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.

Other games took it all, so EVE does not have gravity. Also why worry about stars and gravity? I find more troubling that all stars look the same from every distance, be it 1 or 80 AU. It's like having a bright firefly splattered on the windshield...

This being one of those questions that queries why something doesn't exist/doesn't function in New Eden as we would expect, it's almost guaranteed to be covered by The Lore... and if it isn't, it's space magic. As it is, I would love to see the day someone's space pixels get dragged, slowly but surely, into the heart of a red giant. If space-magic could only be so kind. |

You're not breathing whenever you dunk your head underwater, are you? Well okay. The term was "respiratory arrest" and I wanted to convey the same idea without sounding like a tool, but respiratory arrest and being unable to breathe are not quite the same thing. So I did end up writing something stupid.

There is gravity in EVE it is just universal rather than related to object s like stars and planets and always downwards.
The other quirky thing is gravity forces ships and stations to always orient the same way up (you never see a station sideways or upside down relative to your ship) but the gravity is special and does not make the aforementioned objects descend, they in fact float.
NOTE: It would be rather amusing to see the tears if we got gravity and had to manually aim and compensate for drop when firing non laser weapons. |

than every Moon and every Planet should have Gravity and the Ore belts needs to dissapear since they would never formup in an unrealistic Halfcircle<(with nothing in the center) but as a giant circle around a Moon or Planet.... and why cant i has a Pink Fur covered Myrm and when Lauching drones i want poop noices and when activate the armor repper i want my Prophecy to Purrr and i need a Bastion Mode for my dragoon cuz when i wait for loot and paint my toenails i Die alot .... sry forgot its stupid and not a wish you what Game , be happy with what you got or search for a game with a more realistic Environment |

That is not correct, there is nothing 3D software likes to do better than simulate physics, unfortunately that has never made a very good action movie or action video game. Works wonders for suspense and people being at the mercy of the elements or lack of them as the case may be. George Lucas supposedly directed his space ship battles on WW2 dogfights, real zero atmosphere/gravity has some odd properties that doesn't suit such goings on. However I'm not sure that all gigantic space objects need to be quite as passive as they are.
So your saying that isn't a graphics related issue ?

We are not real, but experiments in a testing lab. Controlled by someone EVE's space physics is probably easiest to compare to "tennis balls in water" (non-rigid balls in non-viscous fluid). It's of course not accurate or realistic but it the gaming experience is better since that's what most people find easiest to understand and adapt to. There is no gravity and the planets and moons are stationary.

Stationary?
So it's the bookmarks that are moving every once in a while?
I would assume it makes more sense to believe that it's the celestials which are moving, but in any way it's definitely SOMETHING that doesn't keep it's position. Even though it doesn't happen daily, the fact that instabookmarks have to be adjusted every once in a while means that "stationary" is a rather relative term. |

Even though it doesn't happen daily, the fact that instabookmarks have to be adjusted every once in a while means that "stationary" is a rather relative term. Suns, planets, moons, gates, stations and bookmarks don't move. They have absolute fixed coordinates. We have, however, changed the size of stations and gates and that may affect your insta-bookmarks. Wow, thank you. :D

This.
I reckon that somewhere in the lore, possibly not yet encountered by CCP staff, i was found that, very early in space travel, the limitations of the human mind, having evolved in fluid environments, were not able to compute the trajectories and velocities of zero friction space.
So, very early on, space flight computers governed the control interface so that ships would respond AS IF they were submarines in water. This proved to be such a sensational invention, so popular with everyone, that this system of space flight control became ubiquitous. Insurance companies soon required it as a matter of policy, and that was that.
All this happened before the Eve gate was ever built, and since the Empire races achieved their tech from its remnants, they also use this inherently sensible method of controlling space flight.
Occasionally some half wit complains that he is a space lord, and not a submarine pilot, and hacks into the central flight comp core to make things "real". And then he spirals into a sun, or asteroid, and is heard from no more... because the human brain can't handle real physics.
The sounds are also part of the flight computer making things easier for human biology. We use aural signals as an interface to the world, and so the ship computer translates light and shock wave cues into sounds we recognise, and may respond to.
With regard to the star system bodies not orbiting or even moving, I dunno. Maybe that is just lazy programming from CCP devs.

For a similar scenario I once had to destroy conventional astrophysics, the solution that I came up with was that the equivalent of sub warp engines are not rocket engines as we know today but work through some strange yet unknown medium. A medium that the engines are not entirely able to detach from thus causing the friction like effect that conveniently provides all the stability required for an action shoot em up.

How close are we talking about for gravity of an object to be strong enough to noticeably effect things ?
If you are that close to a star, I'm not sure that my main question would be why isn't the gravity having any effect.

Everything with a mass exerts gravitation force, it is just negligible for those with a mass in tons much less than a moon and not a great deal for a moon either as demonstrated in video footage from 1969.
Although Titan (A moon of Saturn I think it is) is apparently not far off the mass of Earth.

So maybe 0.25G but that is also going to depend on how close you are to it. Earth has 0.25G at a certain distance from the surface. I haven't looked into moon or planetary interaction so I don't know what a ship needs to do when it gets there. According to this Gravity the sun only exerts 26G

A 24 hour rotation isn't going to be visible except in time lapse. A few planets in our solar system rotate at 3 times that speed. Errm yeah wonder if that makes a difference ?

We are not real, but experiments in a testing lab. Controlled by someone EVE's space physics is probably easiest to compare to "tennis balls in water" (non-rigid balls in non-viscous fluid). It's of course not accurate or realistic but it the gaming experience is better since that's what most people find easiest to understand and adapt to. There is no gravity and the planets and moons are stationary.
Ooh, if only they weren't.
If only stations would orbit their planet / moon they are on. Same with a POS or any other celestial.
It would make EVE fun...warp to your bookmark, just to see your POS 149km away...

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.

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 |

I believe I did mention distance. t's only a fair bit of acceleration if you are close enough for it to have that effect, which if the closest you can warp to the example I just tried is 16000km, then you are going to have to align to the planet on micro warp drive for a few hours before that gravitational effect that CCP has ignored would be noticeable.
