Unless it creates inordinate amounts of lag, I'd prefer all ships above frigates to be bigger, with BCs and BSs just a bit larger and super-caps a decent bit larger...

Because they have had time? I knew they were slacking! Crack the whips!

Are Frigates getting bigger. The Incursus / Punisher looks ridiculous compared to the Rifter. Was the Merlin upized because it looks more on par with the new Rifter.

Also the Rupture is smaller then a Thrasher. Looks puny compared to my Vexor. I hope you are looking at some of the small stuff.

Yes it's very normal in game dev companies that artists works on most needed stuff, if they have some time they works on not so urgent regular stuff. Keep In mind that dust is comming.

Hey, CCP Vertex, tell your art department that for ship size a basic rule of thumb is 1 ton (1,000 kg) of ship mass is 1 cubic meter of ship volume, which is basically the density of water.

The easy thing to do is just to add an extra zero to the end of all ship mass figures and call it "fixed".
