Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Where do the missiles come out of a Raven? On almost every other missile boat you can identify something that could pass for a missile launcher, but there's nothing of that sort on a Raven; which is the archetypal missile battleship. Same goes for the Nighthawk
What exactly is the substance that ships in EVE travel through? Based on the ingame physics it sure as hell isn't vacuum.
Canonically, it is vacuum, or nearly so. The "drag" effect is a side-effect of warp drives; a warp drive never fully shuts off, it just drops to idle, and when it's not pushing a ship across a system, it has the effect of slowing its own motion to a stop (and thus that of the ship it's mounted on).
OK, this is a fairly important question. If you have 30 days of game time, is that access to the game for a period of 30 days, or 30 days of playing, which could cover several months?
Your account is active for 30 days. Period. Unless you auto renew or you paid for a longer period of time.
Why in the hell is it that whenever I'm warping anywhere a planet or something could get in the way and I just warp right through it? Shouldn't I, you know, crash? Or at least move around it?
You're in a hyperspace warp tunnel, thus your immunity to collisions and weapon fire until you come out of warp.
Would be the case, except I piloted my interceptor to within 0m of a planet and didn't die.
I laughed when I did the same thing with a sun.
In the old days if you approach a planet at sub-light speed you'd eventually end up inside of it. (Now you just get bounced.) Clearly the astral bodies are some kind of holograms, and part of some vast conspiracy designed to hide the utter lack of physical substance in the universe.
Those fancy new turrets previewed at Fanfest 2011? There's a few suspiciously similar bits of concept art, include pop-up and pop-out designs, on p. 75 of The Art of Eve. Which was published in 2007. I'm just sayin'.
It's just concept art. Concept art often doesn't make it into the game, ever.
Do people actually cut power to there opponents computers? Wouldn't that be considered invasion of personal property as well?
First, it's "their". Sorry about that. Anyways, yes, it's happened, and yes, that's illegal. And yes, the Russians will do it anyways.
