Nope actually. :D See size comparison here: [link]

Amarrian battleships range from the smallest (Armageddon) 1km in length, still longer by 200m to this one. To 1.5km for the Apocalypse, which is roughly twice the size of this ship. :P My own battleship skill (minmatar) are still only at level 3 anyway. :[

Minmatar! Its the race I always choose as well. Funny how two Minmatar players decided to design ships for the enemy. Can't help it, Amarr ships are so menacing looking.

Haha yeah. I'm Vherokior ingame, closest to my actual real world ancestry I guess LOL (which is why I chose Thukker for my minmatar ship, as they have the same preference for fast ships). It's probably because the two factions (Amarr and Minmatar) have the most compelling backstory of the four, as well as brings with it the vaguely middle eastern/tribal/medieval space operas with all its air of mystery and violence - Homeworld, Dune, Star Wars, Stargate, etc. Gallente and Caldari rivalry on the other hand, is a bit too familiar to be really that evocative.

But both the Apocalypse and the Abaddon are 800m I have an Abaddon and the scale says 800m.

Here's the video provided for the contest: [link]

And a newer updated Aprocrypha edition ship scale chart: [link]

Unless EVE resized their ships, AFAIK the Armageddon is ~1000m with the Abaddon is ~1200m, while the Apocalypse is ~1600m.

This ship is actually closer to a Caldari Raven in size (which is only 726m).

Weird. I guess they didn't update the game length maybe. But the scale in the previewer says my Abaddon is 800m. :P There must be some sort of confusing going on.

Hrm... Weird indeed. :P But knowing the gnarliness of all the data CCP has to process with each update, probably something just overlooked. You using an external previewer? It may have gotten the scales wrong or something. That said, I dunno if battleship size actually affects the skills needed to fly it. :)

The game has an internal previewer when looking up a ship's information. And it displays the size of the ship from back to front.
AStepIntoOblivion's avatar
Oh yeah. I remember using that just before I stopped playing. Hrm... they might really have changed it then as all previous charts put the ships at the 1000-1600 range.

Possible they haven't updated the game itself yet regarding length.
