So as someone who uses CQ "I can't stand looking at a static door" I find that as I was toward or away from my ship it doesn't change size.
I know EvE isn't scientifically sound but it would be really nice if things shrank in size as got larger in size as one got close to them as in real life.
What ever happens currently makes me think what the heck is wrong and almost makes me sick |

They don't appear to change size because the ships are so big. In real life, if you walk towards a house with a mountain in the background, the mountain appears to not change size also. |

yeah... the ship is at a regular scale I think.
Do you know how big models are in EVE? a dreadnaught in Crysis is very large, scaled to a map.
The frigate you're viewing in the hangar is not a Fighter. So even if you walk away in frigate or shuttle a few steps, it isn't going to change much in perspective.
Like real life, do you think the vision of a skyscraper is going to change with a few steps backwards? (touche to the post above)

If you watch how it moves as you move, it's a skybox. There is no change in perspective.

This being the root of the problem; the view is just "off".
Also, the scale is f'd up pretty bad too. Why is my Enyo the same size as my Domi? Do I park the Enyo closer for some reason?

Yes, you do park your Enyo closer. Initially, ships were all parked in the same spot and people complained that they couldn't see their frigates.

I might give that argument credence, except that an atron appears in CQ to be 30% the size of a naglfar, when its actually more like 5% the size in space. So if the nag stays the same size, the atron should be getting noticeably bigger and smaller, or should be tiny in the first place. |

Yeah pretty much this. Besides, frigates aren't that big. A crusader is only about the size of a commercial passenger airliner IIRC. |

Yes, they do a size adjustment, when you walk onto your balcony. They said it's to get a better feeling of the grandness of the ships, even the frigate sized ones.
Good solution: Dock the smaller ships closer to the balcony
CCP solution: Hack the scale factor when players get close
I agree completely, the whole thing right now looks just wrong. It kills immersion. |

Also remember that ship scales in EVE Online is pretty messed up! Many of the ships should be put into scale once the art team gets around to updating them to V3.0 like the Maller. |

there is also something wrong with the way the skybox works though. If you look towards your ship from the couch is is a much different size then when you are on your balcony.
Check it out.
