The Saturn V at max speed goes 25,000 mph. That is about 11176m/s. Excluding the use of a warp drive, not one of our can go faster than that. Why? |

Well there is the issue of gravity. We have gravity wells all over the place such as planets, stars, and moons. Maybe that just creates some strange interference with our ship engines. Hey, that gives me a pretty interesting idea about ship velocities and what if they would vary based on the number of AU you are from a gravity well? The further they are, the faster everybody goes |

And does the m in m\s stand for metre? It may be just an arbitrary m :)
I also thought that things did orbit in EVE, but we haven't really been around long enough to notice...
It stands for meters/second. |

Unless you are referring only to atmospheric speed, in which case the comparison is pointless as our ships cannot under any circumstances enter an oxygen atmosphere.
2) our ships propulsion system has limits to the speed because the faster they go, the more [insert technobabble term here] drag force they experience. You do realize that drag forces really do not exist in a vacuum? Actually it does brah, and the closer you get to the speed of light the amount of drag increases almost exponentially.
It's not drag it's the amount of energy it takes to make it go faster just increases. Totally different and not realivent for the size of an interceptor. |

They're aerodynamic in a vacuum? |
