"Yeah we are going to have to go right to LUDICROUS speed!"
Current we use AU as a means of warping between gates, it takes such a long time to travel using AU, can we introduce Parsecs PC/sec for battleships??? It took me over an hour to travel 30 jumps. While it's fun to just watch spaceballs while clicking each gate during long travel times it really kills immersion.
How would people feel about having AU and Parsecs as a travel speed? I would pay ISK to travel faster. I would pay Aurum. |

A Parsec is a UNIT OF DISTANCE, NOT SPEED or TIME.

Why don't we get flying mounts in game - perhaps a Time Lost Navy Proto-Drake? You could fly to any system in EvE in a few minutes AFK...
We already have had added to the game WoW Portals (Titans, Portal Generators), Hearth Stones (Jump Clones), why not go all the way to WoWifying EvE and add flying mounts CCP...

Seriously, space by definition is large, consecutive whinefests by newbies used to instant gratification have resulted in a lot of the game turning into the same old cheap easy rubbish to be found in other games, EvE is not other games, its supposed to be HARD. |

...and slow down too. Have you flown an Orca on Sisi lately ? My god.....the pain........
"The current design has the fulcrum set on T1 Cruisers. If you're flying a T1 Cruiser with no modifications to your warp speed you will not notice any difference warping after the patch. Every ship that warps faster than a cruiser will see their acceleration speed up (and therefore see significant reductions in overall time warping) and every ship larger than a cruiser will see their acceleration slow down (and therefore spend more time in warp). The small ships are being sped up by a larger degree than the big ships are being slowed down, so the average warp speed of an EVE ship is going to be getting faster.

You're already moving MUCH faster than lightspeed when you warp, not to mention jumps and gates.
For reference, light takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel 1 AU. |

Electromagnetic waves inside the warp bubble have the same speed as electromagnetic waves outside the warp bubble.
To be precise: The ship inside the warp bubble doesn't move at all. Actually, nothing inside the warp bubble moves during warp travel.
End of nitpicking.

So wait, are you claiming American's somehow have superior cinematic taste based on your own view of reality? Because I have a one word answer to that: Kardashians.
Look, just because you feel you have a superior take on Brooks films, doesn't mean that every other bugger has to avoid finding something to love about a bad Brooks film. Why do I say this? Because it's the only principal that explains Adam Sandler's film career in my opinion. |

Electromagnetic waves inside the warp bubble have the same speed as electromagnetic waves outside the warp bubble. To be precise: The ship inside the warp bubble doesn't move at all. Actually, nothing inside the warp bubble moves during warp travel. Edit: And to be even more precise: One could say that not even the warp bubble moves. It changes it's relative position, yes, but not because it moves, but because it changes space surrounding it. To compare: A common misunderstanding is that people say that galaxies within our real universe drift apart, which isn't the case. It's just that the distances between galaxies increase, because the size of the universe increases. Mind. Blown. End of nitpicking.
Even gravity cannot influence things faster than the speed of light. It is a hard limit. You can't work your way around it by doing something like building a super long pole and pushing it so the other end moves at the same time - the compression wave will travel through it at the speed of sound int its material.
In short, you can't cheat by saying "its just the warp bubble lol" - because even it, and alterations in the physical structure of the universe (say, bending it in such a way you can hop, A Wrinkle In Time style) are only going to propagate at the speed of light at best.
"the ship inside the warp bubble doesn't move at all!" actually, yes it does, objectively. From any frame of reference outside it, it moves. It will still be bound by the speed of light. Heck, if it was in a bubble moving at the speed of light and it had headlights, the light from those headlights would appear to stand still from outside the ship - because even though inside the bubble it is travelling at the speed of light, outside, it would be limited by the speed of all massless particles and travel at c.
The universe does weird **** when you approach that constant. |

Except for about 3 lines, that was Mel's most juvenile effort, and even he admits it was the beginning of the end for him.
But congratulations on being the only person I've run into in 48 years who disses "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles". That's actually a pretty brave and daring stance tbh.

Clm the freak down. Jesus.
I'm wondering who the heck this other Brooks is, that's all. And I clarified who the other one was with just titles, and no opinion about at all.
