I heard it was mentioned somewhere on here, but after hours of trawling - i can't find any reference of this..
So i'll ask again!
Does anyone know whats happening with the Chimera size?...its way...way...way...way..way off, half the size of anything else, me and my ceo were having a little duel last night, next to each other - the chimera is less than half the size of the archon...i've seen loads of posts on it before about how destroyed the model was..
Anyone seen any reference to it finally being fixed?

I suspect that they had to nerf SOMETHING Caldari and the Chimera's size got the bat.

But its truly pathetic, i wasn't aware of the size difference until i bought mine...
Lets break it down for people that haven't seen em...
Minmatar / Amarr / Caldari carriers are this long:
-----------------
Chimera? (caldari)
-------
THAT LONG, let me put it in plain sight!....a hauler is almost as big as me, the raven is almost the same size...

The funny thing is: fixing this would need (really realistically, speaking from modelling experience) around ONE minute.
open model.
select model
press scale
scale up
deselect
save
done.
Maybe invest another 1 minute for correcting the center point.
No side effect. No potential bugs to be caused. Only geometry.
I just can't get it why this takes so long...

I know that, and im not even a professional/novice modeller!
The funny thing is, you can see whats happened, they've copied the geometric scales from the wyvern, they just scaled it down by 50%...but the model for some reason is 25% smaller
if you turna shield hardner on when in a chimera, the shield hardner effect covers ...200% of the ship, yes, it pertrudes right out into space, same with the shield booster, armor rep, and the rest...
I almost feel ripped off buying a chimera...(not moaning) its just annoying thats all.

Here's the 8-page thread about the chimera, make sure you read at least LoxyRider's post, page 7, bottom.

That's what i meant with the center point.
Effects like shield hardeners etc are always centeres on the center point.
But as the center point is not in the center of the ship but at the very end, the effect is displayed oversized

BTW using Lightwave 3D that same list would be the following:
open model.
press scale
scale up
save
done.
And yes, by selecting the scale point wisely you'd change the pivot point too...30sec job.

Actually, the center point will take 1-2 years, as they still haven't fixed it from the original size nerf. Rest should only take about a month though :)
