Can something be done with respect to the size of the Barghest? In addition to clipping basically every ship on the undock, it's also prone to getting hung-up on objects like navigational beacons and invisible protrusions with stations. Oh, and if we're dead-set on the colour - can we at least get an option to paint in black in the not-too-distant future?

Ships are spheres with vectors.

It's a rather large sphere was my point.

You should just stop flying it.

While I admit this falls into the category of "first world EVE problems", width in this instance is a legitimate issue. Updating model vectors to be more realistic to to the actual dimensions of what's in the space we're flying around would be an overall good thing.

Big model?
So this will be new smartbombing ship for the ratters?

Are you suggesting doing away with "ships are just spheres with no regard to model"? Because while that would be nice, it would make predicting collision and position for the server absolute hell, since instead of just measuring distance from one point, it would have to start measuring distance for hundreds.

Also, seriously... why would anyone buy a barghest when they are this high? I dont fly anything pirate until its cheap enough to justify using in lowsec pvp. (Pirate frigates are priced nicely, hell, most pirate ships outside the nightmare because of its 'leet incursion ISK' making reputation are nicely priced, just SOE and Mordus ships that are outrageous for their capabilities).

Maybe I will use it to bump PODS!

This is typical of the majority of responses in these forums, so I shouldn't be surprised… Realistically, the Barghest should be reduced by between 35-45% to around 1250-1300m. That puts it in-line with the other battleships in terms of scale.

But I really like how big it is!

But also, yeah, I'd rather the color look more like it did at the fanfest reveal.

One big text game originally meant for mathmatical savants.
