He may have phrased it badly, but if you read the OP and not just the headline, it's obvious that he is talking about in-game representation.

What makes you think he's an adult btw? EVE is rated pegi 12.

No, it really isnt.

Yes, it really is. Unless you're purposely missing the point. Buuuuuuut anyway, I'm out of here. I forgot to bring my high horse, so I can't stay with you.

Congratulations GD. To this reasonable question there are only two serious and helpful answers in this thread. All others are purposely missing the point or direct towards third party tools for JUMP range calculations, which are also not what OP has asked for.

No, it really isnt.

I recently looked at my Remote Sensing skill and it says this:

The ability to gather and analyze remote sensing data from satellites in orbit around a planet and produce properly calibrated surveys.

Level 1: allows scans within 1 ly
Level 2: allows scans within 3 ly
Level 3: allows scans within 5 ly
Level 4: allows scans within 7 ly
Level 5: allows scans within 9 ly

Exactly how far is a lightyear? I assume it is one jump but I doubt it. Any clarification is appreciated.

And normally you guys are good at poasting

You must be new

Found the white knight.

Wait.....

Because continuing a pointless discussion with you would equal to good posting, right? I rather be a bad poster then.

Uh huh. And this is a sensible, non-idiotic question that cant be looked up in seconds, quineg?

Irrelevant

can we get a banana for scale ?

Give or take gravitional distortion and the observer's perception based on the point and condition inherent in that observation.

What? Light travels the same speed in all reference frames.

depends on the medium it is traveling through (light in water is considerably slower than in air and that is again slower than in a vacuum, it's the principle refraction is based on), though gravitic lensing primarily changes the direction photos are travelling in, not their speed so much, though the visual effect is quite similar to refraction.

... following the straightest path through curved space-time ...

This is inaccurate.

Light always travels at the same speed.

When light travels through a medium,
it spends time interacting with "stuff", (atoms absorbing and re-emitting)
which makes it appear to be slower,
while it actually isn't.

Medium is independent of reference frame. If light is traveling through water it'll still be traveling through water if I look at it standing on the shore or in a spaceship in orbit. And it'll be traveling at the same speed from both perspectives.

Gravitational lensing doesn't actually change the path of light - the light is merely following the straightest path through curved space-time, so it appears to bend because of the local curvature of space.

Oh ok. Sorry.

I thought that the passage of time appeared to be altered the closer to the speed of light you reached, therefore the length of time to travel the sdistance would vary depending if you were the subject or the object.

I really am trying to remember this stuff from school, so Ill take your word for it :)

By the way, this is why time dilation happens: something that's moving very fast relative to you is moving through space, but since they can only travel through spacetime at c, they have to be moving more slowly through time to compensate (from your point of view).
