You know we can already fly our ships in first person to pull off weird and unexpected tactics.

I am very curious as to how an approximation of gravitational potential energy is relevant to ships colliding into each other. If you had used kinetic energy, that would have made sense but… I’m at a loss.

I’ll give you one thing though, you are an entertaining poster!

Again, ships are in a PEG’s sphere and only our shield can collide and repel each other like two of the same magnets would.

If I may be so bold, even if our primitive brains signal us that we “touch” each other, we cannot actually touch each other because the electromagnetic fields would not allow it.

Ship flight in EVE has been point and click for 15 years. There’s nothing weird or unexpected you can do…

Wait… Did I use the wrong equation? O.O

(Note to self, don’t mix up equations.)  
Yes use the equation for kinetic energy.
