Not that the mechanics could easily be worked out by CCP ...it would be a vast undertaking to model orbital mechanics correctly and this would also pose serious problems with game play strategy, tactics...basically everything would change. I'm not sure it would improve the game much so I suspend disbelief. In space, you maintain speed by cutting the engines but I imagine that it's a drive that takes care of angular forces and presents a sort of "flying" experience in space to foment better tactical measures. If you are interested in a true space simulator check this out it's free and you can even simulate the apollo moon shots.

Originally by: soldieroffortune 258 if it were, 1: asteroid belts wouldnt be as small as they are, asteroid belts is not a half ring of asteroids in the middle of nowhere, they stretch all around the solar system
2: no one would get out of orbit, ever 3: no sounds
that is all i can think of atm, i will be back to prove you wrong when i think of some more
lol jk, but you should be glad its not a space simulator, the reasons i posted are valid reasons, and there are many mroe reasons that we cant think of
I totally agree.

Originally by: Letouk Mernel Edited by: Letouk Mernel on 20/06/2008 01:06:30 This topic has been discussed a few times before, long ago, btw.
In any case, I like Independence War 2 : Edge of Chaos's system; Newtonian at the push of a button, otherwise you can let the "autopilot" control things and make the ship feel more like an airplane, in that if you release the throttle button the ship slows down and then stop.
Of course, the IWar2:EOC engine displays thrusters realistically: your engines turn on as you accellerate, then turn off as you coast at a constant speed, and if you break or change your attitude, reverse and stabilizer thrusters are displayed realistically.
Nice game. Old, but nice.
I loved tht game! EVE reminded me of it when I joined.

Originally by: Tortun Nahme great thing about iwar2 was the lack of a max velocity, just max acceleration
Yeah I used to try to set trajectories into the sun and play with using planets to slingshot and such. Cool stuff.
