Rescale ships.

Feb 11, 2017 Mr.Kruger link
Well, I'm going to be off VO for a week or so, so I decided to start a forum conversation that I'm passionate about. but know very little about.

I think a great way to create more variety in ships, is to make it so that they are not all the same size. The idea came to me after I flew a Centurian passed a station and saw that the station windows were tiny in comparison, I giggled to myself as I imagined the size of the cockpit and how many water fountains I would fit inside.



But I not asking that ships are rescaled so that a centurion is impossible to hit, I'm just hoping that a light fighter will look small in comparison to Ragnarok.

Call me a dumb-ass or +1, either way, I would be happy with one at least one solid reason not to do this.

Not only the ships need a rescale but aswell as a redesign. With the Capella and Goliath having way more details, it kind of creates a graphical unbalance. Models should be reworked to be more detailed.

I like the ships scaled the way they are. Maybe rescale the stations instead? That would be a big project that would probably take a lot of developer time, so that isn't a priority.

I think ships should be redesigned so, they look differently. Also, separate ships unto groups of destroyers, scouts, assaults in thevery store menu. Make ships different sizes.

ships are fine, leave them be physically. a retexture and whatever to touch it up graphically would be nice, though.

As for sorting them, what is wrong with the current progression-based system? most of the ships are very intuitive anyways.

The scale is something that constantly gets on my nerves, it feels cheap having every ship being of relative size.

(I found this before I decided to move on, I'm not sure how accurate it is)

I must have missed that one, it sounds like Incarnate didn't like the idea.

Thanks, Bojan, I'll be moving onto other fantasies now lol
