Is it just me or do the new weapons [well newest iteration] seem to be too small on the ships of late? or whas it always so? - I noticed the Rifter has this issue and that both it and the Thrasher hull seemed huge compaired to other ship of the same class.

The battleships hulls seem to suffer from this alot, the Apoc you can't really even see the turrets... etc..

Does anyone else thing there might need to be a look-see into this little bit of sizing?

They have re-sized some ships, one being the rifter to make it larger. I hear one point was to avoid the very large turrets from clipping into the hull. Some battleships have actually shrunk, such as the Mach.

I don't have much of a problem with tiny turrets, to be honest. I have problems when the turrets are far too large, which was the case with the really old Punisher. And to a lesser extent the Dramiel.

Prob just me then... I have an engineering mindset... and so detail is something I latch on to in everything, makes for a great design and building brain, but the down side is I notice little things all the time.

I know exactly what you mean. A few years back a player made engineering schematics of some EVE ships. If I had the time, I'd be doing that Cool

on a side note i think the weapon turrets seem very... inconsistant, i mean the size and shape of the guns make no sense alot of the time, like some of the artillery and auto cannons dont relaly represent there appropriate calliber most of the time or in the case of a few artillery cannons, dont even looks like artillery or your woundering how the hell the thing is ment to work.
