So, you would rather the force vector send your meal into a wall, rather than pushing it firmly down on the table in front of you. Personally, I don't want to have spend more money on janitors to clean the last batch of janitors that get flung into a bulkhead every time I align out from Jita. |

Gwailar wrote:Well, if New Eden spaceship technology doesn't include internal gravity and also inertia dampers, I would say the few paltry Gs pulled during an alignment turn are the least of your worries, seeing as you immediately accelerate to warp velocity. Hope your janitors have enough spatulas to scrape everybody off the rear bulkheads. Warp doesn't play with inertia. Its entire point is to circumvent F=mv^2, as you aren't accelerating the mass past c, but rather stretching/compressing space outside the bubble. You would experience no sensation of acceleration when entering warp, so neither artificial gravity nor inertial dampeners are necessary to survive. (You do, however, need some way to disperse the shockwave of high-energy particles your ship will release upon arrival, otherwise you kill everything at your destination).

Gwailar wrote:The bottom line is that the current one-size-fits-all warp align animation roll looks really bad and out of place on the big vessels. It can't be terribly difficult to fix from a technical point of view. Finding a better looking alternative is probably the challenge. We've been waiting for the elimination of "up" in Eve-space since the game launched. Based on that, how long do you think it would take?
Gwailar wrote:Star Destroyers don't roll every time they turn. Star Destroyers turn at an absolutely glacial pace, similar to how an ocean liner turns. I've never seen a depiction where they turn on a dime like in Eve.
Gwailar wrote:The Enterprise doesn't roll every time it turns. The Enterprise has battles in the middle of nowhere, runs into "blockades" that stretch out along a line a few hundred kilometers long in 3-dimensional space. And despite being able to turn inertia on and off, its primary combat strategy is to stay in a single spot and press F1. I think it's safe to say that nothing about Star Trek should be taken as a model for how things work in space.
Gwailar wrote:Ditto for Battlestars. Battlestars have three pieces of stockfootage where they travel in a straight line, and Starbuck is a man. Anything else is heresy.

Well, they also "compress" the vacuum... but after reading the description, I admit: I have no idea how Eve's warp drives are actually supposed to work, but I'm fairly certain there's a witch involved.
