I see a frigate and zoom in and see oh there's the guns, on a battleship they look like peashooters. Does anyone else think so? If so wonder why that is when you consider they really are massive? |

For the record, Frigate guns are bigger than an average size man. They look tiny because your seeing them in perspective to a fairly large vessel. 2+2 does indeed equal 4 |

We need to deplete the atmosphere so missiles and planes can't fly around so easily, and ballistic projectiles fly farther. Where are the Spaceballs when you need them? we just need lazors and railguns. if the (rl) plans about laser point and middle-range defense go as they want nothing will survive above the horizon without a thick armor (and no vulnerable sensors) enough to whithstand a laser strike, so forget about airplanes and missiles. a railgun payload tho is fast and "dumb" enough that a laser can do little to stop it, so we would be again all about the ship with the armor thick enough to whitstand these guns and big enough to bring more guns thath the other guy on range. |

i think so too, personally i dont think its any reason listed here but instead just laziness, its easier to make sure ship guns dont clip on varied hulls when they are super small |

Because they have to fire in a pretty huge arc.
Gimbal mountings take up a pretty damned big amount of space. Hence the whole "tracking" mechanic, after all. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Well, I would suppose Railguns and Blasters do not need to be giant to be effective, they use kinetic force to do damage.
Like, as such, A rail gun could fire a 9mm round at such intensive velocity, the force it would apply on to a target would be that of a 30mm Shell. The fact that the round is fired from space would make even more likely to downgrade your weapon size and increase velocity because there is nothing in space to slow the round down beside what it's aiming at.
On the note of Railguns, The US NAVY apparently has a real working rail gun in testing right now. Psychotic Monk for CSM9

Yes, of course, CCP didn't originate this idea. Rail guns in real life have some pretty drastic problems, not the least of which, the magnitude of force involved with firing one literally tears the gun apart after just a few uses. Again, there's also the input (how much energy to create the blast) output (how much blast damage results) ratio. Cost effectiveness relies heavily upon this, and for rail guns, it's just not there. STILL, it so deliciously seems you're replacing ammo, it's hard to resist trying.
The Navy/military is forgetting one great salespitch they can use for the Railgun:
'Developing Railgun Technology, for a better, cleaner war! The absence of explosives & fuel will make way for enviromental friendly war! The Military doing its part for an ecological friendly Future!'
On a serious note, Eve frigates are the size of big airplanes. Putting 2 meter long cannons on it that operate along with shielding, lifesupport & a variety of other systems is pretty impressive. While 2 meter long cannons sound big, compared to a boeing sized aircraft they're not (and still deliver a good punch)

not big at all, for eg. a g.e. gau-8/a avenger is way bigger than 2 meters (over 6 meters the whole system, 2.30 mt just the barrels) and fit on a smallish plane like the a10 warthog. ok, the a10 warthog is a gau 8a avenger with wings and oversized engines stuck on, tho is still a plane... |

Yes, it's important to remember the scale of things here.
Guns in EVE are big as houses. Literally.
It's just that some of the ships we fit them on are big as villages GÇö even large house doesn't look that big in comparison. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Mutliple people have said the guns look small because the ships are big... but if the ships are big shouldn't we need big guns to hurt them?

My sense of this is that the OP comes to us having only previously played F2P Korean MMOs. Especially the ones, all of them really, where you can barely see the avatar beneath the massive sword or gun he/she's wielding. The only thing more oversized than the weapons in those games are the massive, and I mean MASSIVE boobs on the scantily clad fighters.
In any case, to my eyes many of the weapons we have in EVE are actually too big for the ships they are on.
Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |
