If CCP made a workshop to make all the ships high res/better llooking and pilots could vote on what they liked(similar to steam workshop), all ccp would have to do is port them in-game right?

Nah youve lost me


What games?

You fly Mach, but you want to design ships you like the look of?

So you fly it for stats only?

Yawn

I actually apologise

I should have thought it out. There was no way to convince you NOT to follow the herd and drive a Mach, therefore Im empty posting

If you feel I was trolling you, Im sorry

I just hate the stupid looking bling-buckets

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


You have to be kidding, the Machariel is visually as big as a carrier.

Others in this thread have agreed with me so its not like I'm being stupid, and ita not just the mach(which does not look the size of a carrier), its al the ships with different sized stories(Floors).

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)

This is what I was trying to say, I just am bad with my words, I apologize.

It's a result of a lack of visual clues that you're looking at a large object.

There's no:

- Depth effect and parallax, there's no objects in front of it (of a known size) to create visual comparison. This is why the moon looks huge when it's low in the sky, your brain knows its a long way away by parallax, and that it needs to be huge to appear at this distance, ergo it makes it feel larger to you. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_illusion

- No atmosphere. This is actually a 'problem' in real life as well, objects in space that are large and distant don't have the same level of atmospheric dispersal covering them, so they don't look far away to our way of perceiving things. This video lets you see what would happen if EvE ships were in the sky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPeb547pis0 The illusion of size, despite using identical graphical assets, is very stark.

- The camera fit to a central point makes the first issue above more prevalent (sometimes a ship will pass you and look suitably large because it accidentally achieves the properties needed to appear massive).


There's no way to fix any of these issues, really.

Well when you have floors, which is easily compared to the ship they are attached to, similar to putting a quarter(USA) on an object to see the size comparison.

I'm new to forums, I'm not trying to anger everyone, why did the people who said ZOOM IN even post anything, I already said I do that, and its not even an answer, I don't understand, I was just trying to talk to people who cared about the cosmetics of eve.

Really?

You think pointing out a paintshop manipulated image and something you are too zoomed out to have res in isnt?

You Think demanding higher resolutions for no real reason are not?

GFY you spoiled little child

After finally clicking the image, the first thought that came to my mind was:

Well, d'uh ... if you make a screenshot and zoom it, of course it looks blurry.


I apologize. *lol*

On the avatar you have to zoom out more than normal to be able to see it as anything but a blurry mess, there have been many complaints from titan pilots.

You have to be kidding, the Machariel is visually as big as a carrier.

Others in this thread have agreed with me so its not like I'm being stupid, and ita not just the mach(which does not look the size of a carrier), its al the ships with different sized stories(Floors).


For the record, saying because people agree with you that something isn't stupid is absolutely false.
