Carriers simply need to be larger. Nothing more, nothing less.

Let me be the first to remind you, size doesn't matter. Smile

Since i hardly think they will listen to community for once, i took a crapload of pictures.
From time when Machariel was most impressive looking BS, no one forgets first time they see one on undock.
Usually in a small frigate, but then the sense of scale kicks in.

Now i pulled next to an Apoc ingame, and its just....not with that intimidating look.

So CCP, please restore Mach to 1.9km.

I do support making Carriers larger.

300 extra meters would be a good start.

As I've never really been fond of the Machariel I can't say my opinion counts a whole lot on this topic.. but you gotta admit it was pretty huge the way it was. It's not a cap ship. lol

I've flown next to a machariel in my providence and it nearly dwarfed me... perhaps a less dramatic reduction would be in order... but it probably did need some reduction.

Well Machariel was designed that way. So it's a huge ship, i don't see any reason for changing it now.
It was this way since it came out.

It is a special ship after all.

I always liked the Mach's gigantism. Please set it back :3

It made it such a good bumping ship...

Fun fact:
85% of all players complaining about this are highsec carebears who are mad because their space penis has shrunk, the other 15% are people who fear they will fail their bumps because the ship is slightly smaller.

Both should just HTFU the change is sensible.

(and I doubt we need a dev response for this)

No but seriously, for me its ridiculous to switch the size of ships every 3 Months...first i was like, omg My maelstrom is 600m long...then i was like, wow its 1500m long, and now you wnat the Maelstrom with 1484m to be longer than a machariel?
That is not how i should be...

Wow - they have really been doing all those changes? What a waste of time and effort. It also shows that they really don't have any long term vision or plan. Just seemingly random changes for arbitrary reasons.

Tons of things have been originally designed one way and then changed further down the road. This is an mmo and using the argument of "that's how it was designed originally don't change it" is a fail at best....

2km mach was unimmersive. The fastest most agile bs with a small sig being like 2x the size of the average bs was stupid looking, period. Furthermore all this crap about it being jove so it should be HUGE does not even make sense...

Makes sense that the Mach should be smaller. Especially since its one of the fastest Battleships going. Not only that, but the large turret models will look more bad-ass on a smaller hull.

Those people saying that because its jove it should be big, are actually brining up a pretty good argument for it being smaller. If a Jove frigate is roughly inequivalent to most other races battleships, the why isn't the Mach the size of a frig?

The machariel is the fastest and most agile battleship.

Making it smaller makes all the sense in the world.

The Mach has been huge for how long now? Only now it's a problem and it needs to be downsized? Come on.

If they're going to do this to the Mach, are they going to make the other half of the Aeon too? Perhaps make the Wyvern fly forwards? (You know it looks like it flies backwards!)

People have already talked about Carriers/Supercarriers and their sizes too.

At least be consistent.

In a few moments you will have an experience that will seem completely real. It will be the result of your subconscious fears transformed to your conscious awareness.

If you yall are going to make it smaller then make it so it counts as being smaller when stuffed in a carrier so that two can fit in a carrier hanger like other BSes of that size kthnx.
