[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;30362321]You honestly think [RAWR], [B][I][U]one of the more powerful alliances out there[/U][/I][/B], is going to get beat down by bunch of trash alliances that fight each other already? [/QUOTE]
MM [I]used[/I] to be one of the strongest alliances around, but not anymore. It's delusional to think otherwise. Unless you guys really shape up and cut the weaker members of the alliance, MM is just going to die slowly in Delve.
Nothing is more important than the important internet spaceship league.

You'd think missiles and lasers would be the weapons of choice in space battles, but nope. Shooting bullets (read: conventional chunks of matter) several kilometers is most effective :downs:
I want to get back into EVE but I bored myself to death (almost literally sometimes) by hanging around in tedious wormholes. I didn't mind PvP but obviously, a reliable fund source has to supply this so I need an idea to go if I resub again.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;30376399]They aren't bullets, they're artillery shells the size of vans.
Also lasers don't work in space, look it up.[/QUOTE]
You perfectly well know what I meant.
Now what do you mean about the lasers? As in the actual apparatus? Because I don't see why electromagnetic radiation would not work in a vacuum. And besides I doubt the mechanism would not be shielded from the harsh environment of space.
It's how the earth is heated by the sun. It's called transfer of thermal energy via radiation.
And besides, the actual apparatus would work in space, too. The heat generated by the device can be vented into space.

Not only that, but the distance from the earth to the moon was calculated with a laser beam.
The only thing that bothers me is that lasers actually have range. The range of a beam of anything is determined by how often it interacts with whatever it's passing through.
Higher frequency = more interaction with atoms in materiel it's passing through
That's why you can't get a sun tan through a pane of glass, the UV rays are absorbed by the window pane instead of your skin.
Having said that, the only thing that should keep a laser turret packing Gamma crystals from hitting a target is the tracking speed of the turret and any kind of debris field in the path from the turret to the target.

Could one assume that particulate matter in space could cause this type of distortion and therefore, induce a range limit?

I'm not any sort of expert on the matter but just speculating, doesn't the interaction decrease around gamma frequency because of the wavelength being smaller than an atom, with lead being the only substance able to effectively block it?
[QUOTE=Bulaba0;30377358]Could one assume that particulate matter in space could cause this type of distortion and therefore, induce a range limit?[/QUOTE]
That would depend entirely on how dense the particulate matter floating around in the vacuum is. But, I shall accept this assumption as it will help me sleep at night.

I don't know about that. It makes sense, though.
If ANYTHING was realistic in eve, it wouldn't be any fun. It'd be more of a sim then, as CCP put it.

Being a sim doesn't mean it can't be fun too.
Lasers dont work in space because they produce to much heat which cant be given off to space via a heat exchanger, it can only radiate which takes ages.
With normal guns the heat gets transferred to mass which is ejected into space.
There have been alot of tought about getting rid of heat in space and its one of the things keeping us from going to other galaxy's.
I would expect that there are internal cooling systems on laser turrets when you take into consideration the level of technology which is present in the EVE universe.
Which is also probably why the damage mod is a heatsink, not just a power amp
Gosh, I forgot how much I loved this game, I'd love to get back into it for the new update..
But I noticed that I often get bored very quickly, as I don't know many people that play, and as such, I'd love to get into a more active group, with a little more excitement..

It's not as easy as simply getting the skills out of nowhere. What am I do to in meantime?

Which transfers the heat to where?
This way the ship would be heating up while its firing.
Then eject spent coolant into space?
Smugdoo and a Goonswarm Commentator.
Amazing combination.

Unless the turret subsystem is in a completely self enclosed environment in vacuum sealed chambers around the ship.
In which case, there is no transfer of heat. Heat can't be transferred through a vacuum unless by means of radiation.
So, when the coolant takes the heat away from the turret by means of conduction, the system then works similarly to a refrigerator.
The transfer of heat between two differing temperatures is faster if the temperature difference between the two objects is greater. For all we know, they could have something like Bose-Einstein Condensate flowing through coolant pipes, and have the technology to collapse it back into the condensate after it becomes too hot, all relatively quickly.
I have lost interest in playing eve :smith: but i really like the game, how could this happen
[QUOTE=Atlascore;30392589]What did you do in EVE? Missions? PVP? If you only did one thing all the time try doing something else you might get interested again.
If you say mining I'm going to kill you.[/QUOTE]
i lived in a wormhole and killed people who came inside and ran sites and did 0.0 exploration, ive done most things
i launched eve and didnt feel like playing it and havent played for a day or two and still dont feel like :(
Everyone burns in and out of EVE every so often really
