If supercarriers are so "Super" and are unable to dock, why are most dreadnaughts bigger than they are?

Cmon CCP, make em just a bit bigger :(

It's because the wheelbarrow they have to use to lug around their massive balls won't fit through the door

Supercarrier models could stand to be bigger. There's not really any tangible benefit to doing so besides making them prettier, and it might be detrimental as far keeping several in a POS.

Large ships should require large POS towers Bear

I agree.

Rules in a game like "Can Dock and Can't Dock" that are said to be based on size should reflect this when you look at them. Otherwise where's the imersion?

I would also be asking the same thing sitting off station in my supercarrier watching dreds bigger than me dock.

Larger ships require more work to adjust texture sizes; I'd rather the art team spend their time on other assets first.

They're honestly fine now and I'm not terribly excited about the prospect of bumping even more than we do already at jump-in

So, make the dreadnaught smaller and the super carrier bigger.

All Capital models except dreads are too small imo. 2 battleships being ejected out of a regular carrier that is nearly the same size as the battleships themselves is rather silly. Even titans don't really look like they could comfortably fit 10 bs inside it's hull tbh.

stations have to be a lot bigger for the "immersion" factor.

Titan sizes should be reduced by 50%, and maybe dreads decreased by 20%

Stations can hold bazillions of M3 (Jita etc) but can't hold a single super cap of the size of a dreadnaught. Immersion failed Lol

Then they need to fit Expanded Cargohold IIs to make it fit.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Yes lets the make giant space penises that already have fragile collision boxes with the potential to bounce 100's of km even bigger and more likely to bounce so scrubs who will never fly or even see one in person can Ooh and ahh over it.
