I dont see any propulsion engines pushing the ship in the opposite way to stop its velocity.
So Im curious as to how ships break/slow down in eve .. LOL

Magic.
Its done by ******* magic. ******* magic comes out of one side, does some magic **** on the other side, and bippity boppity who gives a **** the ******* ship stops because ******* reasons.

How a ship breaks and how a ship brakes are two entirely different questions.

When a spaceship wants to brake, it opens its intakes and collects shiptoasts from the local environment. The shiptoasts add considerable mass to the ship, thereby reducing its velocity to near zero. When it needs to move again, it ejects these shiptoasts into the forumspace, thus returning to normal mass.
It should be noted that certain modules, like the MWD or 1600mm plates interfere with or otherwise reduce the efficiency of these shiptoast intakes, and so it takes you longer to slow down with those modules equipped. |

Fun answer: MAGIC!
Less-than-fun answer: lore-wise has to do with the warp drives. They affect subspace even when not in use and it acts as "drag" on a ship.
Real reason: the DEVS decided to use fluid Newtonian physics model because actual zero-G physics are a ***** to maneuver in.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Given your name, I ask that you don't post in the "1 and 1/2 months later" thread where the OP hates cats, though we call her the crazy cat lady for her infamous quote of how she wants me to die in real life.

Ships slow down due to drag from those white flecks of stuff you see passing by when you're moving. I call it spacepoo but I'm sure there's a technical term. |

The ships shields act in a similar way to a stasis webifier. The energy barrier is directed in such a way as to oppose the motion of the ship. :roleplay:
Personally though, I use my crew of leprechauns to add copious amounts of gold to my ships to increase mass and slow it down.
This one's a bit over the edge guys.
Locked for breaking... well, pretty much all the rules.

Good question OP! And for all the other questions you never wanted an answer to..
Please see my thread Q&A with Doctor 0000
Somehow it's still more popular than T&A with Doctor 0000.
Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.-á |

Or you could just put the engines on one side and rotate as necessary.

Ships break by moderating their Infinite Improbability Drive. The "thrusters" you see are really just a exhaust system for the reactors.

Not even that. Exhaust would imply that mass is being ejected which implies that ships contain an infinite amount of stuff to shoot out as flame from faux-thrusters.
But what is really odd is why hasn't someone put (huge) truck-nuts on a thorax?

They break because I fire projectiles and missiles at them.
Sorry, was that not the answer?

Easy, feedback loop with the improbability drive. Though, if you leave it running for to long, you fill up the entire universe. This is very bad! |

The warp drive generates strange effects on a ship. The ship experiences friction with increases exponentially, proportional to velocity and mass. This creates a fluid-like effect the the ship.
Also, there is no space. There is only yourself.

Sounds like a fun question to answer...
The engines on the ship function without fuel via a unique interaction with the Higgs Field. Due to this unique interaction, the Higgs Field, is able to induce considerable drag on the engines and thus, onto the ship. |

If that was the case you'd never be able to enter another planet's orbit, as one planet may move several km/s faster relative to another planet. Then, another question would be what would be the reference point? Velocity relative to what?
You could start coming up with answers like "velocity relative to local gravity well" but then what about space in between planets? |
