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.
Hahaha  . Excellent post mate.

How much longer do we have to wait? I've bug reported this... can't we just release an emergency patch to fix the carrier size?  No? Dang.
Seriously though. I've got a Revelation Dreadnaught on another character. Since it's pretty much on POS killing duty and rarely sits around outside a station much, every now and then I undock it for the newer players to get a look, and tremble in awe of my incredible might and power. Yeah. It gives me way too much pleasure.
But then theres the Chimera. My Chimera comes out of production tomorrow (for this char), and I've already done pretty extensive testing and practice with it on the test server (the old test server, not the new one I can never log into... HINT HINT). So I know exactly what is going to happen. I'm going to jump it down to home base and probably a few of our players who haven't seen one of these yet (they're fairly uncommon to see, everyone seems to have an Archon or a Thanatos) will swing by to check it out.
Here's the problem. The ship looks huge if you're sitting next to it in a shuttle. Or a Pod. Zoom out a bit and the little ship is just a speck and it LOOKS for all intents and purposes like a big ship. It's engines rumble like an earthquake when it moves, and it takes a good fraction of a minute to turn 180 degrees. Very impressive. Then someone's going to fly up next to it in an Apoc. The Chimera is smaller than an Apoc. All my hard work, training, ISK and glory for this capital ship that can carry a small fleet... and I'm dwarfed by a common battleship.
You know what's amusing? On SiSi a while back I ejected a Prophecy out of one. My brother (who was to fly the Prophecy) just about died laughing.
 Ah well. I'd better brace myself for the mockery I'll be tomorrow when I get my Chimera. "LMAO! You trained how long for that tiny thing?!" :Sigh:

Do you honestly still believe bugreporting serves any more purpose in this game? Come on, there isn't even a defect list so we can check if an issue has been made aware of, if it's been passed to which department, etc.
In all likelyness the Chimera bug/glitch/mess story has already been lost among a myriad of bug reports which several hundred monkeys are going over to catalogue for a few months until it becomes apparent they are all dealing with the same topics but are just mildly different in their approach. By that time it's become clear that Kali part 6 has to take precendence. The year now is 2011.
:P

If at all, I doubt the devs will be fixing this before the new DirectX 10 gfx engine hits EVE. Apparently, the way models are rendered in stations had them decide to size down the carriers.
Shifting the centerpoint of the Chimera might allow them to scale it up a little and still have it fit in the station view, but then it would be relatively large, considering the whole "Caldari ships are smaller" thing.
But let's face it people: it's not really that big an issue (no pun intended). Yes, it looks silly. Yes, it should be fixed the next time major graphics changes are put in. But the whining about stations being smaller on the outside than ships and hangars suggested died down eventually as well and I doubt EVE lost a lot of players over it.
Do you really want to be that guy in another MMO explaining how he left the best MMO out there just because the devs wouldn't scale a few models in the game look more 'realistic'?

Grismar.

Well Said Grismart.
I'd rather have something that functions correctly rather than something that just looks the part.
I would love to have both and I dont expect it to be a big issue for them to change, but as you say it's not really a big deal and people should get over it.
plus.. cal carriers kinda stink :P

To Grismar: If you read all the replies carefully you will see that Ship sizes is just the begining of it. Nobody says this is thenumber ONE thing that should be fixed NOW asap.... all we're saying that it's wrong, nobody mentioned anything about it... and so on. Yes everything should be fixed before putting out new stuff like i said before, not just "chimera size"
To the "not so smar...uhmm helpful" poster above this
If you don't have anything constructive to say next time..how about not saying anything at all.....m'kay? thanks bye.

i think BEFORE adding anything new they shoud go over all the problems with the ships and stuff and get it fine tuned and then get new stuff for us to complain about!

theres a perfectly good explenation for this.
caldari ships dont pack the loads of armor plates like the other races. so there ship is smaller :)
and becosue caldari is a shield tank race there shields are biger :)
but anyway the center thing looks verry obvious :)

That dosent explain why the Charon, which is larger, can use jumpgates, while the carrier, which is significantly smaller, cant use jumpgates. When it comes down to it, all carrier sizes are messed up though, they should be the same size as a dread.

Ok so i think i got it, whenever another pilot wants to store his ship in the said carrier... he pulls up and request to speak with the magic ghey ferry sitting at the end of the dock... once the ferry agrees to magically make his Moa/Caracal/Blackbird/Osprey/Maller/Omen/Prophecy...smaller. Than and only than is the ship able to dock in the carrier
Your little nice argument about armor plates don't explain why OTHER NON ARMOR PACKING caldari ships (cruisers) are wider/thicker/fatter then carrier......
Next please

No, I mean the same size . If anything should be bigger than a dread its the Motherships.

well, besides a free bump,
i'm going to add my two cents, Yes the carreirs do need a epeen upgrade as they're size arnt that big that to a battleship,
Archon is about the right size, yet the much noticed "Larger massed" smaller model sized caldari is that of a bs, but, if you think about it.. A carrier can fit two Mammoths in its Ship cargo hold, correct?
Thus it should be 2 1/3 bigger than two mammoths in Langth?
I almost cryed when a friends march undocked on my carrier and swallowed it, ..And add a combat bounes to carriers please?

some funny stuff i have to admit, tbh, when the new graphics is being updated, not only should all ships look shinier but all ships should be resized, otherwise a shiny ship new ship will look like a shiny toy pocket ship
the chimera is an embarrasment to the name carrier, and most of the comments posted make obvious sense, in terms of ships the following should be done
titans should be 50% bigger than motherships
motherships 45% bigger than carriers
carriers 10 % bigger than dreads
dreads 50% bigger than frieghters
frieghters 10 % bigger than bships
bships = to industrials
industrial 25% bigger than cruisers
cruiser 25% bigger than frigates
something like that

the centerpoint atleast needs to be fixed :)
then worry about the sizes.
but you never know what will come in the next patches
hopefully this will be fixed.

its really a shame flying around this pocket carrier (allthough i really love the design... its just... too small)
No matter what excuses someone comes up with, that is an imersion breaker...
We should get jumpgate capability at least until the chimera gets resized to a propper size
:edit:
oh.. and as long as it is this small it should get its mass reduced so it can use stuff like 100mn ab/mwd and the like

nah ... that would make freighters 10% bigger than industrials, while having roughly 100 times the capacity.
IMHO, the sizes are fine for all ships except carriers, motherships and titans. They should be much larger. Motherships should be 3-4 times the size of carriers, titans 5 times or more (station size - why not?). They're supposed to be visually stunning, not just a little bit bigger than BS.

i have to agree with that carriers motherships and titans should be truly gigantic personally i think when a frig deos a flyby of a carrier it should be only a spec next to it . persannly i think those three classes should be scaled up in size 50% each at least . when i first got my carrier a corpmate undocked next to me in a bestower that was a let down tbh .

Love the ship but completly agree, it's far too small, it feels big but really isn't. It needs an upgrade in size and its focal point needs ot be changed from the engines to the center of the ship!
Too bad this wont get any attention for probably a good year or so since it's a 'small bug'.

there should be no problem with making carriers a little bigger, because dreads are bigger then them... so make them a just a little smaller or so... that would be nice... dont get it if dreads can be that size why carriers cant be a little smaller then them
