It would be all-missiles, all the time, since they'd be the only ones who could ever hit anything. Maybe with the odd drone thrown in for good measureGǪ

Also, while not Newtonian physics exactly, there would be no cloaks and the only ships that anyone could fly would be Minmatar GÇö all other races would have died long ago due to overheating. |

1 - Space is vacum so no rockets can be fire off. The need to have a gravity pull to do it. Stopped there since I ran out of breath from the laughter.  |

Quote:Yah you can fire rockets in vacuum space...... NOT there is no air to travel in and the have no impact to any object in space. Rockets don't need air to travel. In fact, the vacuum of space makes them far more efficient since there's (next to) no drag. Reaction drives do not work like tires or propellers GÇö they do not GÇ£grab onGÇ¥ to material around them and drag themselves forward through friction or pressure differentials. Instead, it's pure Newton III: reaction mass goes in one direction; body of the rocket goes in the other.
So you're quite wrong about your second claim too: there is an object to impact with GÇö the rocket itself. That's how the rocket moves.
Quote:Because there is no gravity to make the impact. Gravity has nothing to do with impacts (other than in the sense that mass and gravity tend to co-existGǪ but then you don't need mass to have an impact either). The presence of gravity well do have some odd effects on travel, though, such as the fact that when you co-orbit with another object, you have to slow down to catch upGǪ 
Incidentally, this all points to an explanation for why ships in EVE behave the way they do: they don't use reaction drives but rather some curious GÇ£rolling down the gentle inclines of space foldsGÇ¥ drive.

Oh, and obligatory optical effects link. Can't believe I didn't remember that one until page 3.
