I was wondering how big the EVE galaxy is, in light years north to south and east to west?

Using the ingame map and ICSC JumpPlaner, the distance from QYZM-W (Northern most system) to LX5K-W (Probably southern most system? Hard to tell) is about 130 Light years. LBGI-2 (Western most system?) to RT64-C (Eastern most system?) is aprox 105 Light years

It's big. I mean, really big. You may think going down to the local chemist is a long trip. But I'm talking BIG (not affiliated with the corp).
I used to get It.
Then It changed.
Now I don't even know what It is.

It is nowhere near big enough. It would be great if it was 150 000 light years across.

Relatively large in comparison to most things.
Edit: Or what Kirex said.

I wonder how long it would take to travel from one side of Eve to the other?

Grab a shuttle and go find out. There are landmarks around (you can see them on the map) which are really worth visiting.

EVE: not actually a galaxy. it's only about 150 light years from end-to-end. It's actually a dense star cluster or something.
I dunno. Every time we discuss physics in EVE, the devs kill an exotic dancer. Please, think of the exotic dancers.

The game is not the problem.
The problem is that you are not adapting to the game.

Stitchers correct. The Eve "galaxy" is just the cluster of stars currently linked to the gate network.

Well, Back In The Day (sometime during the week after NA release), some buddies and I warped a ship clean out to one of the far corners of the EVE universe. We then set autopilot to the other corner and let it run. It arrived about 4-5 hours later.
EVE's gotten bigger since then, so... let's just say a long, long time.

And if you read up on the Scientific Articles, there's a passable explanation to why this is.
It may not be the best science, but it's better than a whole lot of fiction out there.

We do need more space, alot more. There should be uninhabited parts of Eve at all times tbh. I assume its a hardware issue though?

 I dont think we need more space exactly, but more conquerable stations would be good, and low sec ones would be awesome

You do know this is space !
No such thing as north, east , south or west when your in space that only works when your on a planet !

Most of 0.0 is uninhabited due to it being practically worthless, it's technically owned but it's still uninhabited.

Well, if you took all the yeast from all the bellybuttons of all the Gallenteys, and cooked it up into the biggest fluffiest loaf ever, EVE would just about be big enough to be its breadbox.

the thing with space is that most of it's empty. so not much fun for eve
which is why eve's rather close together astrophysically speaking. (oooh, good word)

I agree, we need more space, but we don't need more systems.
Actually I think each system should be bigger, alot bigger, so that claiming even a single one of them would be something significant. I mean, even all the asteroids of EVE would look like dust compared to the main asteroid belt in the Solar system.
Then player would fight for planets instead of systems, and even the biggest alliances would be able to control only a few constellations.
But even if CCP manages to to allow multiple nodes to a single system, EVE is way too old to face such a radical change.

The only stars you can go to, are the ones connected by gates. So, any number you are getting here is not the actually size of the galaxy, just the parts we can get to.

I wonder what would happen if Earth decided it wanted the Eve cluster and invaded.....
Nice story arc for missions - getting into RP fleets to counter small squads of powerful Earth based warships.... be interesting to see how that worked out, I would guess that they would be only a bit more advanced than the Jove as their "dark age" lasted 3 centuries.
I used to think that Eve was in one of the smaller galaxies in the local galactic cluster (Andromeda + Milky Way plus a few other small ones).
