part of the issue, is that ccp dont want people to be able to id a bs from their size on teh overview. which is stupid
give eavh ship a unique size, if you have memory enough to know that the ship 532m lon is a scorp and the 800m long is teh apoc, and the 612m long is the raven, etc rather than bs's =500m apoc =800m <><><><><><><><><>

Originally by: Helenae Considering the caldari carrier is the same size of the apoc, it would be ridiculous if the tiers 3 BS is longer than the carrier capital ship 
Very true, hence...
Originally by: Helenae Or resize them both ?...

does ship size really matter at all? Or does having a smaller ship make your e-peen go limp?

They're a tad on the small side, but what the Caldari BS's lack in length, they make up for in width and in the Scorpion's case, a little bit of height. It makes for quite a disappointing side profile, but I have a feeling the overall surface area is somewhat the same. The Rokh looks like a standard lenghty BS, so I don't see any reason it would be smaller than the others.
The Chimera though... that needs to be fixed. ____________________________

Despite actually being an advantage, yes. It does. I hate it

the chimera "center" is behind the rear. although in the game it does nothing, it looks like complete crap when shooting at it or just when flying it.
it's an annoyance.

Now what is wierd, is the fact that caldari ships have the biggest sig radius of all Battleships.
That means they should have the biggest target profiles.
And they leak the most radiation.
It's wierd really. Mind control and tin hats |

In real life, no. But when you're playing a game, and you buy a $200 or $300 video card to play this game then you obviously want some cool graphics proportionate to the cool price. It's nothing about e-peen, but about satisfaction you get when playing the game. I mean, wouldn't you care if suddenly CCP decided they were going to make EVE a text-based game for Minmatar pilots? A good part of the reason I play is because the graphics in EVE, although dated, are pretty damn awesome, and when you have weird anomalies like the size of the Chimera, then something just seems wrong. ____________________________

Please fix the sizes so that people stop noticing this.  * * * In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Edited by: James Lyrus on 26/07/2006 21:33:18 You forgot the Chimera :). And yes, I could cope with smaller battleships, if they had stats to reflect this. Compare the stats block of Scorpion with the stats block of the Megathron. Pay particular attention to mass, signature radius and volume. Then fly one up to the other in game, and you'll see what I mean.
I don't mind having the heavy ships, as long as they're also the biggest ships. (Actually, that's a lie, I'd much prefer to fly something that _didn't_ fly like a brick, but size reflecting mass is an acceptable substitute)

I'd rather be riding a small one packed with technology than a big hulking hunk of metal that looks like a car straight out of the '70s.
Well, I want to fly a muscle car, so leave it out

Make motherships and (probably) titans bigger. Their models are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too small for what they are supposed to be capable of holding.

I think it's just rediculous the small size of caldari ships, considering them also having the higest mass. Looking at the picture below, ccp is telling me both of those ships each have a greater mass then the one above, thats absurd.
The raven should at least be resized to what I have done so, so that the huge mass and sig radius actually makes sense.

long long time ago, caldari ships mass and agility were in line with their size but when a scorp/blackbird was fitted full meds of mwds they went crazy speeds, this was also true with other cald ships.
So with that caldari were given a general mass nerf to all ships. I think originally mass went like Amarr-Gallente-Minmatar-Caldari, minmatar ships were faster in general though. This was to fit in line with who armour/shield tanks and back story.
So in all the reason for the mass nerf of caldari ships is now obselete with current game mechanics. It never got changed back cause people got used to it and 'forgot' why it was nerfed in the first place

Rokh Concept Art
EDIT: Don't make the Scorp bigger! It's butt-ugly and that's not going to be helped by making the model larger. The Rokh should definitely be apoc/machariel size.

i would say the Rokh should be small, a bit bigger then the Scorp... so pilots of other races have something to laugh about...
and about the large sig radius compared to it's size... well all the Caldari ships use shield tanking... and if you look at the shield extender attributes you see that it increases the signature radius...

Sorry, but God's Word is Law.
Listen, you Caldari have missiles, ewar, and now an 8 turret bs. That's pretty darn good by anyone standards. I am sorry that your "chariot" just doesn't "swing low" enough.

PS - If you think the Apoc is impressive you should have seen the drawings for the Amarrian pope-hat BS that someone drew up. *THAT* was an impressive flying religious temple. Too bad it didn't make it ingame. Wish I had saved it.

Edited by: Nemain on 27/07/2006 02:21:44 If my memory serves me correctly, way back (probably around 2003-2004) one of the devs, probably Tomb, said they were the wrong size and should be amoung the biggest ships. That being the case, if I didn't imagine it, along with a shed load of other graphical defects (messed up textures, floating turrets, disjointed or squewed ship parts etc) it never got fixed.
Whenever, anyone mentions that size doesn't count I always remember Anger Management. When Adam Sadler asks the 2 women if they think that size matters, and gets the response "we disagree in this, I like them big, she likes them massive"

I never said anything about it being BIGGER. That would be cool and all, but realistically it should just be the same size as the Armageddon and Megathron. ------------------ Originally by: kieron Buy ISK for RL cash here!

I agree, Caldari BS are way to small. Just a few weeks ago i tried out an Amarr Armegeddon. Ok i bought it, and when i activated it, i almost fell of my chair. I couldnt believe how big it was. The entire front side of the ship took the whole screen inside the station. I said to myself, damnit! Now thats a battleship! And the others ones too, geddon, apoc, domi, minmatar ones, all BIG. Caldari are so small, its pathetic.
I mean can u imagine a Naval Battleship today being dwarfed by a Naval Cruiser ship? Its just not how it works. CCP, now that you updated the ENTIRE graphics of EVE, this is your best time to fix some of these annoying things.
P.S. While your at it, get rid of the flicking textures from Amarr stations.......thx.

I haven't had a chance for a first-person comparison of the BS sizes lately, but from the picture's you all have given, there's way too much of a difference between the races- part of the way ships are classified are by size, and I don't think that different races' interpretations of "Big enough to be a battleship" would be all that different.
What I have been able to compare is having my caracal being as long as a ferox. That just does not work. _______________________________________________
