I fly a machariel, one of the biggest looking bs's around, but when im alone or in a fleet of all battleships & up, I feel the size of a cruiser, and I constantly count the floors to my ships when I fly them to feel the massive ship I am in control of, but its really hard, so I often watch size comparison videos on youtube, or zoom in all the way xD.
Who feels the same, and how do you cope, and how could this be fixed? O_o |

Seriously. How can we fix you feeling like your ship is small?
Look down between your legs. Now look back up at your screen. There, your ship will seem a lot bigger now.
Merry Christmas and glad I could help.

I think what you need here, is a visit to a Total Perspective Vortex
"When you are put into the Vortex you are given just one momentary glimpse of the entire unimaginable infinity of creation, and somewhere in it a tiny little mark, a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot, which says, "You are here."" |

Dammit sammy, see what you did?
Try this, rigth click and hold, drag the camera around a bit, and use both mouse buttons to zoom in, it creates a different perspective :P The Drake is a Lie |

goons did the math and figured out you can just use smaller ships more with better agility and achieve the same effect. |

blame low res textures on big ships. If you fly smaller ship near bigger ship, your smaller ship is crisp, but larger ship is blurry. Just look at the windows of battleships or titans. One window on titan is large and blurry (and awfully low res). windows on large ships are even bigger than cruiser class ships.
textures on large sips are not in scale to smaller ships... thats the reason...

A different spot in the game where you can see how your brain fools you is the CQ. On the path from the hangar to the inside, while having the camera point at your ship.
Perspective is something everybody perceives, but many lack. |

The visual appearance of the ships in this game keep alot of people from realiseing just how unbelieveably MASSIVE these things are. To put it in perspective, I built a few 1:1 scale ships in minecraft. Even the smallest friggets dwarf most of my buildings. The larges ship Iv managed to build is the Cormant, a destroyer, and its almost 200 blocks long. A titan is larger than my entire minecraft map at over 18k blocks long. So yea, they are big. Carebear? Im a brony, motherf***er. |

Just fly around zoomed in all the way. Then your ship will always look "really big."
Hint: you can always make your ship look small by zooming out, because space is bigger than your ship. |

It's a result of a lack of visual clues that you're looking at a large object.
There's no:
- Depth effect and parallax, there's no objects in front of it (of a known size) to create visual comparison. This is why the moon looks huge when it's low in the sky, your brain knows its a long way away by parallax, and that it needs to be huge to appear at this distance, ergo it makes it feel larger to you. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_illusion
- No atmosphere. This is actually a 'problem' in real life as well, objects in space that are large and distant don't have the same level of atmospheric dispersal covering them, so they don't look far away to our way of perceiving things. This video lets you see what would happen if EvE ships were in the sky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPeb547pis0 The illusion of size, despite using identical graphical assets, is very stark.
- The camera fit to a central point makes the first issue above more prevalent (sometimes a ship will pass you and look suitably large because it accidentally achieves the properties needed to appear massive).
There's no way to fix any of these issues, really. "Do not touch anything unnecessarily. Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." -Soviet infantry manual, issued in the 1930 |

T T P = Under 3 minutes. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Try Freespace or Freespace 2 where capital ships really do look like capital ships |
