This is what autocannon fire used to look like.

And you've all seen how... tiny it looks now. Sad
The random cannon timing is ok, but CCP - do bring back the Minmatar bling. Smile
Also, large artilleries and autocannons look rather small on batlteship hulls. However, this is still open for debate.
Also also, arty fire should be made more pimp and less poof. Big smile

I'm not talking about GUNS, I'm talking about the firing animation of the guns.

Are you sure that the Rifter in that picture isn't firing magic?

I agree larger guns look way to small on large ships. Ever seen guns on a domi, wtf? They should be modeled after how big guns look on battleships.

Agreed, it makes me wonder what battleship sized guns will look like on battlecruisers?

Ever seen a RL 16" gun on a battleship compared to the ship size, they not really that large only the turreets they are housed in makes them look large( 2 tp 3 guns per turret, some british BS even had 4 guns in a turret)
Now our our EVe ships are even larger than our own historical battleships and our projectile turrets or hybrids aren't much larger than RL historical navy guns in comparrison
So guns look just fine anything bigger will make them look cartoonish , my opinion

Actually, it's about the autocannon firing animation.

Before CPP brought out the new turrets, the animation was awesome. Now it's just gay.

Erm....with the appropriately sized effects like the presentation from fanfest. That was meant to be happening this winter, I think?

except that our battleships are about 5-8 times longer. now, you might argue that our guns are more powerful, but their actual effect is not. so, if we can accept that our battleships are bigger (for whatever reason), why do we have to accept that our guns are so small?

check out pictures on Iowa-class. see that broadside? how about some sparkliness in this dark universe of ours? it would sure stand out against the background.

on that note, where are out backgrounds?

Personally, I don't think there is a problem with the size of the guns.

I do however have a problem with the number of guns. A space battleship should literally be bristling with banks of guns. Hundred. or even thousands of barrels firing at once. I don't mean more highslots either... just, each gun mod represents a bank of guns, not a single run.

If you aren't sure what I mean go check out the rules for Battlefleet Gothic.

wow that massive arty with individual shells looks awesome.

Now I hope that CCP also implements "misses" as truly misses! Even perpetuum online manages that!

Its not your fault CQ was cancelled and you have to compensate for the lake of, by wanting bigger guns on your ships.

Get CCP Guard tp design new guns

Really.. he is like your old aunt that has hand-shaking problems so that she puts too much cheese on the pizza.

ALL the effects from modules and guns need a beauty lift. It looks very ugly. More climatic explosions would be nice too. Damage to the ships should be more terrifying too! I want chunks to fly off if I go into structure. Also, a "weather" type effect in space would be cool. Imagine undocking into a meteor shower! ...sorry, I got excited imagining stuff up again.

The guns are large, it's just that the really huge ships make them look puny.

Scale in EVE is screwed.
