It would not be safe to place such large stations in low orbit. ---

> [@Hatch\_Nasty](#): > > why the heck my ship has a speed limit, You studied propulsion mechanics at the capsuleer academy, surely? As you may recall, the gravity well of the warp coil assembly causes quantum drag which limits the relative velocity of the vessel. This is undergraduate stuff… ---

I think I was absent that day. I did a lot partying in school. ---

_An Introduction to the Kearny-Fuchida Drive_ will clarify everything. ---

Please don’t get my hopes up that we could ever drive mechs in EVE… ---

You can still find some of those at the antique market in Jita. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/f/5/5f5db78aae01f7dc9a3d0f784070bb71d20b1e86.png) ---

When all it takes is to rub 3 round rocks together that were just lying there anyway to make a warp drive, you’re asking a lot to apply actual physics to the game… ---

> [@MB\_ThePhotographer](#): > > you’re asking a lot to apply actual physics to the game… I have noticed a lot of people can’t separate the science from fiction in science-fiction. I am fairly certain they don’t allow us to get close enough to the planet for good reason. You might be able to see the thin thread suspending the painted ping pong balls from the ceiling. ---

Brian Cox says NO!

Wormhole building apparatus, and we have yet to prove wormholes exist naturally. 2. A star to fuel said machine. ---
