Even Falcon Punched a Dev out of the door over the 1/4 drop. So now CCP don’t even care. If you want to be a major entity in eve you gotta now bot. Botting is a pillar of this game, the rewards are high but so is the risk. This game is now utter poop the forum pvp is the best bit, now & even that got botted last month. how much ships that fuel? ---

> [@Natalie\_Patrovita](#): > > They’re powered by **electricity**. Look at the fitting window on the right tab, you’ll find words like _gigajoules_ “Gj” and _power grid_. The thruster engines are fed some form of plasmic electricity… but who cares as long as it works? lol Physics nitpick… Actually, a joule (or a gigajoule) is a measure of energy, not electricity. If, by muscle power, I lift a 1kg weight 1m high under earth’s gravity, I’ll have used 9.8 joules of energy (someone else can transform this to calories, mg of sucrose, or whatever biological measure they like, if they want…) No electricity (aside from my neurons firing) was involved. Similarly, power is just rate of energy over time, this _may_ be electrical power, but not necessarily. ---

> [@Trevor\_Dalech](#): > > Actually, a joule (or a gigajoule) is a measure of energy, not electricity. That’s why I put _and_ between those two, clearly not the same although can be made to interact for thrust. I don’t know. I don’t really care. As long as the framerate is decent. ---
