The amusing thing is some supercarriers look like they could fit.

On the other hand, vertical ships like the Naflgar definitely look like they can't dock in their standard position. Which they can undock in, somehow.



Eve patch notes:

All Caldari Supercapitals are now able to dock in stations.

Maybe increase the Trade hub stations. The others dont really need increasing.

It's not the size of the station... it's how you use it. Blink

But the stations in this game are too small in comparison to the ships that are coming out of them.


Why?


"Small" is a relative term. Those big caldari stations (like Jita 4-4) are hundreds of cubic kilometres in volume.



Oddly enough the main tradehub stations (Jita Amarr, Rens, Dodixie, Hek, etc), main station should probably be about 3x the size they are at the moment.

Yaay!!!!

It seems like CCP could easily squash these threads by simply changing all station models to blue Police Boxes.

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

I don't care how much room there is on the other side of the Blue Police Box doors, you still cannot fit a Dominix through them.

There is a fish eye effect on eve. Can be adjusted by shift ctrl both mouse buttons and side to side mouse movement.

The "bag of holding" feature (those of you who know what that is go clip your nose hairs) of stations is gamebreaking.

Time to start limiting the docking bays and storage rates.

The stations are actually massive. Try zooming out, you'll see that the station is a significant fraction of the size of the moon it's orbiting. Now imagine something the size of that station orbiting our moon.

Yeah.

Compared to the ships coming out though, it doesn't look right.

IMO there should be ONE neutral system somewhere with an extremely large station in it, like a space "Coruscant" of EVE if you will.

A station so large that even supercaps can dock there.

My interests include but are not limited to throwing rocks at bee hives.

There are more stars in the universe than all of the grains of sand on earth.
