What I meant was scale does matter a lot.
Has anyone ever looked at a Mark3 and an Anaconda next to each other? Or a Cobra next to a station?
It doesn't make sense to me. The Cobra model is way too oversized while stations and Anacondas are way too undersized (and the Anaconda's cargo space is surely an artifact of someone misreading a cipher hand scribbled by Bell or Braben. I don't see a problem making docking easier for new players if we in return get a game with relative sizes that make sense.
It would be nice to see a set of replacement models address the issue of scale.
While we're at the Cobra MK3: It's almost an ubership. In the basic set you can't really get anything better. I propose that something heretical should be done to it's stats. Eg. lower max cargo to 15t and have the expansion be only 10t.
I know that this is something that some people feel strongly about. I think that whenever gameplay or realism clash with continuity, gameplay and realism should take precedence.
