Ok two issues here that are starting to annoy me and im sure all the other chimera pilots. Purely visual there are two things just plainly wrong with the chimera.
1) Size.
oh... my... god... this thing is tiny! I mean seriously its a carrier! It has a 80k m3 drone bay, thousands of shield hit points yet its smaller then an apoc??? Its by far the smallest carrier and basically bs sized. Explain to me why it cant use gates again?
Carriers side by side
Chimera being at the top if you havent guessed :P, as you can see its tiny, almost a third of the lengh of the amarr carrier which imo is the correct size for a carrier.
Chimera and some other ships
Again tiny! Smaller by quite a bit then an apoc especially if you iqnore the pointy antenna at the front of the chimera. Heck even the iteron mk5 is almost as long.
2) Bugged center point.
Says it all
Simple pure bug this. The center point for the carrier is stuck right at the back. Perhaps a relic of the carrier being much larger? Or just a silly mistake. This causes all sorts of little problems.
Shields extending miles behind the ship, another angle.
Perhaps most annoying, flying with the camera behind the already tiny ship is a mile from the camera drone making it seem even smaller. Closest view from behind.
The ship center bug needs to be fixed, simple as that, its just a bug and really shouldnt have made it into the game like this. The size issue could be a mistake but seeing as caldari ships do tend to be the smallest im fearing it was on purpose, so im asking for ccp to look again, its just too small, its a bs not a capital ship atm.

OMFG
Chimera is the best carrier atm BECAUSE its small
the smaller the ship - the less damage it takes - the chimera is very small yes , but if say, a bs shot a Archon with 1 gun, and shot a Chimera with 1 gun - not counting resistances
Archon would take more damage due to large size
Chimera would take less damage because it is small
there ya go
 Wow. I laughed at that post then i looked through your previous posts and laughed some more. Honestly if you have no idea about a subject dont comment. Stat wise the Chimera is actually a BIGGER target then the Archon. This is purely a visual bug.

Well we asked redundancy about the chimera after his presentation and brought the two issues to his attention. Still no promises but hopefully the center point bug will be sorted soon, the size issue would have to be discussed with the art team and so looks more unlikely of being fixed quickly.
Frankly I just don't see a fix until the graphics upgrade. When their spending so much time re skinning every single ship they most likely don't want to fix issues which they will have to redo anyway.
Lets just hope with a graphics update they see it needs a size update.

Psst. It's getting fixed for Rev 2. You should be able to see it on Singularity in all its centered biggness glory. 
Thats brilliant and its looking like a good size now  .
Please make sure you fix the engine effects tho, they haven't been adjusted for the new ship size and so are in the middle of the model rather then at the back.
