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.

I do think it is a bit odd that a capital ship should be smaller or even the same size as a BS , even if Caldari ships tend to me smaller than other races in comparison. It just does'nt seem right for a capital ship to be that small :/

It does look like CCP just cut the model in half, but didn't edit the other parameters to match up with the new model...it's odd at best.

"Says it all"
Maybe they forgot to attach the rear part, just like Scorpion went out of the dock with just one wing ^^;;
seriously though aye... i love the looks of Caldari carrier, it's one of my favourites... but she could use getting a tad bit bigger, to be more like the other carriers ;.;

About why it cant use gates:
It has been discussed before but noone get it, which includes myself  .
As you just said youself, its tiny, smaller than a BS. Thats like the first reason for it to have the ability to jump.
The mass of a carrier is smaller than a freigter - so smaller visual and in numbers afterall.
The carrier should be working in small gruop attacks as CCP told us ourself. But a small gruop doest really have a Recon with them and enough ppl to defend the Recon for enemies if they wanna pop-up.. So..
well, I just miss the logic of new added features, lots of great ideas they just dont fit they real game.

Hehe, loxy needs an enlargement 
And archon ftw, serves you right for picking inferior ship design

My carrier would kick your carriers ass, in about 5 hours of fighting.

The shield boosting 'bubble' as well as the Center point do look like it is 3/5 of its original size :)

I AGREE WITH LOXY (mind the caps lock! it was used in order to emphasize my support !)
Please make the Chimera bigger so it can serve as the e-peen enlargement that it was inteded to be :( (in my case at least)

SIGNED... i've posted same issue in Ship and Mods forum... haven't heard a peep from devs/GM/BH this is simply silly
Funny thing is, pull up info on Machariel and Chimera and out them side by side and pay attention to MASS numbers... LOL according to numbers Chimera should be 10 times teh size of Machriel.. but yet it look like a cruisers next to it

Allow the caldari carrier to use jump gates also, but none of the other carriers. That is acceptable also.

The Caldari BS and capitals all look pretty small to me tbh...

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.

The thing is these ships are supposed to be CAPITAL ships, which implies on them being big.
And then you have a standard Battleship which is bigger than a capital ship ? this is just plain wrong.
Another example: The Nyx roughly 3-4 longer than a Raven but yet it can store 2 of those assembled, and even being so small atm it can't dock in a station, sorry those ships are to small, a Mothership should be at least 1/4 the size of a station and a Titan 1/2 (if not more) of it.
edit spelling

Oh come one ... do the math :P Match the number and sizes of ships you can fit in the ship maintenance bay and it is rather apparent that if you put any ships in a Chimera there is just NO room even for the engines :P
Oh btw, seen the Wyvern yet? Model resizing ftw ^^

Hm another point of attention .. as the caldari tier 3 BS is a direct derivative from the caldari tier 1 carrier model ... will we be able to put that one in our pockets too? Though in fleet combat it should be fun as everybody would mistake them for cruisers :-)

As well as for pointing out the Amarr for some strange reason make all their ships considerably bigger than any other race... ;s
