I've always thought that the station models in Eve are ridiculously small.

There's no friggin' way all the ships docked in Jita 4-4 could EVER fit in there. Hell, as soon as 2-3 battleships are docked it's already too much...and even more so when you look at the docking port from space compared to the view inside when docked. Also bigger station models would serve the scifi theme better and add Awesome(tm) to Eve.

So, please? Pretty please? :-)

Never once has this ever been requested before.





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I imagine the limit is technical in nature, needing the entirety of the station to fit "on grid".

...and one should always give up before trying :-p It seems Art is being pretty stalwart in slowly redesigning old art assets here and there...latest on that tree is the corpse model in Rubicon. So maybe they can bump this one up on their list.

They don't actually have to make them super realistic size...and especially not Jita 4-4 realistic. 3-4 times bigger than now would be quite fine. Or maybe Titan sized just to make a point.
