No, spandex was banned. Since they recruited mostly from the videogame-playing, sci-fi fan population, most of us aren’t in the best possible shape. They gave us some nice berets, though. ---

> [@KHAN\_OSAKA](#): > > Why I can’t warp anywhere by entering a coordinate to anywhere at space in a starsystem Imagine a coordinate system elaborate and precise enough to let you warp/fly to a specific location somewhere in a galaxy (what New Eden is). You’d do a lot of typing. As usual the compromise between having a vast universe with +7500 systems and navigation requires simplification i.e., the current system. > [@KHAN\_OSAKA](#): > > Why I should just use the star gates or wormholes. There are jumpdrive capable ships (starting from tech2 battleships) that can navigate to cyno beacons, without making use of gates but with other restrictions. Quite the adventure in fact, but also quite demanding on SP. > [@KHAN\_OSAKA](#): > > Why I can’t land some of the planets. It’s simply not that kind of a game. You can do planetary production, but not land. > [@KHAN\_OSAKA](#): > > How I can pass through the planets while warping and nothing happens ( non-sense reality ) As others have pointed out, there is lore and video about this. Some devs would undoubtedly love to see us slam into planets and stars, but that would create quite a few problems in star systems where connecting gates have planets between them, as an example. That is also why normal newtonian mechanics are not followed (you would spend more time decelerating than actually flying) but a fluid mechanics model is used instead. Again a compromise to make the game enjoyable, at the cost of physical accuracy. > [@KHAN\_OSAKA](#): > > Why I can’t stop my own ship warping but the others can if they have the tool You can stop your ship from going into full warp, if you hit ctrl-space before reaching 75% speed. Others can prevent you from initiating warp, but not the actual warp. As to your overall question, why is EvE not the game you always imagined ? Because someone else created the game according to their imagination and the technical capabilities at the time. Have you given yourself the time to actually discover what the game has to offer ? It’s a lot broader than mere game mechanics… ---

You have gotten some very good answers in the above, also a few trolls or more defensive reactions. Welcome to Eve You may want to look into the CSM and what it does. Alternatively you may want to try to run for office next year if you are still around. But the first thought I had when reading your thread title? Getting married is going to be an interesting experience for you (or it was, maybe you have already been married) Big things are seldom what you imagine they will be. m ---
