Increase the model size for supercarriers and carriers.

Carriers are barely larger than battleships yet they are somehow able to fit 2 fully assembled battleship hulls in their ship maint. array plus other ships, junk, topes, and a hundred fighers and other drones... it doesn't make sense and should be fixed. The problem is even worse for supercarriers. I remember seeing a supercarrier for the first time it was such a letdown... They are so small....

Carriers and supercarrier models should be roughly doubled in size.

Agree. It's sad to see that cap ships are nearly as large as BS's, yet they're supposed to be very powerful. I might as well buy and fit a BS of my own since it takes less training time and more cost-afforable.

When Bon Scott died and he appeared before St. Peter at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter looked at his record and told him he couldn't get in. Just then, God screams at Peter, "Let him in, Karen Carpenter is driving me nuts. I want to hear some music with balls. We'll haggle over the paperwork later." At least I hope that's what happened.

Yeah also the scaling in cargobays between ships is ridiculous! Also have you seen the size of BS size guns? tiny peeshooters!

Pumping Bumping for great justice. My carriers don't like being all small and... cold.

I certainly would not mind my nearly completed carrier looking bigger and beefier. +1

If they increase carrier size, the same logic should apply to stations. You have places like jita that have the mass equivelant of their entire model several times over in ships. Unless the nations in EVE utilize Time Lord technology, I see nothing explaining how this laughably broken physical mechanic can be normal and functional. (Time Lord Tech=bigger on the inside for non-whovians)

See planck container physics related to secure containers which have more space than they take up.

EvE-Mail me if you need anything.

For me the issue is the supercarrier's size more than anything. But yeah carriers are a bit small as well all things considered. Only ships that are properly scaled with their power/class are the titans. And perhaps dreads, seeing as you can't park ships inside them.

Spacial compression tech is pretty well meshed into the Eve Lore. There would also be some rather... massive scaling issue with bumping everything above Battleship up a size. For one stations would just look silly compared to Battleships and they'd need to re-do every capital and station sized art-asset in the game. Why the crap would you want them wasting time on that?

So... you want to make them even easier to target?

Wouldn't that also make them easier to bump, interdict, etc...?

thats if they change the game values as well. without chnaging anything else it just looks bigger. no actual ingame effects.

Complete re-do of the scales in eve.

+1

+7,billion, i don't care.


I want big guns on my Rifter hulls again, and I want the old 'dots on t2 railguns.

I would also like large guns to be the size of frigates, as they should be, and I would like my archon to be larger than a machariel.

I'm fine with the size. Maybe we'll be able to use jump gates for them in the future...

there could be a "super station" pos made for 4-4, the station is already pretty embedded into eve lore, might as well make it stand out as well.

as for ships, could re-adjust the scale, figure out a baseline size and scale the hulls up from there.
