Guess the caldari are just very efficient at cramming everything in.
This has been flagged up for attention, durign development there was an issue where docke dcarriers were too large for the station modelling process, and as a result all internal sizes were modified to make ships look smaller inside stations. The caldari model might be meant to be its size for specific reason (less drone inclined) or something may have occurred with the resizing process.
Either way, changes to model sizes would require a client patch, if this happens you'll be well aware of it.

Yes, we are aware of this. There are two problems here:
1.) The 'size' of certain capital ships. There is a graphics 'renovation' project in the works that should address many outstanding issues of this nature. Obviously the Chimera has suffered the most from this and will be adjusted.
2.) The 'center point' bug is something that's being look at in detail. One example is that Mothership pilots are running into problems with fighters sitting on top of their ships but not being in docking range.
The dedication and tenacity of everyone in this thread is to be admired but the problem is not as easily fixed as it might seem. It will happen 'soon' though.

I guess however that you guys don't have a time frame for either bugs except 'soon'?
Is it first expected in the major graphic update in kali 3 or can we expect it before that?
thx abathur for the update, much appreciated
I am pretty sure that this update would hit sometime in the next few months, so you'll likely see it before Kali2 hits. Some of the other Devs (not me OFC) fly Chimeras as well and are just as annoyed by it as anyone.
And you're welcome. This thread deserved a little love.

Heh as for compensation can you redesign it with citadel launchers on it for our months of suffering and a bigger fighter bay!!! 
Someone is watching too much Battlestar Galactica...

Have you had a look at motherships too?
Yes, and thank you for the pic / stats.

UPDATE
The issue is not just the Chimera. Once again, the problems here are both with the overall 'size' of the ships and the placing of the center point. There are several ships in EVE that are in serious need of re-scaling. The Chimera just happens to be one of the more outstanding examples.
The problem is even more pronounced with motherships. Take a look at some of the Tier 3 battleships next to the Hel or the Nyx - how exactly are you supposed to fit two of those ships inside a ship barely 1/3 larger on the screen?
These are the questions I am asking myself and this has become one of my pet projects. I had hoped to see this changed by now, but it looks like it will be done when the big graphics update happens.

why has this 16 page thread been essentially ignored or the fact that 80 people are working on the new renders for next year but no remedial fix can be done. Why? Becuase noone in CCP cares that it is the wrong size or was not picked up by QA before release.
Oh, we care, more than you might think. You see, the Chimera is hardly the only ship that is suffering graphically. There are several ships in the game that are too big, too small, too fat or the wrong colors, etc... If you want another good laugh, take a look at the size of the Hyperion and compare it to the Nyx or the Hel. The Chimera is simply the poster child for the whole issue.
Sadly, it is probably true that the Chimera and the rest will continue in their current state until the graphics overhaul which is currently scheduled for Kali 3. It may seem like a long time away, but my understanding is that there is a lot of effort going into the graphics renovation project to not only make the game look better but also run smoother.
The good news is that ALL of the ships in EVE are getting overhauls both in terms of graphics and size. So not only will the ships be the correct size, but they will look better than ever! When that happens, everyone in a Chimera can rejoice because TBH they really are the coolest looking carrier.

Psst. It's getting fixed for Rev 2. You should be able to see it on Singularity in all its centered biggness glory. |
