Capitals ship models need to be made MUCH larger, at the moment they are truly crap. Carriers need to be made MUCH larger never mind supers.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

While I would love to see capitals resized to make sense (seriously, how can I fit two battleships in that Chimera!?) I have to agree with all of those that have posted about the bad collision boxes, if you have ever seen how much of a PITA it is to not have someone push a Titan out of a POS you will understand why capital pilots don't want to have bigger ships to try and fit inside those shields.

I'd like to see some of the larger things in eve, actually large. Stations should be massive. Any ship that has a SMA should look like it could actually hold other ships. Plank containers my butt.

For me, it breaks the immersion - feels like SCs should be as big as Titans are now, and titans 3 times as big. Yes I'm a SC pilot, no I don't want to bump any more on jump-in - but they could fix that some other way. A broken mechanic shouldn't be a reason to do nothing. If fitting large ships inside a POS is hard, make the POS bubbles bigger. If that means weapons tweaks to hit the tower - great more weapons and variety.

Given the ram on graphics cards these days, are larger textures really a problem? Wouldn't mind betting the textures in the art-depts asset library are already 20x bigger than the finals used in game - I doubt it would even be a stretch to generate bigger ones... We're going v3 anyway right?

Of course its a lot of effort still, but I'd support it.

They don't have to increase the collision boxes along with the models tho.

I would love it when capitals were to get much bigger, not to mention Supercaps. Seeing how CCP stated in the Summer 2012 CSM meeting minutes (page 64) that they wanted to get rid of the Force field bubble in a POS rework, Titans and Super carriers should be huge, much bigger than they are now.

They would have to find a solution to Cyno Jump in Bumping though.

The whole concept of supercarriers is a permanent Fail on the part of CCP.

They should have been entirely deleted a long time ago.

I have to confess I wish the scale of the ships were more believable. A bit of tweaking here and there making some smaller and others larger should be a good compromise.

I can't help but wonder what an Eve would look like if all the model sizes were correct. I can't help but think the game would feel like the intro to X3:TC when you're like "fuuuuuuuck, Jupiter is huuuuuuge".

Played around with the ship chart I had and enlarged the carrier and supercarrier. From the looks, the dreadnought will not need increasing then. Only did it to the Amarr, good enough to show the change in proportion.

At least not it's feasible to fold open the hangar and attach the Abbadon to the Archon without it looking like a remora sucking on a mackerel.

I would love to have my SC be large enough that a fight could happen around me. +1 for increasing their size.
