EVE General Discussion

I can't be the only one to feel like this.

The guns, especially on bigger ships feel so powerless, it looks puny (Yes I know it's relative to the ship size it's actually big, this is also a problem with the game where you get no sense of size, everything feels like the same until something smaller comes up to you) and gives no sense of satisfaction when you fire it, you don't feel it's a huge gun, it feels like I'm blowing wet paper balls out of a straw, you don't feel the kick of the weapon nor have any impressive sound cue that you weapon just unloaded a salvo of destruction.

TL;DR:

• Weapons look too small relative to ships sizes
• Weapon sound needs a rehaul

What I think

Instead of having multiple turret graphically represent turret fitted on ship, why not just throw in less turrets and make them bigger?
and of course, maybe try a different sound

Now many of you might say well why care when you're just going to zoom out all the time and watch the tactical overlay

It's a coherent experience that is part of the immersion, it's like watching a movie without any bgm, I for one like to zoom in on my ship once in a while to see it fire and since CCP is overhauling ship designs in the past few expansions, why not take a bit more time to make them more impressive

sound pass...yes

animation pass....yes

Having 1hour rate of fire weapon and half a sec animation on it is wasted opportunity just sayin

Size......size is right

That's is what i mean, if i had a gun like in the vid (which i feel is rather appropriate for a battleship or dreadnought, heck even titans) I wouldn't complain, and I'm sure guns are the right size, but there's nothing to show that size, the proportions does not make the size feel it's there


Eve in general has problems when showing proportion (understandable considering quite often there's nothing in space to show it)

Eve Has Sound?

on a more serious note, most of the eve sounds are terrible enough that I turned them off, save for a few critical ones (ie hull alarm) and some ambiance, (music, some thruster sounds, cargo scanner) I wouldn't mind a full sound remake, but I don't see it happening when we have more important things like "ruin ship models 2015" and whatnot

Makes me wonder how crazy my Incursus would have looked if the Capital blasters i mistakenly bought while drunk actually DID fit

space has no sound bear

turret envy ???

Summary, "I looked in the mirror of my 3rd person view and felt my phallic object might not be big enough."

The turrets are perfectly fine. The ships are too big.

And don't ever try to make sense of the cargo hold dimensions.

And, as we all know - it isn't the size. It's the sense of humor.
