Hey people,
I was just wondering on what you guys think of the size of the Caldari Battleships compared to other races Battleships.
I know it's random and doesn't really effect the game, but i thought id just post it as i think they are like really quite small compared to the other races BS's, put a Rokh up to a Hyperion and you'd see what i mean.
Anyway, share your thoughts :P

The bigger issue is why carriers and supercarriers are so small..

Share my thoughts? Everyone with healthy eyes can see for themselves. The size also numerically represented on the ship preview screen.
I don't see how you can have an opinion about something that is represented as a static number (like axis in ship preview screen) unless you are trolling.

I don't think you are trolling, but there will be a guy who will tell that you're just talking b*** - that would be a troll.

All carriers are too small. Check out a Hyperion next to a Thanatos, the battleship is bigger. Also, Wyverns are waaaay too small...

I honestly didn't notice a Wyvern, a supercarrier, in a blob of normal carriers...

You can have an opinion on what constitutes small.

Ahh... yes... there IS one thing that can be measured but varies in size depending on who's looking at it. Sadly discussing that "item" on this forum would get me a forum gag.

No... I thought about some items in another game, but because discussing other games is prohibited in this section of the forum, I didn't want to tell what it is.
But you, sir, have a dirty mind.

Yes, I think Caldari BS are small in comparison to other battleships.
As a Caldari pilot it's really odd to undock in my Golem beside a Mach, knowing I could kick his ass with ease, and then glance over to an Archon, which is near the size of the Mach, and know I wouldn't stand a chance. 
I wish they would redue how the Raven hull looks, just as they did to the Scorpion. You know make it look a little more like a Raven, I guess?
As a side note for those complaining about size; watch these two vids:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0O3Xl6a4wc&feature=channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evD5xqIHLmI&feature=watch_response
The reality is that the ships are actually quite large.

Yeah dude i 100% agree with you. The Raven would look better symetric, i think they did a great job on the Scorpian.

While the Scorpion resembles a scorpion more now, amusingly the Rattlesnake resembles a rattlesnake less.

I was shocked when I clicked on this thread that the OP wasn't Atticus. That title is so him.
I hope this isn't some copycat forum troll bot.
As to the question. I think the ship sizes are comparatively fine. Perhaps missile bays don't take up as much space as a bank of hybrids and a monster drone bay. Perhaps the drive is more compact. Maybe the Caldari don't have inadequacy issues and need to make a bigger ship than the next guy.
BTW, I also have no issues with the fact that, for the most part, their ships are not bilaterally symmetrical.
A world like EVE needs variety.

First time I saw the Rokh next to the Megathron I thought: "oh, that's pretty small actually".

This even more so. I was in a fleet with a Nyx the other day. I pulled up next to it in my hyperion and didn't exactly feel small

We Caldari don't mind... You see; smaller battleships can fit into very tight stargates.
