well, all that that needs is simple newtonian orbiting of massive objects in space...
though apparently ccp considers it harder to code than priests find it not to touch kids...

This right here makes me glad that CCP haven't implemented newtonian physics Devour to survive, so it is, so it's always been Eve is a great game if you can get past all of the asshats.... |

Most stations are actually at moons, we can assume to be the orbitally stable sweet-spot L2 Lagrangian point.
L1 between a Planet-Moon is the most fuel efficient location for transportation between the two. L2 is the best point to support a deep space infrastructure, orbitally stable, fuel efficient with good approach routes. L3,L4,L5 would not be very practical for industrial stations, but would be suitable for planetary defence stations. |

The L2 point as well. However, in a universe where they can build spaceships the size of titans, and jump across light years, I figure lagrange points can be dispensed with if you use a suitably powerful antigravity device. Does EVE even have those? I mean, the capsuleer stuff is all space materials, so it's entirely possible it was all bootstrapped from something like nuclear pulse launches. |

It's so the planet-side citizens can be dazzled by the "wee'chow" gate effect dozens of times an hour. You can't see it in the daylight and they have to have something to distract them from their boring, terrestrial lives. "Absolutely no jabs or fast punches of any kind.

Terrible reasons. If anything, they'd be facing the star for power.

Power is easily obtained without huge, fragile solar arrays that give off huge sensor returns and are likely to be flown through by bored capsuleers. Way easier just to have a reactor of some kind, and vent excess heat into space. |

Everyone who claims coolant savings are ********.
Unless of course you are assuming an RP reason for orbital mechanics being turned off, e.g. god turned off the switch so we can now put things in permanently shadowed non-langrage points.

You vent the heat in the form of hot gases and heated coolant.
See, you have Coolant in big tanks, where you use refrigeration units to dump heat into it from everywhere. When the radiators on the outside of the station can't keep up, you vent hot coolant from the tanks into space. An amazing use for what is basically an energy drink. |

In order to really 'vent' heat in space would require a 'venting' medium a gas can work so can an ejectable heat sink (think mass effect 2).
As long as you are not trying to over retain heat in your designs it shouldn't matter as much. However this is where heat piping comes into passive stealthing.
Although science fiction experts would argue they fail the point of stealthing which in concession is true on thier point of view they miss the entire military point of passive electronic footprinting which isnt to entirley hide from the enemy its but to avoid haivng targeting solution made to easily as normally a electronic footprint of oh say a civillian craft is much higher than that of military types.
Either way space is cold you want some passive heating if the station is far out enough from the primary and you can easily harvest all the radiation in a science fiction world to be useful in various other places. I can understand dark siding a station if they where a station in an orbit like mercury.
Overall there is a nice topic of orbiting things on the FnI forum that would do away with the entire bookmark issue which would be to have all bookmarks be points of reference instead of xyz, move entire grids, and base the orbitals on a multiplier of a clock. That way book marks will also orbit and never run into the problem of all of a sudden finding itself in the middile of a planet unless.. it just happens to be the point of reference is far out enough to intersect one.
Also has anyone measured the planets to see if they're the right size? or am I feeling they're still albit too small. Also rings they need to be made real. instead of paper thin.

Heat is also lost as infrared radiation, it's just not nearly as effective as conducting the heat away. "Absolutely no jabs or fast punches of any kind. Jabbers can not be on our team." |
