ship scale

Ok is the ship scale off in the game? I ask because I have stargalzer class (heavy Cruiser). My friend is playing with the heavy escort (not sure which class). But his ship is bigger on the screen. My ships looks much much smaller.

He has a crew of 100 that must have nice penthouse suites. I have a crew of 500 that must be using the hot bunk system (maybe that's why my crew can recover so fast we can make more babies).

Anyway seems to me the scale is off...

    Your right ,the in game ship scaling is way off.

    heres a couple comparison charts of what they should look like.

    notice the conny next to the planet killer in the 2nd link - and from the size of a borg cube it should take up pretty much the whole screen when your fighting one.


    edit: It helps a little if you zoom all the way out - at least the scale looks better , but that doesn't help immersion or gameplay very much :(
