	The '''acceleration''' of objects in EVE is not based on classical physics. The physics engine is based on a fluid dynamics model, which assumes that space has some substance to it and thus some friction. This means that when a ship's engine is inactive, the ship will decelerate, ultimately to a standstill. As a result, all acceleration is proportional to agility, relative to maximum velocity, and exponential.		The '''acceleration''' of objects in EVE is not based on classical physics.
