All stations and capital ships sizes need rescaling please Big smile

Carriers need to be bigger; jumping from my Nado into a Nidd just looks wrong in terms of scale.

There just doesn't seem to be enough wow factor anymore. Make it BIG. Pirate

(even titans are pretty underwhelming in 2014)

And then you have new concrete to work with when CCP reinvents CTs Cool

Considering the nado has a half-kilometer height, I think you may be misunderstanding the ship sizes.

Carriers are around 1.5 times the size of standard star destroyers in Star Wars. A condor is 7 times the size of an X-wing. Even small drones are almost the size of an X-wing.

Everything in eve is pretty big. Titans are comparable to the Executor, the largest (that I am aware of) vessel in Star Wars.

(Sorry for the star wars usage, but stuff in Eve seems inherently smaller than it actually is since all you see is yourself piloting it, and battlecruisers/battleships are not difficult to fly in comparison to capital ships, but are actually pretty comparable in size. )

If you are referring to increasing the size of the nid by like 1km, yeah, that could make sense. But it still will be pretty small compared to BCs/BSs, just like all carriers.

Barghest is actually 3/4 the size of the nid. Pretty crazy how big that BS is.

The common rifter, produced in swarms and generally thought tiny and cute, is the size of the lovely 74-flipping 7. It is purely an issue of internal scaling, but no good method of re-scaling exists that does not nerf capitals. On second thought, rescale them, rescale them all night long.

I agree station are WAY TO ******* SMALL. I somewhat agree that some Titans looks kinda small(the avatar needs to be stretched length wise)

Regarding 0.0 stations

Amarr factory. (Very nice but needs to be 3-4X larger)
Caldari (interesting look but needs to be double the size)
Gallente station (never been a fan of its appearance, but also needs to be double the size)
Minmitar station (what was the developer thinking? It's like a run down stip club box from the depths of the Internet)

I do agree on bigger stations though. Would be nice for Jita undock to be a lot less crowded.

Look at the death star, that thing is 160km in diameter or something. That's like 10 titans.

With the amount of crap Jita 4-4 is holding, the damn thing should take up the whole solar system. Or at least be the size of a large moon.

Precisely. That's what I'm talking about. Since you brought StarWars into it;

Super StarDestroyer = Titan
StarDestroyer = Carrier/Dread
somewhere in the middle = Super Carriers
Millenium Falcon?? = BC? Cruiser?



Super StarDestroyer plunging into Death Star - size of a splinter - more like it.
Millenium Falcon sitting on back of radar mast of StarDestroyer in Empire - tiny tiny - more like it.



You get the idea LolUgh

capital ships (and bs) don't feel any bigger than smaller ships when you're flying them. i wonder if using some sort of camera effect could make them feel bigger? i think a big part of them feeling the same is the camera changing its minimum distance by ship class

also, maybe capitals having higher resolution textures will make them look bigger? i wonder if that's technically possible

All scaling and proportions could use a re-investigation. That includes stars.

Edit: Found an image I made that changed the sizes of the Amarr carrier and supercarrier.

a normal carrier has a ship maintenance bay of 1.000.000 m³. Is there a special technology used which allows 2 battleships to be stored inside?
Because every battleship's volume exceeds this.

The current large size of capital ships as is, creates a lot of issues. Scaling up the size of large ships and stations would exacerbate bumping, alignment, cyno, fleet warping, and pos problems, without providing any benefit to the game other than "Nice. Things look bigger. But they're not big enough, accurate scale please"

10x the dimensions of a titan. so 1,000x the volume. and materials.

what. I didn't say it should be easy.
