Krxon Blade Caldari Apogee Group	Posted - 2007.01.03 22:38:00 - [1] 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.. Your turn --
Haffrage Revelations Inc. Shroud Of Darkness	Posted - 2007.01.03 22:43:00 - [2] Uh, sorry to burst your bubble, but most of those things make sense =/ -----
Ather Ialeas Amarr Karjala Inc. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.01.03 22:45:00 - [3] 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
maCH'Ett3 Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.03 22:46:00 - [4] 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? Originally by: Devil Hanzo (ISD) I got pwned [by maCH]! Sigeh?
LUGAL MOP'N'GLO	Posted - 2007.01.03 22:48:00 - [5] Originally by: Krxon Blade - 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? 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? Quote: - If cap is recharging in cloaked state, how come that we cant reload launchers when cloaked? 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.
jijii Crystal Meth And Guns	Posted - 2007.01.03 22:56:00 - [6] Originally by: Ather Ialeas Edited by: Ather Ialeas on 03/01/2007 22:45:25 - How come lasers do ELECTROMAGNETIC damage? Isn't light an electromagnetic wave?
Verus Potestas Caldari The I-Win Button	Posted - 2007.01.03 22:59:00 - [7] Originally by: Ather Ialeas How come lasers do ELECTROMAGNETIC damage? uh... --- In third-party forums we trust Did i ask for anyone to copy this into their sig? No, ****heads, its my text, not yours.
Beor0d Stardust Heavy Industries Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:00:00 - [8] 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
Verus Potestas Caldari The I-Win Button	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:01:00 - [9] Why so ships vanish in front of my eyes when they logoffsky before I engage but I get them tackled? --- In third-party forums we trust Did i ask for anyone to copy this into their sig? No, ****heads, its my text, not yours.
ShadowKi Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:03:00 - [10] Why is there an upper limit on speed in space? (although I admit a BS like a Domi would be a ***** to turn going at 5 km/s+ without some inertial stabs)

Preliator Caldari The Wolves' Pack	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:04:00 - [11] Originally by: Krxon Blade 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. Already answered - If cap is recharging in cloaked state, how come that we cant reload launchers when cloaked? Already answered too - How come that light drone which occupies only 5m3 has capacity of 1200 m3. TARDIS technology! - 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 Your turn See, just needs a little imagination!
ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:04:00 - [12] Why am I not currently in posession of a titan? That makes no sense to me. --------------------------------------------------------------------

Nikla Uthaan Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:08:00 - [14] 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? 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,,, The Mishing is an ethnic group in the districts of North Lakhimpur, Sonitput, Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Sibsagar, Jorhat, Golaghat, Tinsukia of Assam.
Revona	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:17:00 - [15] How come such a good game makes people create such lame topics on its forums.
Krxon Blade Caldari Apogee Group	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:29:00 - [16] 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. --
Billy Sastard Amarr Zephyr Enterprises Inc. Astral Wolves	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:35:00 - [17] 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!!?! -=^=-
Winters Chill Amarr Scavenger Technologies	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:38:00 - [18] 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...
CaptainSeafort Gallente Through the Looking Glass	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:39:00 - [19] Originally by: Nikla Uthaan - Where do asteroids come from? Lots of planets out there must explode without anyone noticing... when a mummy asteroid and a daddy asteroid love each otehr very much, they kiss and do a special handshake, and 9 months later little asteroids appear =) "Planets and moons no longer hitch rides on player ships. Their towel privileges have been revoked." HHGG Lives on in EVE!
ReaperOfSly Gallente Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.01.03 23:57:00 - [20] Why can you fly into planets but if you try it with a moon, you bounce off? --------------------------------------------------------------------

When a mummy asteroid and a daddy asteroid love each other very much, they kiss and do a special handshake, and 9 months later little asteroids appear. =) 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? Long Live TEXAS!** Texans join the Texas channel in game plz.
Lyria Skydancer Amarr Queens of the Stone Age Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.01.04 00:15:00 - [22] -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.
hired goon Infinite Improbability Inc Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.01.04 00:18:00 - [23] Why do ships in eve bank left or right, whenever they turn? Why isn't half the crew of a capital ship killed by G-forces, whenever one shakes from being hit by a rocket? -omg-
Marquis Dean Repo Industries	Posted - 2007.01.04 00:19:00 - [24] Why does stuff explode after dealing EM damage to it, instead of just shutting down? Why does my tiny Hawk have a full 50% of the cargo bay of a freakin' huge Geddon, or any other BS. ------ ------
Slate Fistcrunch Direct Intent	Posted - 2007.01.04 00:25:00 - [25] Why do missiles have fins?
Tousaka Langley	Posted - 2007.01.04 00:27:00 - [26] Why is constant thrust constant velocity on ships and missiles but not on guns?
Briggand Moore Minmatar Midnight Enterprises	Posted - 2007.01.04 00:29:00 - [27] If to make a rig we need Charred Micro Circuit, and Contaminated Nanite Compounds, why can't we just manufacture a functional circuit and charr it ourselves, why do we need to pull it from a destroyed ship?
Rehmes	Posted - 2007.01.04 00:39:00 - [28] 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)

Enders Vaal Gallente	Posted - 2007.01.04 01:34:00 - [30] 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 -------------------------------------------------------

Altrex Stoppel SniggWaffe	Posted - 2007.01.04 01:38:00 - [31] Originally by: Nikla Uthaan - Where does the infinite supply of jetcans come from? When Typhoons collide...duh Omg, Dark Shikari got pregnant with the forums! Great being a forum ***** isn't it?
Pressure Line Amarr Extreme Pressure Developments	Posted - 2007.01.04 01:54:00 - [32] im curious as to how the hell projectile weapon/ammo sizing works... ie: small projectile ammo can fit 125mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and 280mm guns, but not into 2x180mm or 220mm guns... and the same with medium projectile ammo. it can fit in 2x180mm, 220mm, 425mm, 650mm and 720mm guns, but not 200mm 250mm or 280mm. im willing to overlook the fact that we have a projectile round which automagically knows what size to be, and can even be unloaded from a 250mm gun and be pushed into a gun half its size (125mm). im also willing to overlook the fact that artillery and 'machine gun' type guns use substantially different ammo. what confuses the bejesus out of me is that my automagic size/type shell which can change size from 125mm to 280mm cant fit into a 220mm cannon (as well as my other shells which can change from 180mm to 720mm and thats a damn big caliber change cant fit into 200mm 250mm or 280mm cannons) if anyone has any ideas on how in gods name this works... drop me a line, id love to know. and thus you have the biggest mystery of eve... ps: id also like to know how my 180mm-720mm shell can split into two for use in dual 180mm AC but still only use one round of ammo

Yeah like space is really dusty The Helios probe launced in the 70's did 67Km/s..and you know what, it didnt have any "shields" Oh that reminds me..on topic 1. Shields dont exist baby...EM energy is not very good at stopping mass. there is some kind of C to the power of 2 equation involved. And its quite a big number...in joules or something. 2. Missiles etc do NOT pass through solid asteroid 3. How can Warp speed be dependent on mass...as it is faster than light. Mass cannot even be a factor in warp, as only things that have no mass can exceed the spee...oh my head... 4. All the women in eve sound just like men on Ventrillo edit..ooops c to the power c would be a bit bigger than I meant

Taedrin Gallente Mercatoris Technologies	Posted - 2007.01.04 04:35:00 - [41] Originally by: Lyria Skydancer -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) Actually, this doesn't refer to different types of energies, but rather different methods of dealing damage. For example, consider today's two methods of piercing armor. The first method is to use a sabot round to attempt to pierce the armor (kinetic round). The second method is to use a chemical reaction to burn a hole through the armor (thermal method). EM damage probably has something more to do with using light to disrupt shield generation and cause the shield generators to overload and thus damage armor/structure. Explosive would probably involve using a small amount of kinetic energy to embed an explosive inside the armor to try to force it apart. -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) This is probably because they have to compute physics server side to prevent hacking, and it would be next to impossible to have TQ computer realistic physics like that for 30,000 people at once 20 times a second -What do gyrostabilizers have to do with boosted rate of fire and damage? Shouldnt this give better accurace only? They probably also help the reloading mechanism to reload faster, or stops the turret from moving around so much after firing, thus allowing it to reload the next round faster -Why do heatsinks give more damage on lasers ontop of the rate of fire boost? Allows heat build up to dissapate quicker in the laser turret. This means that the laser turret can fire a stronger beam without overheating, and it can cooldown faster in preperation for the next shot -Why do lasers have range or falloff? Lasers is EM wave, if ship can lock target lasers should reach it. It is almost surely impossible to build a "perfect" laser. Contrary to popular belief, lasers do not shoot a perfectly straight ray of congruent light. There is a small amount of error, and over time/distance the laser will disperse

Basicly a bushing that makes smaller ammo fit in a bigger gun. Why this doesnt this work between small and medium ammo types? They don't make sabot those sizes.

All ammo of a given size are the same size, what is different is the size of the sabot (casing) around it that holds it snugly into the weapon. What is different is the amount of propellant behind the sabot, hence the different ranges and damage done. Dual barrel weapons work first by dividing the round in half, then encasing in the sabot. Edit: Darn it, plastic beat me to it.
defiler Caldari Mad Hermit	Posted - 2007.01.04 09:29:00 - [49] I've always thought of gun sizes as calibre; barrel length divided by bore diameter, meaning that a 425mm railgun has the same diameter as a dual 250 but with a 70% longer "barrel". Thus a 250 and a dual 250 can have different diameter as long as the length also differs. *Mad Hermit - Minding our own business since 2004.*
Noriath	Posted - 2007.01.04 09:34:00 - [50] The #1 most illogical thing in Eve: "Recognizing the necessity for a blaster platform to round out their high-end arsenal, the Federation Navy brought in top-level talent to work on the Hyperion." Right on Gallente Federation, you totally needed another blasterboat, it's just not like the Megathhron was doing a good job at it! Too bad Caldari are the only ones that acctually got the ship they needed to round off their arsenal.

Za Po Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.04 10:06:00 - [51] Originally by: Pressure Line id also like to know why all sizes of frequency crystals for lasers take up the same volume but arent interchangable... Packaging is the vast majority of space occupied by the crystal while it's in your cargo hold. The crystal itself must be kept in hard vacuum at all times and never touch any object, because it can't have even a single speck of dust on it. The box contains a pressurized chamber with magnetic containment and its own power generator, and is several orders of magnitude larger than the crystal it contains. The containment system itself is placed wholesale into the weapon's crystal chamber, which is also the reason for which you can sometimes recover working crystals from wrecks. Larger crystals do occupy slightly larger boxes, but not by any significant margin. Similar considerations apply to many other pieces of EVE equipment; this hi-tech stuff is very delicate! Originally by: Flinx Evenstar 1. Shields dont exist baby...EM energy is not very good at stopping mass. there is some kind of C to the power of 2 equation involved. And its quite a big number...in joules or something. It's not that bad. The shields don't have to stop mass, only to deflect it enough to either miss completely, or make it hit the armor at an angle and location where the projectile bounces or damage is irrelevant. We in the 21st century could probably build a magnetic "shield", against metal objects at least, if only we had a sufficiently powerful energy source. Quote: 3. How can Warp speed be dependent on mass...as it is faster than light. Mass cannot even be a factor in warp, as only things that have no mass can exceed the spee...oh my head... IRL, as far as we know, nothing can exceed the speed of light. Things with no mass can reach it, but that's it. So, Warp speed doesn't rely on "simply" ignoring the ship's mass somehow, and therefore there is no reason for which mass shouldn't be a factor. As for why ships don't have fuel - they probably do. We don't know what it is, but we don't really care either; the engines and power core are both so efficient that fuel is effectively endless, or so close to it that it's not worth implenting it in the game. Maybe it's neutronium, or antimatter, or whatever, the point is that the people of EVE have solved the energy problem. We don't have infinite readily available energy (ie, cap), but we do have virtually infinite energy over time. This is why you don't worry about the containment in the frequency crystal packages running out of juice.
Za Po Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.04 10:12:00 - [52] Originally by: Szprinkoth Sponsz How come a rocket-assisted artillery shell or a rail slug can reach speeds approacing that of light? They don't. Futuristic rails and blasters might get to relativistic speeds, but artillery certainly doesn't. What makes you think they do?

Missiles etc do NOT pass through solid asteroid 3. How can Warp speed be dependent on mass...as it is faster than light.

All the women in eve sound just like men on Ventrillo edit..ooops c to the power c would be a bit bigger than I meant 3. Id have an explanation for this actually. Warp "tunnels" are like shortcuts in space. This is kinda the theory behind all these fast travel tricks in space because everyone knows you cant go faster then light or even get to lightspeed. So there is a shortcut in a 4th space dimention that you enter when warping. Here you still fly like you do in space but every km will count a thousend fold or more.

It's in one of the back stories - you suck in particles from space of some kind. Quote: - How come lasers do ELECTROMAGNETIC damage?

How come orbiting a battleship ina firgate with turrets the battleship would practically not be moving to the turrets of the frigate yet they always miss a lot of the time? How come you can fit a computer able to cope with the calculations of a decent Cloak only on a small frigate and a cruiser, but nothing bigger where you'd have more space for such things?

Za Po Caldari	Posted - 2007.01.05 18:32:00 - [60] Originally by: Rule2k lol eve is so unrealistic And still leaps and bounds more realistic than any other MMORPG you can name (which tend to feature fairly radical things such as unexplained resurrections, or being unexplainably unable to attack other players). It shows that the industry still has a long way to go, doesn't it? Originally by: Draec Sjet How come turrets can miss but they always graphically hit? Tracking systems are so advanced that, at the short distances engagements take place, the projectile usually doesn't literally miss. Rather, the shields and armor of the target ship deflect it harmlessly, unless it hits at the correct angle. In the case of shields, this can mean that the projectile never actually touches the ship, even if it looks like it! Also, notice that even depleted shields might still have enough energy to change the direction of an incoming projectile a little bit, enough that it hits the armor at the wrong angle and fails to cause serious damage. Quote: How come missiles always hit but they always graphically miss? Missiles are so slow, compared to projectiles, that even depleted shields can deflect them. Luckily for us Caldari, they don't need to actually hit the ship in order to do damage - the shrapnel, shock or energy wave they release is enough. Quote: How come Minmatar are only able to fire projectiles (which would need an air atmosphere to work anyway) but they can use shield technology?! Projectiles don't necessarily need an atmosphere. And what's wrong with them anyway? Not futuristic enough? Projectiles are damn effective at hurting things for cheap, and I don't expect them to go away any time soon.

Uhm... look out behind you! A three-headed monkey! Quote: How come you can fit a computer able to cope with the calculations of a decent Cloak only on a small frigate and a cruiser, but nothing bigger where you'd have more space for such things? I reckon that the specialized equipment required to use cloaks involves multiple nodes spread across the ship's surface and linked in some very strange fashion, because by the time it'd take data to get from surface to the central core, it would be too late to do something about it. Light is that damn fast. So you need to have the entire ship hull redesigned for that purpose. For the same reason, cloaking a big ship might be very hard, because you can't figure out how to warp the EM waves quickly enough. Quote: How come the markup on t2 ships is so high and thus is never even slightly covered by insurance (meaning a good 1/6 of all ships are uninsurable?
