I was taking a scenic stroll around new eden, when I discovered by moving close to the stars, I was not hauled around in a high radial per second orbit as would be normal.
Therefore, I need to ask the question, Where is the gravity?
because otherwise I can ether conclude that there is none in this universe, Or as to what seems more appropriate as all ships at rest come to a specific pitch, I can say that there is gravity, and ships have to use ballast and hot air to maintain their position.
Therefore, I have to say that we are not in a actual universe, but in an unknown "finite" area where the mechanics, constants and the abilities of us all can be changed at will.
We are not real, but experiments in a testing lab. Controlled by someone |

Quit being paranoid, I expect my research is will result in a brand new type of weapon when I get the orbit physics working again. |

They don't?

Well, The star example is a simple example, Seeing as the planets are supposed to move I guess the noticeable examples would be everything in system as everything with mass is being affected by gravity. |

Fraid not as large masses attract small masses. Therefore as long as there is a large mass in system there will be an orbit of an angular velocity proportional to the mass of the star around the centre of mass in the system. |

Planets did rotate on their axis in the past. However, as apparently it made the Dust514 players a bit dizzy caused by the ludicrous speeds the planets rotated at, said planets were ordered to stop spinning.
I want to see this in person

Nevil Oscillator wrote:Maybe distance actually means distance from minimum safe distance.
Let me explain.
All objects with mass attract every other object that has mass with a force that scales with the product (Read: The mass of one object multiplied by the other object's mass) of the two masses involved.
This force is only reduced by distance and not negated completely. Therefore everything in the system has to orbit the star to maintain its distance from said star, if you was close to the star, the time taken to circle the star would be very noticeable but due to EvE physics it does not, that is what I was referring to.
Nevil Oscillator wrote:No my point is that if 1G is all The Earth exerts, do you need to calculate the effect of it ? most of the time probably not.
How many G does a star exert ?
Yes because 1G is a fairly big bit of acceleration. (about 10 meters per second per second)
And well, I don't know, depends on the mass of the star and your distance from it. Look up Newton's law of universal gravitation |

1G is the value of strength of earth's gravity at its surface. It already has distance involved. |
