Strill	Posted - 2008.11.06 10:03:00 - [1] Edited by: Strill on 06/11/2008 10:04:46 Where do I go to report mistakes in the EVE Chronicles? Like, in this one it mentions a caldari ship picking up a target on Radar, even though Caldari use Gravametric sensors, not Radar.
FarosWarrior Amarr Sonnema	Posted - 2008.11.06 11:29:00 - [2] with 'radar' they dont mean Gravimetric, they mean sensors hint: sensors are called radars in real life is this my sig? or does my sig start here?
Mal'ol Soddo	Posted - 2008.11.06 11:43:00 - [3] Originally by: FarosWarrior hint: sensors are called radars in real life Its an interesting perspective, it is of course horribly wrong, but its interesting none the less. Its radar because it uses electromagnetic waves to locate things. Its certainly a type of sensor, but you wouldn't say a submarine uses radar "cos its all sensors", you'd say they use sonar (Unless infact there is a submarine that uses radar when at the surface to shoot down planes).

Posted - 2008.11.06 12:10:00 - [4] Edited by: Rodj Blake on 06/11/2008 12:10:48 It's a known fact that all* of CCP's prime fiction pieces contain at least one error or inconsistency. It's a tradition or an ancient charter or something. * Mr Asterisk offers no guarantees Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

So you're saying that the thing the chronicle refers to as "radar" is actually "sensors", and "sensors", when referenced to in real life are called "radars". I do believe that "radar" and "radars" are one in the same, in which case my original post still holds.
Vak'ran	Posted - 2008.11.06 14:14:00 - [6] Originally by: FarosWarrior with 'radar' they dont mean Gravimetric, they mean sensors hint: sensors are called radars in real life Very wrong. A radar is a sensor. A gravimetric array, hypothetical as it may be in rl, is another kind. Also used in eve for instance is ladar, similar to radar but using light wavelengths in stead of the microwave area of the EM spectrum. Another example is the sonar mentioned by a previous poster. OP is right, it is an error. ----- Vak'Ran is your local official non-dedicated part-time advocate of reading comprehension and proliferation of intelligence on the EVE Online Forums.
Viktor Speranza White Wolf Enterprises Harmonious Ascent	Posted - 2008.11.06 21:46:00 - [7] Its not an error. EVERYBODY used radar at first. At a later date as ships became more and more specific to each race, they discovered that other systems worked better for their technology. The Caldari just happened to move over to Gravametric instead. <--schooled in make **** up by Star Trek. Come to Penirgman VII û Ministry of Internal Order Assembly Plant to apply for WWES!

Sure, because the casual reader of the Chronicals is expected to lookup WTF a gravimetric array is and does, so that he understand the rest of the story. Or the writer could have just used the most common term recognized by its readers for a remote sensing technology ensuring that the casual reader understands the story, giving the nitpicking fanatic something to gripe about on the forums, and making the writers life easier. That "error" was carefully chosen so that it could make as many people happy as possible. As a footnote, when did the Caldari adopt the gravimetric array as the standard sensor for their fleet? Any possiblity that at the time of that story (more than seventy years ago) they might have been using a different type of technology?

Strill	Posted - 2008.11.07 11:07:00 - [15] Edited by: Strill on 07/11/2008 11:11:23 Then there's this chronicle. It mentions rogue drones using energy neuts on a miner in order to keep him from warping off even though he began warp way before they started leeching him. First off, you can warp no matter how much cap you have. Second, the cap needed to initiate warp is consumed when you begin to align, not when you begin to warp away. Third, since when do rogue drones use energy neutralizers? I've never seen a single rogue drone use energy neuts. There's also a typo. Quote: This can cause severe problems for the populace and space farers, often requiring heavy military involvement to get rid off. "off" should be "of". Also: Quote: A favored tactic among those hunting rogue drones is re-programming their AI circuits, effectively taking control of them. However, this tactic is hard to pull off, not to say very dangerous. I want this in game.
Bartholomeus Crane Gallente The Crane Family	Posted - 2008.11.07 13:33:00 - [16] With a clairvoyant, telepathic, schizophrenic, raised-from-the-dead, pre-gate-collapse weapon wielding Empress on the Amarr throne, I think the question of whether the Caldari use radar or gravimetric sensors in a chronicle is rather immaterial. (And don't get me started on the 'Broker') -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
ShardowRhino Caldari Legion 0f The Damned	Posted - 2008.11.07 16:05:00 - [17] I seriously doubt the slip on the word "radar" was intentional. I think it was just what came to mind while writing and didn't get screened out. Of course its not an issue except for the most anal of people. not aimed at the OP but some of the fools replying afterwards. people get worked up over the smallest thing, its not even close to being funny. "oh the writer used the word radar instead of grava****inmetric sensors, lets flame the dude that said the writer might have used it as a generic term meaning "sensors". "
Korizan	Posted - 2008.11.07 16:40:00 - [18] Truthfully you really don't want to go down the path, sometimes it is best not to look too closely. RADAR - Radio Detection and ranging LADAR - Light Detection and Ranging Magnetometric - the measurement of magnetic forces Gravitmetric - the measurement of variations in a gravitational field Sonar - sound navigation and ranging
