Along with V3'ing of the Angel the vessels on sisi, the Machariel has taken an approximately 25% reduction in visual size. I am oddly in favor of this change as the current model is only slightly smaller than that of a carrier. A carrier can hold x2 unpacked Machs in its bay making the differential in size somewhat strange.
This brings me onto a interesting request. Would it be possible to for all ships to be the appropriate size in regards to their cargoholds?
I haven't done the math but I imagine this would effect carriers and perhaps certain industrial ships. If these ships need to be increased in width or height you may have to increase the size of stations.
I assume that capital & industrial ships will see some V3'ing soon. Will this allow for further changes to model sizes?
CCP you could add some really great immersion/grandeur to the game if you ensure that your scaling system is closer to reality. |

I stand corrected, the Macherial has a unpacked volume of 595,000m3. I think this need changing now that the ship model has itself been reduced to a comparable size to the other BS.
All other other BS are under 500,000m3 allowing for a carrier to hold 2 of them. |

Thanatos = 13,095,000m3 Battleship = 500,000m3
A Thanatos should be x26 the size of a Battleship. Currently they are about x4/x5. |

A Thanatos should be x26 the size of a Battleship. Currently they are about x4/x5. Volume, not area. It should have around 5-7 times the battleship's length. EDIT: Assuming twice the height/beam of a BS, that is.
Well tbh it should look as though you have enough space to fit them into the cargo hold/fly into and dock. |

... If bad grammar upsets you, you ought re-evaluate your priorities.
If you would like to actually contribute to the topic of the thread, rather then derailing with an idiotic post, I will quite happily accommodate your opinions. |

...and yet your posts are neither on-topic or constructive. Its is quite obvious you have come into this thread attempting to make inflammatory remarks. Again, either discuss the initial topic of this post or feel free to let yourself out.
Moving on... I guess the only problems with increasing the size of dock-able ships (not an issue for increasing the size of Supercarriers) is the effect of scaling on stations.
Without large enough models for stations, increasing the size of already large ships would appear impossible; due to the size station model's docking bay. |
