Character select - wide ships mangled (NOT shuttle glitch)

edited May 2013 in Tribble - Bug Reports
Just wanted to make sure with the subject line, it was understood this is not anything about shuttles showing instead of ships.

My ships are showing, but any 'wide' ships are mangled -- basically this happens to Birds of Prey and Warbirds that are wider across the wings than they are long from front to rear. The starboard wing gets compressed -- I guess that's the best way to put it. Seems like it's getting squashed to fit into a specific bit of screen space.

Here are two screenshots I took to show the issue (cropped/resized for file size):

KDF Bird of Prey
Romulan Warbird
Live long, and prosper.

    Several patches later, this is still occurring, just as pictured in the linked pics above. :(

    I see nothing but perspective. :confused:

    Same here. Both ships have bent wings, and the angle is a bit awkard so that one sweep of the front wing is pointing directly at the camera.

    Excuse me, but did you actually look at the ships (esp. the BoP) in the pictures linked in the OP? I can't shrug that off as 'perspective' by the wildest stretch of imagination. Are you seeing something different on your character select screen?

    I'm not sure I follow what you think is going on, but there is nothing to this but perspective.

    We are showing you the entire ship, as you would fly around in it. We have no way to "squash" it. . . it is simply displayed. The angle of viewing may be messing with your perceptions, but there is no trickery going on.

    No, I see the same thing on my character select screen. And when I get in game, I see the same thing when I position the camera in front-side below the ship.

    Just perspective.

    Looks perfectly like perspective to me.

    My problem are rather huge ships. Fly a Ha'apax for example and you will only see the bottom of your ship in the character screen because it simply is too big for the screen.
    Would wish that all ships are perhaps re-sized like the characters and places behind?

    Could it be that the field of view is set improperly for those whose ships seem distorted? I do remember people having this issue a little while back causing other similar problems.

    My suspicion is that some people's Tribble display resolution is different. The video settings have to be reset and don't match holodeck. With the wrong monitor resolution, objects may look stretched out or squished.

    Yeah, anything bigger than a Mogai only shows a bottom (poor Negh'var, poor Odyssey, ...).

    The OPs pics look normal to me, just the normal distortion caused by a perspective view. As for really big ships, I agree something needs to be done about tweaking whatever auto zooming they're using, although since it is just the character select screen it's really not that big a deal.
    If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.
    Oh Hell NO to ARC
