Weapon models should be larger in ship loadout #1986

Open Goober5000 opened 5 years ago

When models instead of icons are displayed in the weapon slots, the models are way too tiny. They should be sized to fit the enclosing brackets.

Maybe have the models normalized so that the largest weapon available is the one that tightly fits the selection box? This will maintain a sense of scale, but may make it difficult to recognize the smaller weapons as the larger ones become available.

A sense of scale doesn't matter in loadouts, because that's not useful information in that context. Never mind that Tempests would be miniscule next to Helioses. Every weapon model should be sized to fit.

I think #601 is related, if not a duplicate. It's suggesting a different fix though, and on the balance I think auto-sized-to-fit is a better option for the icons. Assuming all edge cases can be accounted for :)
