1- get out of your ship so that you are on your capsule, which is close to your human size and therefore it helps to comprehend the scale.
2- leave the station but before going anywhere else double click on the direction you want to go so your ship turns and you have manual control over it.
3- get close to those tiny windows that you see in the station and you'll see how tiny you really are.
4- mindblow.
I wanted to know how big are those stations in reality, so I decided that the best way to check it out was to get as close as posible to the human scale and check it out myself. It was amazing, I felt like that scene in wall-e where the two robots fly toghether around the exterior of the ship.
Try it, is awesome. |

The Pod will also fit inside the barrel of a 1400mm Arty.

Eve ships here. Look at the lower left corner for scale info. For comparisons you can also check this and this. |

The crew number is probably as big as the ship(s).
A lone human in a pod is just convenient for the sake of the game play, in reality the crew size of a Titan would probably be the same as the Super Star Destryer in Star Wars, or IIRC 250,000. |

So, how much more do the super-jumbo Pods cost?  |

No crew is needed. Capsuleers plug directly into the ship's control systems and manage the whole thing with their supercharged brains.
I disagree with the idea that the points of light on ships are intended to be windows. |

When you hit for wrecking while using a Pod as ammo, it ejects the orginal owner, and the "ammo Pod" takes control of the ship. Of course, with half the structure value left on the ship, and tempory memory loss rusulting in the new owner being a sitting duck for 30 seconds. |

The EVE backstory and the RP community have already established that battleships and capitals have crew complements in the thousands. Sorry. |

No. There is some CCP lit somewhere that tells the crew size. You, as a pod pilot, just control vital areas like telling the crew when to fire. |

Pod goo adds weight! 120kg apparently. |

actually you're both right. Most ships out there are not flown by a pod pilot. Only we few pod-pilots fly are able to jack-in and control all systems by ourselves from within our pods. So yea the ships have windows, and crew quarters, etc etc by design, however it's all left empty when we pilot them. tralala |

Wrong, Almost all ships piloted by a pod pilot have a crew. Pod technology only reduces the number of required crew. Check the background with stories as, for instance, "hands of a killer" or any of the replies on this subject by CCP personel. Only some of the frigates have no crew beyond the pod pilot. Everything else also has a human crew. Hmm that does put a bit of a different light on all those ships destroyed for insurance payout. Wonder if any rp groups take/took up that cause. |

As im not, and have never been, very much interested in the RP part of EVE is there someone who can direct me to any post or backstory that tells roughly how big of a crew a BS has? Would like to know how many people i killed with my IER  Oh, and I was not even a very big player in this, at most a couple of thousand ships. Cosmoray, and some other guy, i think built 13k BS, in november alone, for IER purpose. Don't think they blew up all themselves but thats gotto be a lot of (imaginary) people's deaths they can be held accounted for  |

But for the ones on that ship - those six thousand people who worked with you, Parien - those pods didn't even last that long.
So 13k BS -> ~ 78.000 People dead or seriously harmed.  |
