Just saw this vid: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=328904
and at one piont (minute 15 or so) you see a Nxy and a Nidhoggur very close to each other and the Nxy is just a tiny bit bigger than the carrier, now please explain to us why a carrier can dock and a mothership can't. And don't talk about the non existant Clone Vat feature
Dreads are bigger than MS and can dock this is simply wrong.

If you look at these two pics:
Nyx 1
Nyx 2
You can see some relative size differences of our Nyx and our Battleships. While the Nyx is certainly decently sized, we would've hoped at least twice the size it currently is to justify its assigned role and storylines that it can't jump or dock because its so big, yet there are dreads which are as big as the Nyx itself.
And please seed the clone vat bay skill!!
The Establishment is at your service...

I know the models where bugged and there was talk bit ago bout fixing the carrier model Soon (tm) :)
But ya the carrier models are borked, and well the graphics Dept didn't exactly push the boat out when they 'designed' the Chimera it looks like a rehashed stretched ferox gone wrong, plain butt ugly.

As well as for pointing out the Amarr for some strange reason make all their ships considerably bigger than any other race... ;s
maybe it opened one of the emails?

I agree with the Chimera, and carriers in general, being too small.
However what I find an even bigger joke is that the motherships, which are like 15-20 times more expensive than their baby versions are hardly larger of size. They cost half a titan to build and yet are small enough to fit 100 times in a titan, graphically.

Erebus (Gallente Titan) : mass 1,762,500,000Kg volume 145,500,000m¦
Nyx(Gallente Mothership): mass 1,292,500,000kg voume 582,000,000m¦
From these stats the mothership is 73% as heavy as the titan, and about 4 times more voluminous...now let's look at the pics....

Bump
Was testing these with my friend and my megathron was nearly the same size.. this needs some serious attention. These are supposed to hold battleships in their holds, so how do you explain the battleships being nearly the same size? They ALL definately need a resize.

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.

I agree
there capital ships they should be about 1/2 to 3/4 the size of a drednaught
and it's bull when a caldari dred can dock but a nyx (visuly dwarfed by a phenox) cannot
that "grinds my gears"
FIX IT! or i will have to glue a magnifying screen to my monitor

Roger - forgot to check the signature radius
yeah, make the caldari carrier bigger - atleast the same size as the others or bigger

Not to mention the Archon not only moves faster than the chimera, while being much larger but has a smaller sig radius.

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.
That makes no sense at all !
The mass has to have something to do with size you know. If a Mac is bigger in size but the carrier has 10 times the mass somethings doesnt fit at all - thats just logicly.
The ships cant be in the stations then huh? well this can be handlest quite easy:
When a capital ship dockes the stations will know and the camera will zoom out to the two pics:
Picture 1
Picture 2
this will solve the problem that you cant see anything if you dock with your capital ship - IF THEY HAD THE RIGHT SIZES
CCP shouldnt make capital ships if they make some of em battlecruiser size! Thats about it -
>_<

Gotta be honest here, the buggered centerpoint and camera dron interferance are my biggest issues atm. Yeah the model is way too small, but the aforementioned issues actually intefere with useability, and thats just unacceptable IMHO.

This needs to be fixed. We undocked some carriers last night and Loxy was crying on TS again because my awesomely sexy Gal carrier made his look like a chew toy.

Yea i agree with loxy. It's not how the size of the ship looks that makes it harder to hit it's the the varibables in the coding. If you notice that the centerpoint is at the engines almost, then that means the varible size is definatly bigger then wat it looks like.

/signed what loxy said.
It looks from every graphic about the chimera that it actually should be alot bigger, but CCP hasnt bothered fixing this bug.

A recap of a story last night, hang in with me here, it's a good one, but made me 
One of our newer players(will call him John Doe) has just lost his Moa in combat. Shortly after a message goes out to John that a corporation Chimera Class Carrier is few systems away and has a Moa docked onboard. Excited new player who never seen a carrier before in his life sets the course for the Chimera location.
Upon arrival in his shuttle, John gets wide eyed and mutters: "wow.. I gotta get me one of these". Instructions to John were given how to undock and board the new Moa from the carrier and he done so.
Then came silence...... and puzzled John goes, "Dear Sir the carrier pilot....uhmm why is this Moa WIDER, HIGHER and just plain FATTER than your carrier and how did you fit it into your bay....."
After the carrier pilot failed to explain how he can fit up to 10 cruisers in his bay considering each one has a wider hull then his carrier, he then crawled into fetal position in the corner and resumed sucking on his thumb.
The End
Now CCP, Devs, GM's whoever payes attention to this (if anybody does at all)
So all this talk of yours how you're doing your best to create one of a kind atmosphere for player base so they can immerse themselves... uhmm how you do that if nothing falls into place, bigger ships are really not big, T2 "lottery" is not really a lottery and you bounce on 100 ships in Jita coming out of the same dock, force recon ship is really not so much of a force reacon.... I can go on but I will stop before another kitten dies.
Now I say again for a thousand times in my 3 years of being here: Maybe releasing more and more and more of new "broken" stuff is not really better for us then fixing the old content first...hmmm now thats a grand idea, eh?
P.S. and the only answer we heard so far: "well we had problems with them rendering in station so we made them smaller..." lol. are you for real
Overall game is great, hence why i'm still here after 3 years but a lot of stuff is missing and at this point Pirates of the Burning Sea and Infinity Quest for Earth starting to look really good....

Get ready.. this is gonna be hard to believe... I know, a ShoCkeR..
But some of us players of EvE don't log on everyday to see how fast we can press F1, F2, F3...etc and see how many we can kill tonigh to make us feel more manly because we had a bad day or horrible childhood (not implying that you're that kind)
Instead we like to get a way from day to day task of real life and immerse ourselves inside something more a fantasy like and when your fantasy time all of the suddenly interupted by silly flaws like Loxy and other players mentioned it defeats the purpose of trying to do what ever that is us geeks do... picking up what i'm laying down

Thats really the key word here. Immerse. Carrier sizes are simply immersion breaking at the moment.
