I fly a machariel, one of the biggest looking bs's around, but when im alone or in a fleet of all battleships & up, I feel the size of a cruiser, and I constantly count the floors to my ships when I fly them to feel the massive ship I am in control of, but its really hard, so I often watch size comparison videos on youtube, or zoom in all the way xD.

Who feels the same, and how do you cope, and how could this be fixed? O_o

I feel like this post might be, in some way, metaphorical.

Seriously. How can we fix you feeling like your ship is small?

Look down between your legs. Now look back up at your screen. There, your ship will seem a lot bigger now.

Merry Christmas and glad I could help.

depends, if hes poor too, he might play on a REALLY tiny screen, though in that case, looking at his screen then between his legs may make him feel better about himself.

I think what you need here, is a visit to a Total Perspective Vortex

"When you are put into the Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little mark, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, "You are here.""

Get a Titan. Problem solved.

There are Internet sites that you could 'watch'. This might help you get a titan!

It's not the size that matters. It's how you use it.

That's just what rifter pilots say.

Don't worry though, everyone has a soft spot for frigate pvp.

Dammit sammy, see what you did?

Try this, rigth click and hold, drag the camera around a bit, and use both mouse buttons to zoom in, it creates a different perspective :P

goons did the math and figured out you can just use smaller ships more with better agility and achieve the same effect.

Do you find yourself flying your ship into random holes when doing PvE, or is docking over, and over more your thing?

I agree. Nerf Machariel agility and speed!

blame low res textures on big ships. If you fly smaller ship near bigger ship, your smaller ship is crisp, but larger ship is blurry. Just look at the windows of battleships or titans. One window on titan is large and blurry (and awfully low res). windows on large ships are even bigger than cruiser class ships.

textures on large sips are not in scale to smaller ships... thats the reason...

here is why (sorry for my poor skills in MS paint)
