Well in the EvE world 2+2=2+(.87(2))= 3.74
This guy just won the thread, we can all go home now.

it being in space and all always had me thinking mass had no true vallue.. since everything happely floats around... guess i mustve missed some info in there :p

Yes. Basic physics.

That's why this whole nano "fix" peeves me off so much - instead of hitting "autopilot" button and going to make a cup of tea I'll have to jump from gate to gate now - pain... 
This game is not designed to be played afk...

Stuff has mass everywhere, it just just doesn't have weight.

Meh. As I keep saying, Eve mechanics make no sense until you stop assuming that you're using Newtonian propulsion, at which point suddenly it all clicks into place.

What exactly is the rocket pushing against? It isnt gravity,or air,so how does less mass = more speed? or agility? Could a small engine push ANYTHING,just it has its limits as to how much energy it can push out,not determined by the objects mass or weight?

In the real world, less mass does not equal more speed. However it does mean faster acceleration and turning, since you have less inertia to overcome.
In EVE, the universe runs on formulae that have at best a passing resemblance to the real world.

- the absolute missile speeds (the missiles should add their maximum speed to the speed of the ship that launches it in the flight direction)<..>
Actually what considers missiles, is quite right. Since missile's velocity is ship-independed after it has been launched. Ships' velocity only affects the starting value for the speed vector. Everything after that depends solely on missile. Frim then on, both missile and ship uses the same coordinate system, so their velocities should be relateive to the same absolute point, not to each other's. (check out real missiles tbh)

mass is a dimension of inertia, not weight. weight is measured in newtons, it is a force resulted by earth's (or any other biiiiig object) gravitational pull accelerating us towards the object :D
