I think of my ship as a small kitten, fragile and adorable (those big ears! those wide eyes!). the other ships I meet I think of as yarn, or maybe a plastic ring from a milkjug, to be tossed about, batted a bit, and chewed on until I lose interest (aka, they explode).

I see EVE as submarine warfare.

I totally agree that bigger ships should have a way more slots. Its just funny how its done; 1 battleship has huge problems with fighting 2 or 3 little frigates even frigate pilots are unskilled. This what kills the game realism and sense of size.
Another annoying thing is that for example you cannot fitt probe launcher on BC or BS, because if you do youll losse your ability to for example cloak , fleet boost or hit hard when in the same game 100 times smaller ships can fitt same module LOL

Make the game more realistic please CCP and Im sure youll have definitelly more subscribers.

Like a sardine !

I personally like to ships (I'm a fan of Naval Warfare). Even in a pure design standpoint, almost every ship ever designed had point defense to counter swarms, aircraft, etc. The fact that in th 32nd century capitals that are impotent against frigs is a naval-articets uber-blunder.

But the question is.... would it make for fun gameplay if bigger always outclassed smaller? Probably not, which is why I'm ok with the way things are now.

But at the same time, the new weight of armour slowed them, and the huge guns needed to penetrate that armour fired at very slow rates. This allowed for the possibility of a small and fast ship that could attack the battleships, at a much lower cost. The introduction of the torpedo provided a weapon that could cripple, or sink, any battleship.
