This post is to make a list of all the things Eve does, whether for aethestic purposes or game mechanics, that are not quite in line with the laws of physics. For this post, please suspend the "they are 1000 years in the future!" responses and just have fun with it.
Some that come to mind:
1) Banking in space when your ship turns. 2) Pew Pew Pew noises when that ship next to you fires. 3) There are no engines that slow you down--you just turn off your thrusters and slowly stop. 4) Are these planets actually orbiting this star?
Add your own!

Eve's tech says that only binary systems can have gates, all Eve's systems are single-star

The ships have wings. The missiles have wings. Everything has wings.
But no-one can explain why!

Edited by: JamesTalon on 01/02/2006 19:35:56 Actually, the sound from other ships is added by the pods system. They mention that in one of the Chronicles when the Caldari first test them.

Didn't it mention in the official fiction somewhere that they artificially added sounds to the pods to enhance the interface?

not sure tho but i think they use the binary system as example, so the normal stargate beetwen far systems just force the use of biggest stargates to force the 2 starts (origin and destination) work as a binary system for the jump

Electron/Ion/Neutron blasters. Clearly blasters are really particle cannons, but they probably shouldn't be broken down like that, especially since Electrons and Ions are almost the same thing. And how does Antimatter in an Ion cannon work exactly?
Of course, for that matter, antimatter ammo in general. Unless those shells use tiny amounts of AM, small guns using AM ammo should be able to blast the hell out of Titans.
And yes, sound is a pod system. It's meant to help stimulate all our senses and increase our situational awareness in the pod. I've always thought it was a clever excuse for sound in space. -------------- What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward?

5) When I blow up a pirate, my ship shakes. (Don't tell me this is an "expected" observation and my pod recreates it. lol)

Edited by: Dark Shikari on 01/02/2006 19:41:57 The sound is entirely explained--your computer simulates it for you.
The planets don't orbit in real time because the servers can't handle it.

#3 was explained in Star Trek, inertia dampners.
How about a ship doing 0 to 12 AU a second in like 10 seconds not kill you, simple answer, it's 1000's of years into the future.
Next thing is the laws of physics. Given enough technology what we think of as laws (sound barrier, manned flight, going to the moon") may just be something to overcome.
What would happen if you could slow light down to travel at a 100 KPH?
What if you could generate a gravity field without mass?
What if you could change an objects mass without adding or subtracting mass? Fear the Ibis of doom. |

Edited by: trust trd on 01/02/2006 19:53:06 IMHO, Eve is a Sci-Fi fantasy and is based on their CCP's laws of physics and should not be compared to our own laws of physics. This altered state of reality is very common in movies where the director creates the world they want to fit the story they are doing. Quentin Tarantino is notorious for doing this on a very subtle level.

You cannot break the laws of physics. It may be possible to bypass them. For example, warp drive.

You cannot slow light. You can make it bounce around a lot so that overall it moves much slower.

Nothing rules that out in modern physics.

IMHO, i think this is supposed to be a "fun" thread. We aren't saying eve should adhere to all the laws of physics.

Shockwaves in space? Traveling through what medium?
Btw, you guys are taking this way to seriously. It was meant to be fun! Oh well, that's Eve.

I don't think this thread is about explaining any of the things in eve yeah...but:
I like putting bookmarks 15km past objects and then warping inside of the object and watching my ship just...glide through it as if to say "Oh pardon me"

LOL - clearly the POD has a slow sound card, as many sounds slows the game big time for most :]

Number 1 is easy! The belly thrusters are the strongest, so it banks and uses them to turn!

euhm... you can slow light , even stop it... it has been done , read up on some scientific articles if you're intrested

Edited by: 31i73 on 01/02/2006 20:53:26 Ballistics control units.. There's not real ballistics in space.. Lasers can miss Missiles warp to their targets Rats don't warp, they just appear or disappear Rats can mwd in deadspace you can warp away from deadspace warp scrambler doesn't affect mwding bubbles don't affect mwding damage resistance (think of a spaceship and its T2 pair, and how much punishment the T2 version can take) You can't normally warp closer than 15km to your target. You can't ram & damage somthing, ships and cans just bounce around. oh and passive targeter uses acustic measures..
And for the earlier comments: Ligth can go slower than sound, when the medium is rigth :) I know it has been done and experimented on already. Also, Ions and electrons aren't "almost the same" Ion is what you have, if you remove or add an electron to/from an atom. I also think AM is potent stuff, not sure, however, if even the tiniest amount could do that much.

It doesn't actually move slower--the material causes the path of light to become longer because of the light having to bounce more because it is inhibited by atoms and other particles in the way, IIRC. Thus it takes longer for it to move through the material. -- Proud member of the [23].

The speed of light is not a constant. You are probably thinking of Einstein's constant C, which is the speed of light IN A VACUUM.
3) There are no engines that slow you down--you just turn off your thrusters and slowly stop. Space is not a vacuum. There is a (low) level of hydrogen and other debris which would slow a body down eventually, although tbh not at the speeds we fly at.
My query would be how does the ore get from my mining laser to my cargo hold? Light can push, but how does it suck?

Mega-Maid can go from suck to blow, so why not a laser from Blow to Suck.
