an infintesimally small point and expanded to the size of our solar system in a matter of millionths of a second...... that is way faster than the speed of light.... so eithor he is right or Einstein was right or they are both in a way right and that the speed of light itself can be changed....

tWas the best expansion ever!
Well since warp engines change the physics of the area surrounding the ship, one would assume this includes the physics of solid matter as well. As such, I didn't have too much of a problem warping through planets... as I am sure you are actually warping through all kinds of other solid matter at the speed and directness that a warp tunnel delivers you. In real space a micro-meteor can destroy a space ship. It is still refreshing though, I am with you... as it never really felt like you were going through a planet... but through an illusion of a planet as that is exactly what it is.
My biggest thrill with this patch and the reason I came back to EvE after a three year hiatus is that rats in plexes now attack the ganker and not just the ganked. I always thought ganking someone at a plex in null sec was too damn easy and pandered to the ganker.
That has been fixed and it is good.... |

So what you are saying is that if I apply 1.21 gigawatts through my flux capacitor, normally I can travel thtough time (after hitting 80 mph of course!) But what if I apply 2.12 gigawatts through the same flux capacitor while travelling at half the speed of light AS IT EXIST IN A WARP TUNNEL DURING WARP?.............
I will ponder this vexing question for weeks now...
I know there is an answer somewhere! |

Oh really? You are comparing EvE to Evochron Mercenary?
Just a guess here.... but do 50,000 plus people play Evochron Mercenary at the same time on ONE SERVER?
The ISD has it 100% right... EvE is made like it is so 50,000 live internet connections can exists on the same server.... don't like the "sacrifices" in "realism" that have to be made to play a space MMO this large... go play a different space MMO that is this large..... Oh wait, that's right... there ISN'T another one....
