Aren't the Jove supposed to be light years ahead of us? Any of their ships are supposed to ROFLstomp our ships, and yet the Gnosis isn't really that powerful. Its powerful and versatile yes, but light years ahead of the empires? No.
Is this like an old model? Because if this ship is the average Jovian ship, then the empires could take them down with just sheer numbers. Lolwut: "Yes, you kids don't know how lucky you have it. These days noobs get given free tackle ships for PvP but back in the old days the only tackle ships we were given were our pods. We had to use them to bump their rookie ships out of alignment to stop them warping off." |

He is saying "think figuratively" rather than literally. Think of a time line as an abstraction of the passage of time. Then, figurative distance on the abstract time line, could represent literal time. |

Yeah, and the expression "such and such a thing is light years ahead of its competitors" is referring to distance and not time. The people who are confused are you guys who don't understand the expression in the first place.
So yeah, Zak is wrong.
EDIT: So if someone says "so and so is miles ahead in the tech race", they aren't confusing miles for units of time, they're speaking figuratively. "Light years ahead" is a more exaggerated use of the expression.
That's why I said "grasp of language is miles ahead" in my last post because I was hoping you would pick up on that (and not because I think I'm an expert in language because I'm not) |

I see what you're saying but I don't agree with it. A light year is a defined scientific measurement of distance, there is nothing figurative about it and it doesn't have anything to do with a time line.

Light year, is a measure of distance. 'Ahead' is a relative term, for direction.
1 light year = 9.4605284 +ù 1015 meters

And, a "time line" is a means of depicting the order of events in history, that also uses a scale that allows us to see the relative time that passed between those events.
If we set the end of the last ice age (10K BCE) as 0 on our time line, and set current day (call it 2000 CE) to be 12 inches away, then each inch would approximate 1000 years. Tings like domestication of cattle, establishment of the first code of laws, first alphabetic language, etc, could be plotted as various inches and fraction of inches along the line.
Here, the well defined unit of distance know as the "inch" is used figuratively to represent the passage of literal time.
You could then say, Faster Than Light Travel is miles beyond us, technologically (which on the scale of inch = 1000 years would be a very long time). This would be hyperbole (intentional exaggeration to make a point) to demonstrate that we are not even close to getting there.
Since it is pure hyperbole, we do not need to specifically designate a unit of time to the unit of distance on our time line, since a mile is clearly an absurd unit to be applied to any time line.
Light Years is just a further over-exaggeration to make the point that we are not even close, in figurative distance on an abstract time line, or literal passage of time on a clock, calendar, or writing of history books. |

Except that is the answer to the question "Is your ship fast?"
That answer would seem to indicate a distance divided by time to indicate speed, with Kessel Run being the distance and 12 parsecs being the time.
If, the intention is that the Kessel Run is a time, and parsec is a distance, then the "less than" is an indication of slow rather than fast.

In the star wars universe, ships cannot go through stars and planets. They must calculate trajectory that avoid them.
What makes Han Solo an awesome pilot is not an insane speed. It's his hability to calculate an insanely short path. That's how he beats bigger, faster ships.
To take an analogy, it's like when you make a trip in 20 carrier jumps, and solo can do it in 12 jumps. Don't feed the trolls. |

[geek on] In the expanded universe fiction, it's explained that the Kessel run involves going close to a cluster of black holes. If your ship isn't fast enough, if you shave the distance too much, you'll be sucked into one and destroyed. [/geek off]

Quote:[Excerpt from In-game Faction/standings tab information] The Society of Conscious Thought is three centuries old and was founded by a Jovian named Ior Labron, who was in search of spiritual enlightenment. The Society has since then taken many guises and been anything from a religious sect full of hermits to a political institute playing the power game. Today, the Society is mainly known for their scholastic achievements, their schools are widely regarded as the best ones in the world of EVE and rich and influential parents everywhere fight to get their kids admitted.

Yes, I know this. But I am also entirely aware that the entirety of that statement was retconned after about a thousand people sent Lucas letters telling him he was a imbecile for writing that. So basically, a total cover up for his s***ty writing ability.

You are lightyears away from even contemplating reading even a small portion of the thread, aren't you?
Also you guys are being too hard on Lucas. It's not like he's going back and changing the sequence of events that establish Han's scoundrel nature into an alternate version where a professional bounty hunter somehow misses a point blank shot from under a table allowing Han to justifiably fire back in self defence.

who really give a F'k about the phrase.
Miles ahead is a distance indicative years ahead is a time indicative.
So there is nothing wrong with using light years ahead in the OP.
if you are reading it as a measure of time I suggest you plug in basic reading into your training plan asap. That is the Way, the Tao.

So there is nothing wrong with using light years ahead in the OP.
if you are reading it as a measure of time I suggest you plug in basic reading into your training plan asap.

Jeeze end this thread already 
End of the day its a SoCT ship and one of the founding members was a jove. Ior Labron the Jovian student of Gorda Hoje founded the Society of Conscious Thought[1] in AD 23044 with the the primary aim of discovering the meaning of life.
If somebody gets a real jove ship you may aswell end EvE now as they will pretty much go around killing everything and not get scratched.
The SoCT are a peacful thoughtful race so im dammed to understand why they gave us a 666 slot ship.
TBh they prob found the design in his hanger with no Jove modifications on it and decided to re produce it under NPC guide lines.
Oh if anyone says the Jove are dead there not ffs..........

Perhaps we are taking the meaning of light year out of context. What if OP was referring to the year being lighter than another heavier year. Of course this makes no sense at all and probably doesn't help the discussion one bit, but it's very late and I'm a bit punchy. |

In honesty I believe the soct ships are Jove, just very old obsolete designs that the jove no longer consider important thus shared the blueprints with soct, after all the soct ships do have similarities reminiscent of the jove ships we do know about.
I mean if you compare the gnosis to something like the eidolon, the gnosis in a way looks like a very old much chunkier version of the sleek design their modern ships have. |

Sourcing: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kessel_Run
A kessel run was a one way, 18 parsec shortcut trip used by smugglers. It has a standard distance. The 12 parsecs quote, is a joke, because parsecs is time, and saying that you could run a kessel run in 12 parsecs is the same as saying you ran a marathon in only 17 miles.

Even the four races that Pod pilots are culled from don't use Pod pilots ships exclusively. The Amarr fleet that faced the Jove was a Navy fleet, not a Pod fleet.

According to lore, Jovians gave pod technology to the non-jovians (Caldari). The main reason so few people can become capsuleers, is the pods are specifically designed for Jovians and their genetic upgrades.
Basically, any Jove could get the implants needed and hop in a pod. Very few "other" humans can. Don't worry miners, I'm here to help!

well, it could be ... I'd consider a "leap" into a woman's body to be a "massive change".  One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

You guys have seriously dumb expectations of Jovian technology. The Jove are the tech 2 race, the capsuleer race (do you guys even remember where t2 came from??). Other than in a few specific areas pod pilots are at an equivelent tech level to the Jove already and with the advent of t3 are probably beyond them in certain areas.
Take the much lauded battle of Vak'Atioth. It took the Jove fleet 6 hours to destroy 200 pre-capsuleer amarr empire subcaps despite knowing in advance when and where the amarr were coming and refitting their supercap to face them (tracking titan ftw). This is an amarrian fleet from a time before ships like the omen and executioner were even invented, never mind t2 ships. The Jove fleet meanwhile had interceptors/assault ships, sniper hacs and a tracking titan (when the amarr had no caps at all). How many amarr empire npcs do you think a capsuleer fleet of sniperhacs/t2 frig wolfpack backed by tracking titan would destroy in 6 hours? Seriously you try facing scorch with t1 lasers (the amazing jovian lasers are probably just t2 crystals).
Jove tech is better than capsuleer tech, but not by much and the superiority probably even then is down to t2 capsuleer tech being based on t1 pre-capsuleer foundations. Given the angels ships are based on jove tech simply imagining a t2 (8/8/8) laser machariel is probably closest to what a proper Eidolon is like. Pretty damn awesome but not wtfbbq invincible.
Stuff like polaris is no more an example of jove tech than concord is of DED. They are like that because of game mechanics, nothing else.
As for the gnosis it is based on a jovian battlecruiser but with anything hawt ripped out when operating for SoCT as the Jove don't want any more of their tech getting out. T2ify the gnosis and you would pretty much have what a jovian cruiser would be like.
