1_ Metric is a much better system: The metric system is based on powers of 10 so it is much easier to convert units, often just by moving the decimal point. Once you remember the meaning of the prefixes, you can easily convert mass, volume and distance measurements. No further conversion factors need to be memorized except the specific power of 10. But for the English System you have to remember 5280 ft = 1 mile, 4 quarts = 1 gallon, 3 feet = 1 yard, 16 oz. = 1 lb, etc.
2_ Like the overwhelming majority of the world, the country the devs are from use metric. |

By the way NASA said (or something from space industry) that meters are better measurement in space than feets |

It is unfortunate that America does not use metric system. :( |

Damned foreigners, and their stupid metric system with the dumb decimal places and the megas and gigas and what not.
Why don't these people just learn how to divide. That's how a real man does math. |

Using meters is standard for physics. It makes coding the physics engine easier. |

I wonder if someone will ask why the game uses Arabic numerals (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) |

The Metric System is scientific too. Doing engineering calculations where there are pounds-force and pounds-mass is just odd. |

The inside of the MCC is"27m" long, does that look like 88 ft to anyone? |

No. It actually sounds like 88 ft, 6 18/25 in. |

lol don't like the metric system?? you can always leave 
only 3 countries don't use the metric system the US, liberia and burma. therefore your argument about the world using "feets" as measurements are wrong |

It"ll never happen. The imperial system is to important to liniar mathematics/equations. |

Yah, but who really cares about any of those other countries anyway? As far as I am concerned there's only two countries in the world the US and every where else. So, by my logic, half of the countries of the world use the imperial system. So :P |

I work in engineering, and it's a lot easier to make small adjustments with the metric system, that it is with the imperial...
I guess is similar when programming a game. |

You're an idiot.
What the hell is up with all these Europeans thinking I'm some stupid American trying to claim our system is superior. Of course the metric system is better, only a moron would prefer the imperial system.
Now that we have that out of the way, look at the KITTEN game! What the game tells you is 30m is clearly not 30m, it's far closer to 30 feet. So since you're all oh so proud of the metric system, how about you ask CCP why they've decided to r*pe it? |

Even if you're not then everyone else almost certainly is. That or they have hard-ons for the metric system.

Right, because clearly I wasn't just messing around in my opening post...
And yeah, I do expect a game that takes it'self seriously to use accurate distances. |
