Hi my fellow podders and podd..ed?
I am currently working on a quite extensive report regarding physics in EVE Online.
So far I believe I've been able to sum up the biggest ballbusters, so to speak; the max velocity, faster than light speeds and all that. However, there are a few things that I need some help with, and could use some input!
1. ON the topic of max velocity, why did CCP put it in at all? Other than the fact that it would ruin game balance. There has to be some other reason as well?
2. Moving planets and moons in solar systems. Why does not planets, moons, stations, asteroid belts and rotate around their respective pivot point? What I mean is; for example planets rotate around their own axis, but not around the sun. Why is this?
Would appriciate any and all (serious? :P) answers!
Thank you all!
PS. Random comments are also cool...

Thanks guys!
Regarding the Orbit and stuff, I had pretty much tought of that too.. Orbit would complicate things alot.
As for max velocity, what kind of speeds are we talking about here? And yes! I'd forgotten about the thing with damage and hit calculations and that the targets speed was used in the calculation!

Hmm, 60km/s? that's insane... Imagine if there were no speed limit.. Everyone would accelerate till we were almost at light speed, trying to fight.. It would be impossible :P

I feel I need to clearify :P
I am writing about where EVE breaks todays Laws of physics :P
Have about 10 pages so far! :)

 Originally by: Bimjo
another physics item that is not like in RL for you to note :
Inertia.
a small ship can bump a titan,where as if in real life a BS hit a titan the titan should only be nudged ever so slightly and not spun out of a pos's forcefield
lol! way to hint at what happened xD

I have included the sound in EVE in my report :P
personally I don't see the point of planets actually orbiting the sun etc.. but hey, some people might!
