EVE General Discussion

The stations in EVE are actually pretty huge compared to most sci-fi. In fact the very large Caldari ones are not so far off Death Star dimensions.

stealth "lets dock our supers now" troll thread 1/10

We have huge ships, stations should be larger than what they are right now.

The amusing thing is some supercarriers look like they could fit.

On the other hand, vertical ships like the Naflgar definitely look like they can't dock in their standard position. Which they can undock in, somehow.

Ok sounds fair but, its game. If you want reality we can all stop playing eve then. However agree the visual effect is wrong. I think to scale it will give some problems perhaps.... We will see if ccp will fixs the scaling of those stations.

I always thought the same. Stations seem rather small compared to the ships and hangars. especially the Amarr and Gallente hangars. Those seem gigantic on the inside, but on the outside they sometimes wouldn't even fit, given the station geometry.
But then again it's a design issue. Imagine if everything was scaled realistically. Stations would be so huge, part of them would be off grid. And imagine ship maintenance arrays... POS's would need to be HUGE! The bubble Diameter would be something up in the 5,000 kilometer range... sooo yeah.
Station size is fine to be honest. I mean I wouldn't mind realistic scales, but at the moment it's not something that's bothering me.
Oh and one more thing. If i recall correctly, they showed something at fanfest that was some concept of animated hangars (the docking part) where you could visually see your ship fly in and dock (think, "Flying in stations") and if that's being worked on, the logical thing would be to scale up the stations accordingly.
One can only hope. But seeing as EVE keeps getting additions and improvements, I'd say this all might happen Soon(TM).

good idea maybe they'll include oh lets say things like WORKING DOORS! or actual places to walk to instead of up and down a ramp looking at a 3 panel flatscreen, a mirror, a bed which you cant lay on, or perhaps add a toilet or a kitchen or how about a pilot's lounge where folks can actually sit on the same couch and cross their legs. instead we have detention centers or single cell prisons. /fix captain quarters.. how about a nice garage allowing the player to select up to 2 or 3 of their own ships to accompany the main one left spinning. idea's! fresh idea's..

while they're at it give me a dust pistol and a holster cause im going to freak out the day that door panel turns green and someone or anything walks thru it.

they used to be even smaller

You think they are small now? You should have seen them before Trinity....

Ya you are right.

We might aswell just stop all V3ing of ships and revert back to pre-trinity textures/models.
