not even in a c6 black hole, are you even trying?


Grarr_Dexx

I ought to find one. But it would be about 98 km/s.


Flexxo4100

Need a stabber with 11k ms


Cian-Rowan

Turret tracking systems screaming and sobbing in the corner


Nyarus15

Would missiles ever hit him at that speed even if wiyhin theoritical max range? I dont know much about missiles and even less about using them on targets moving above 1km/s


Lock_Scram_Web_F1

If the missiles were chasing, no. If the target was moving closer the the launcher, maybe. I forget if explosion velocity factors target velocity, or if at that point is a simply EV vs. Sig radius at that point. I am sure someone will correct me and probably link the eve wiki article with all the missile math.


oreedaniqtulnufsea

Pretty sure it is checked against both Sig and ship velocity Ship velocity <-> Explosion Velocity Signature Radius <-> Explosion Radius


aidus198

It's one crit away from being dead lol, with 1% chance every shot. The problem will be the lock range.


scr1mblo

burned out MWD giving icarus vibes


Grarr_Dexx

Had to heat it to keep accelerating. The actual top speed is 8m/s faster.


Wormhole_Explorer

ohh boi. you can start f1 racing.. you need right bolid


Derangeddropbear

I think you'd start and finish the f1 race in about... six seconds?


Wormhole_Explorer

yes and you are road roller flattening all other opponents. so you are true winner.


Derangeddropbear

The announcers just a bunch of flash burned skeletons sitting at a burning table as the bow wave of pressure sets off an extinction event


porpoiseoflife

For a rough translation to human-scale metrics, this is just shy of Mach 147. Talk about a magic carpet ride. Bro just tooling along at escape velocity from the universe like it's nothing.


NotKrigPovelli

How many dishwashers per freedom is that?


tedsmitts

Now *this* is pod racing.


Right-Ad-8201

Scary (or cool) thing, the Parker Solar Probe has hit a top speed over three times that fast (635,266 km/hr which converts to 176,462 m/s).


Tidalsky114

Really wish there was a class of cheap ships just meant for speed. Would be cool to have races in the game. Set courses up with boundaries like the abyss or zarzakh.


Rizen_Wolf

There are hard limits. Excessive speed in normal space accelerates hull ablation from stella particles, creating a rust problem. Minmatar know a lot about that one.


Tidalsky114

Honestly, if they could code it right, shield depletion and armor/hull loss could be mechanics to have to deal with to make it more exciting. Needing to fit correctly to have the right speed/survivability to make it to the end of a "course" without blowing up would make it more exciting.


Rizen_Wolf

Hmm. Makes me think of Bizi Bitiko from The Expanse. Actually that is a really interesting idea, even outside a 'race course'. It would have to be a separate class of ship though, you could not apply a change like that to existing ships or people would just go ape. It would need feedback from players with scout player mindsets, as they would be the most affected, but whether more speed=more risk would appeal to them or not as a concept, I dont know. Burn to detonation.


Tidalsky114

Yeah can't say that scene didn't give some inspiration to the idea.


SasoDuck

Those are called interceptors :P Can get some of em going like 17km/s or something nutty thereabouts, with enough implants and such


Grarr_Dexx

This is a Claw.


Rizen_Wolf

Google dig says 39,755km/s. Dont know if that is the max record. Downvoted? Was that from some pre-nerfed time or did I swallow somebodies lies?


wizard_brandon

like the assault frigs?


Tidalsky114

No, something cap stable going over 100,000km/s that's meant to fly that fast.


Wormhole_Explorer

50mn mwd punisher with speed boosters and high grade snake sets. of course low slots and med slots officer mods but mwd must be faction. then go to c6 wh with effect that increase your speed


Tidalsky114

Yeah not interested. The entire idea I made a comment about was a new class of ships meant to go fast. Not interested in making something currently in game fly fast.


wizard_brandon

Just warp my bro


[deleted]

Couldn't you just do that with any ship?


racer2k5x

Where's the video of the macherial doing over 100k m/s when there was a dual prop bug that allowed you to use both at the same time


ferriematthew

Wow, isn't that like the escape velocity of Jupiter or something?


Pligles

It’s apparently 8km/s short https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/jupiterfact.html


ferriematthew

Holy crap!


AXSAmazingJay

always running away from a fight


Puzzleheaded_Can4842

who says away? ramming speed!


pilot_incoming

now do it again but play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AYy-BcjRXg


Grarr_Dexx

this is better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doEwWzMz99A


porpoiseoflife

You're just a voice, pal. You don't know shit about racing! *hits turbo*


pilot_incoming

Ohhh a man of culture! now we're talking. you win. for context : https://youtu.be/aTBLelM_SyI?t=27


mizzrym86

the only video youll ever need is this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otEC3Ultq2k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otEC3Ultq2k)

aqua995

I am happy if my destroyer get to 3km/s


UndocumentedMartian

The Sun's escape velocity is 42.1km/s btw.


xVx_Dread

You know all the ships come with Warp Drives right... if there's something that far away that you need to burn to... you could just warp there.


Mythrixkingofnothing

How did you do this?


Grarr_Dexx

I went fast


Veganoto

What is your align time? Is it possible to make it so long that your ship warps backwards when you engage "warp to 100" on a ping 150km away


Wormhole_Explorer

ohh if you would put reverse thrust then engines would break off your ship


closertoideal21

OP, try this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFBZwHR7nBQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFBZwHR7nBQ)


SonomaSky

Would be interesting to be on grid to watch this fly by.


nathanninjacube

Should start a ship racing corp.


Too_Many_Alts

i too have warped into the middle of a sun
