in rl if you accel in space you keep slowly getting faster until u git speed of lite why is it capped in eve?

Think of the space around you as water, and the physics in eve start to make a lot more sense.

backstory says that the subspace engines drag on the interdimensional time rifts or something like that.

Because this game would be stupid if you could do that. When you make a video game you have to balance realism WITH playability.

Like the stars that used to twinkle? Or momentum allowing a Frigate to bump a Titan? Or nebulae (which would not be seen anyway) in every star system?
The answer is little care was put into real science but the back stories cover that up so it doesn't really matter. Sound in space and warping through planets are easy to explain. A lot of bad science is promoted through films, books and games though.

If anyone cares about realism, download and play Orbiter. It's free.

In rl you will never hit speed of light but theoretically, you can reach any star in the Universe within seconds according to your clock.

ive played that its HARD. You have to actually throw your RCS on and off and deal with gravity and fuel limits....

Yes relativistic effects(described by einstein) cause time dilation. Hypothetical scenario: You travel at a speed that is so close to the speed of light the difference between your speed and C is negligible. You travel...20 light years to a star, you would reach the the star in possibly a few minutes by the clock on your ship, but to an outside observer you will have taken 20 years.
Also of note is your mass increases at an exponential rate the closer you get to C, with anything travelling at C having an infinite mass, which is impossible as that would dictate having infinite energy, as mass and energy are interchangeable.

methinks you missed the point there is something that all those mentioned games have in common, that the first elite didn't have hint: it has something to do with what the OP is talking about

Which is actually just a limit of Einstein's equation, which is inaccurate in some way (as photons travel at the speed of light, but have a limited amount of energy, and to say they are massless is not entirely accurate. There are a few contradictions in the laws, so we don't entirely understand relativistic speeds and the speed of light.)

And, since it can slow down to a crawl (stopping briefly in some labs), we all have traveled faster than light!

EVE was never designed to be a space simulator and its roots have nothing to do with Frontier or even Elite.
EVE is almost entirely based off of an old text based game from the 80's called Tradewars 2002. It is much more of an empire building and economic simulator than anything else and it just happens to take place in space.

You see this in everyday life through refraction, when light slow's down(and changes direction) when going into another medium. C is only applicable in a vacuum.

Light does not really slow down, it just gets absorbed by the material and spat out again, which takes up a moment and thus in relation to unhindered traveling slows the light down. --------

Photons travel at [only!] speed of light and their energy (mass) is just a wavelength and nothing more.

Because even in space, there's resistance, but you only see it when your in the Km/s area
Hence why "Deflector Dish's" are used in Star Trek to get to light speed.
Its a common missconseption, space isn't free of stuff, theres always a partical or two per meter square

The maximum speed any space craft can reach is limited by the exhaust velocity of its engines. Once you hit that velocity going faster is impossible.
