To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

In the end you see both ships on the same size from the balcony, but just because the frig is way closer to you, than the BS.

not mine.

The ships don't need to fly that close to earth but wouldn't it be nice to be able to enter the stratosphere with the smaller ships and have fights in the air / attack groundsites.

I have a different thought about ship sizes and that's that they're simply too large.

A frigate being 747 sized..

The materials for a building a ship of this size would indeed be perfectly fine. When we go into something like a Battleship, I think that It wouldn't be possible. The material level would be unimaginable to build one.

It wouldn't be possible to create such scale in CQ, It simply wouldn't work.

When you think the size of a BS and materials required, think onto the sheer size and material level of a station. It would take centuries to build and numerous planets worth of material to build.

Not really. Manufacturing in Space is way easier once you have the technology to do so. Just build modules across the world / system you are, haul them to orbit and connect them in space.

And about resources take into account than a single starting player can mine in few hours several tons of tritanium with a single badger and 2 mining lasers.

A mining company with hulks, orca support and good skills, can mine an asteroid field in hours.

The scale is OK.

Just think our own Space shuttle is half the size of a 747 (more than that if you account the full shuttle and not just the orbiter)

And a Nuclear carrier weights more than 90.000 tons of steel and aluminium. If a single country in a single planet can do that... I think you get the point

Now there are two schools of thought here, those who measure from the engine trail and those who measure from the edge of the engines. Use whichever measurement makes you feel more manly.

When you are in your ship you are on the pad. This was reported a long time ago. In fact in the Amarr station you are standing on what is open space when you compare the perspectives from in ship and WIS. It was never fixed, maybe some day. EVERYBODY KNOWS
