Here are some images comparing the actual scale of the objects as they appear in-game: This new station is actually our first step into the realm of large semi-complex interiors. We do have plans for larger vessels with more rooms / floors ect. We want the player to be able to run around the ship in a reasonable amount of time (in order to repair ships, fight off enemies and so on). We've decided to focus on ships that are far smaller than Star-destroyers or Galaxy-class starships so we could create more of them, we decided that having a larger variety of smaller or 'simpler' ships would benefit the game more.

We would love to create huge enterprise-like vessels with hundreds of rooms and all sorts of amazing things but in order to make the game we want to play we've had to make some tough decisions. We look at the scale of a ship through the perspective of the actual player, in reality these ships are quite large (at least to me) when compared with the average height of an in-game character.

Here are a few thoughts we usually have on the matter of scale regarding ships and stations: Hey Guys! I'm glad you guys are talking about this, it's great to read these types of discussions! but there is an in-between area that is rarely explored, a kind of area i predict would fit really well for pulsar.

sure, at the end of the day its all relative, but the day is not yet done, which offers me the chance to talk in absolutes and dimensions.Īnd yes, i understand that doing somthing like building a full sized star destroyer would be ridiculous in a game, as it would be too big (the rendering lag alone would cripple even the best of computers, not to mention the amount of time and effort put into modeling such a thing), and that building miniature ships would just be silly. While i can understand that for the most part, it doesn't make any sense to compare sizes between universes (unless you're one of the countless artists that has made size comparison charts) these ships still would feel small, and im talking from a player's perspective here, you'd be lying if you said you wouldn't be at least a bit disappointed if you couldn't at least spend a good while exploring your high tier ship that took weeks to get. But that's dumb because they don't share a universe. I could say an aircraft carrier isn't huge because a star destroyer is much bigger. If the ship is bigger than any other ship in Pulsar, then it's huge. TwoHedWlf wrote:It's all relative, huge, small etc only needs to be internally consistent with the universe it's in.
