When I first saw this ship I thought it looked ridiculous for how fast it can move for it's size. It really throws off your perception.

It's a nice looking ship. I think it will now look more realistic this way.

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.

I remember the chimera being smaller than ANY battleship.

Team Trilambda's V3'ing project give's us an opportunity to revisit more than just updating the textures of a model to work with newer trinity technologies and as part of this we've been rescaling ships so that they are all more relative to their counterparts from other races.

In the case of the Machariel it was obviously much larger than other battleships. It is now similar in size to a Hyperion and ships from other races of the same class and tier.

how about upscaling carriers and supers in time ? Besides any update on when we might expect a V3 version of capitals ?

hm. so your saying that the reason for the rifter to be twice as big as a punisher after v3'ing?
or the reaper 1/3 bigger than the impairor?

Dear CCP devs i beg you to take this back and give the Machariel its former size 1920 Meters, let her be still the biggest BS in Eve with his reputation beeing feared by most of the Eve pilots.

Current size doesn't fits to it really, all which think the Same way like me, please raise your hands and vote for giving the MAch back her old size!!

PLEASE PLEASE take this Change back!!!

sincerly

Whatever. It was as big as my Nidhoggur, which is the smallest carrier. That's ridiculous.

It's the size it should have been.

The machariel is bigger than other ships by volume as well. 595k vs >500k for other battleships, you can only fit one in a carrier while you can fit 2 battleships in a carrier.

You should reduced the unpackaged volume as well to reflect this.

Has anyone noticed the huge variety in size for titans?

Yes, I love how the Leviathon and the Ragnarok, the 2 weaker titans, are about 17 kilometers, while the Avatar and the Erebus, the 2 stronger titans, are significantly shorter at 13 kilometers

By the looks of it they are plusing up Frigate sizes into the 60-120m range with ceptors being around 60-80m and bigger ons closer to 100m. Punisher hasn't been done yet nor the Incursus last I checked. Kestrel, Merlin, Breacher, Atron, Slasher, Executioner and a bunch of others were up-sized.

Maybe scaling the guns per ship would be better than trying to scale the hull.

You said the T word. I thought everyone was supposed to be working away from that line (get it) of thinking.
