I really try not to think of it.
But the stations in this game are too small in comparison to the ships that are coming out of them.
Why? |

They are bigger on the inside as they use dimensional shrinkage technology. |

Eve is full of planck containers, that are bigger on the inside than the outside, the stations are the same. That's why you cant put one cargo container inside another if assembled.
Medium Secure Container Capacity 390m3, volume 325m3 assembled, 33m3 packaged. I haven't read anything specific saying that this applies to stations so if it's anything it's only extrapolated lore because the containers do exist.

I agree Stations should be scaled correctly... They need to be much larger. CCP fix this pls looks crappy.

Why?
"Small" is a relative term. Those big caldari stations (like Jita 4-4) are hundreds of cubic kilometres in volume.

They only look small because the camera has a focus on your ship. Try zooming out.

For what it is worth, doubling the diameter will cause the surface to increase four times and the textures will then need to be scaled up and look ugly or require a higher resolution, which costs more texture memory.

Aaaaaactually, according to lore, the stations are too big imo. For example, if you read up on the development of the Titans (like all the cool kids do), then the lore states that building the first titans (ships probably on the same scale as today's titans @ approx 15 km in length) put so much strain on the resources of the empires that they nearly depleted their resources in doing so (even the mighty Amarr empire). So if this is true, then how can there be so many massive stations per system? Scale is a problem for Lore, but if you are developing a game like EVE, scale and accurate perception has to make way for game mechanics. |

Because there mostly hollow for storage of ships and goods.
But if its too much work for ccp maybe make the ships smaller might be easier? XD

I agree, the size is a bit silly.
If they tried to fix another issue (docking radius) at the same time it could be pretty cool.
Imagine:
-3x to 4x increase in station size
-docking radius is a static sized sphere or block around the area where you get "spit out" on undock
Maybe even tag the docking radius with visual beacons. It could be cool and would change the nature of on-station combat. |

The stations in EVE are actually pretty huge compared to most sci-fi. In fact the very large Caldari ones are not so far off Death Star dimensions. |

This is a pretty minor detail but it would be really cool if stations, planets and stars were bigger than they currently are.
Especially stars have always been too small in EvE but then again, the rest of EvE isn't very realistic either so small planets, stars and stations aren't really a problem. |

The amusing thing is some supercarriers look like they could fit.
On the other hand, vertical ships like the Naflgar definitely look like they can't dock in their standard position. Which they can undock in, somehow.

This ^
Scale is a problem. Here's hoping CCP realizes that. Back in the day I could see how frame rates dropping would be a problem were the scale of things what they should be. Today? Notsomuch.

Ok sounds fair but, its game. If you want reality we can all stop playing eve then. However agree the visual effect is wrong. I think to scale it will give some problems perhaps.... We will see if ccp will fixs the scaling of those stations. |

I see stations which have 10-50km diameter - like huge megalopolises on present Earth. Considering they are 3D structures (unlike flat 2D cities) their population could be in hundreds of millions. Can't call these "small". |
