Im curious, how much of illogic things in EVE we can found with combinied forces. For example: - Making one drake BPC lasts approx 7 hrs. Making one needs only 3 hrs. How come that proces of printing one copy needs more time than building actual thing? - If cap is recharging in cloaked state, how come that we cant reload launchers when cloaked? - How come that light drone which occupies only 5m3 has capacity of 1200 m3. - How come that lab slot is still occupied during calculated job period even if job is canceled? - How come that NPC defender pops our torp in one shoot? - How come that NPC rat dont agroo us even if we are mallesting his buddy 5 km away? - How come that ALL wrecks has remaining of electricity? - How come NPC rats never runs out of ammo? - How come beer is not listed within other comodities? When everyone knows that space travel would not be possible without beer. - etc..

Edited by: Ather Ialeas on 03/01/2007 22:45:25 - How come none of the ships never run out of fuel of any kind? - How come lasers do ELECTROMAGNETIC damage? - How come ships can only warp between a set of predefined points unless they run out of cap? - How come you have to accelerate in subspace to enter warp anyways? - How come your ship's cargo bay/drone bay/capacitor capacity/damage of your guns/etc. can be either increased or decreased just by spending some time reading? - How come smartbombs don't pop cans/wrecks when they dumbfire everything else?
OK, anyone else?
edit: Haffrage, they make sense in a gameplay world, but not in "real" world which the OP is most likely referring to...don't take it so seriously

How about this one?
How come, when you reprocess an item into it's individual materials (losing some of it in the process) it ends up being bigger than the original item?

Because there's only one dude there to copy it and he does it by hand. When you build something there's an entire workforce?

Launchers are exterior modules and reloading them would blow your cover?
Quote:
- How come that light drone which occupies only 5m3 has capacity of 1200 m3.
Because it folds up really well inside the drone bay?
You can make just about anything in EVE 'logical' with a little bit of creativity. ~~~~~~~~~ Caldari. It's so easy a Minmatar could do it. |

Its like in real life, if you read about overclocking you can make a PC faster even if you bought a very slow one.
If you read a book about Car tuning..... If you read a book about Airplanes.....
Dude you can make everything bigger and better as it was if you know much about it, which means that you have to read a book or watch a movie or whatever. _______________________ Mining makes mad |

- How come that NPC rat dont agroo us even if we are mallesting his buddy 5 km away? Lazy.
- How come that ALL wrecks has remaining of electricity? Small antimatter annihilation from the leaking power core 
- How come NPC rats never runs out of ammo? Same reason concord does nothing to help you against rats?
- How come beer is not listed within other comodities? When everyone knows that space travel would not be possible without beer. Because EVE is a dark dark place

Dust particles in space: above a certain speed they would rip your ship to shreds.

It's just like software development, a good product is 2/3rds design, 1/3rd actual coding. Plus, in regards to copying, there's probably all sorts of legal copyright backwork that you dont see. We all know how long that stuff takes, just look at lawyers and conveyancing :P
- If cap is recharging in cloaked state, how come that we cant reload launchers when cloaked? Cap is just energy, reloading is moving things, would blow your cover.
- How come that light drone which occupies only 5m3 has capacity of 1200 m3. EVERYONE knows drones have a Bag of Holding in each one! For all your extra-planar storage needs!
- How come that lab slot is still occupied during calculated job period even if job is canceled? Gotta pack everything up even tho you've cancelled the job. Cant just leave those vials of chemicals and that tracing paper lying round :P
- How come that NPC defender pops our torp in one shoot? ,,, they dont? I've seen three explosions before when launching torps at NPCs, and all 6 torps have hit. Guessing three hit different torps.
- How come that NPC rat dont agroo us even if we are mallesting his buddy 5 km away? Fire Discipline. If you've been told to defend a particular area, you defend that particular area, going cowboy could result in Blue on Blue (hmm, BoB)
- How come that ALL wrecks has remaining of electricity? Note you salvage semi-functional parts from wrecks. Ergo some parts of the wreck still function, perhaps generating electricity.
- How come NPC rats never runs out of ammo? Remember those Bags of Holding? :)
- How come beer is not listed within other comodities? When everyone knows that space travel would not be possible without beer. You cant drink beer when your stuck inside a capsule full of biomass :(
Hmm,,, but what else is there,,, - (Specific example) Guristas sometimes drop Kinetic shield hardeners when they pop. So why dont they actually activate them?
- Where does the infinite supply of jetcans come from?
- Where do asteroids come from? Lots of planets out there must explode without anyone noticing...
- Secure containers hold more than the space they take up,,, must be more bags of holding.
- If weapons dont hurt asteroids, but blow ships to pieces, how come mining lasers arent the 'I win' button of combat? ----------------- One word,, emo,,,

Edited by: Krxon Blade on 03/01/2007 23:30:54 My turn now :)
Q: (Specific example) Guristas sometimes drop Kinetic shield hardeners when they pop. So why dont they actually activate them? A: Discipline? Or Their religion forbides them to use kinetic hardeners?
Q: Where does the infinite supply of jetcans come from? A: Space dust collector grabs dust into containers. Glue is applied to form dust in container shape. Within one hour low temperature freezes glue which looses its kohesive force and can implodes and turn back to dust.
Q: Where do asteroids come from? Lots of planets out there must explode without anyone noticing... A: Space garbage. Even small objects has gravity. Gravity atract space dust. More dust = bigger roid.
Q: Secure containers hold more than the space they take up,,, must be more bags of holding. A: Due to planck subspace isovolumetric ... blah ... blah ...
Q: If weapons dont hurt asteroids, but blow ships to pieces, how come mining lasers arent the 'I win' button of combat? A: Cos their frequency is adjusted to match space dust. Remember how roids are forming? So lasers just grabs those dust from space dust colectors.

Q: Where does the infinite supply of jetcans come from?
A: Jetcans are made of 'Fake Matter'. This is a situation where space is coerced into 'thinking' it has a specific form, and a very very small amount (im talking mere molecules thickness) of real matter is applied to the outside of said shape. This way you could make hundreds of thousands of jetcans from a few kilograms of any type of real matter.
(ok I read too much science fiction, check out the book 'Anvil of Stars' by Greg Bear for a better explanation of how this fake matter idea works)
Q: Why do 'unguided' missiles never miss? I mean, 'miss' is the first four letters in the word missile FFS!!?! -=^=-

Because its a game that involves lots of people each with thier own defination of "fair" so, Game Balance(c) has to be taken into consideration.
Except when they where making up the caldari; they just laughed out loud and said WTH...

That sounds about right for the respawn rate in eve   Q.- Why do secure cans hold more in them then the space they take up, and why cant they make Bigger ones? Q2.- abd why cant we use the Hacking skill to ***** them open?

-Why do EM, EXP, KIN damage exist? They are all in the end a form of thermal damage on material. (kin and thermal actually pretty much same thing though, heat = atoms moving faster, EM heats stuff = atoms moving faster = stuff gets hot)
-Why does a ship orbiting an immobile target get transversal penalty on its guns? (eve programmers prolly too lazy to program the physics of this game accurately)
-How do armor and hull repairers work? Small lepricons repairing stuff between hull plates?
-What do gyrostabilizers have to do with boosted rate of fire and damage? Shouldnt this give better accurace only?
-Why do heatsinks give more damage on lasers ontop of the rate of fire boost?
-Why do lasers have range or falloff? Lasers is EM wave, if ship can lock target lasers should reach it.

Why is it that after centuries of developement the Minmatar are using projectile technology that originated back in the 14th century or so?
Why do Minmatar use Ladar systems when thats a Laser based system?
Why do minmatar get Target Painters when not only does it benefit Caldari more but its also a Laser based system implying it should be amarian or something?
How is it that Caldari get to be the high-thech people when Armor repair seems more advanced in that metal has to be Regenerated by nano particles whereas shields are simply kept on by pumping energy into them?
Why dont all Missiles have explosive damage (though that would be evil)?
How is it that we can simply park next to asteroid fields without being pounded to bits by them?
Why are drones so stupid?
Why do the amarians still believe in their god after being pwned by the Jove and losing their hold on the matars?
How is it possible for the Minmatars to even make a titan? (Prob played Katamari for a while to collect the parts they needed, o well)

Edited by: Enders Vaal on 04/01/2007 01:37:15 -Why is it, when you stop moving towards an object in space, say you're aligning, your ship will float down slightly and stop once 'straight' -Why do you deaccelerate in warp or just normal flying without any counter-thrust?
These two irk me for no reason. They're both not logical in the space environment Maybe CCP should add inertia, then we'll see who's bumping who :P -------------------------------------------------------
