Micro Ships!

[Apex Artist]

During my playthrough of the current expedition, I landed in one of the space stations and there were a handful of tiny ships with standard scale pilots. Anyone else capture the same?

I always wanted a micro hauler!

You're using mods.

[GenSec39]

Yep, sometimes I meet such ships as well. Dunno if it is a bug or not. And no - no mods.

A couple of things I noticed while in the station.

Each micro ship had the same ship of normal size, and the pilots couldn't be interacted with. No ships would fly in and land on those pads.
Lastly, that hooped ship looks over-sized to me, with a micro version of it in the spot ahead.

I didn't stick around to see what would come of this, but everything else in the station seemed normal.

It was worth a laugh, especially the tiny hauler.

Do you have Multiplayer enabled? I ask because I'm wondering if that could be a side effect

Typically not, unless I'm in the Anomaly to pass some mats on to others.

Thats a scaling glitch. i had it a few times. I fixed it with Razer Cortex and using the speed booster.

I think that's what their original size was prior to the VR update. They're being upscaled.

I've seen that happen off and on when playing in multiplayer mode with friends, no mods. I think it's funny to see.

I started playing in 2017, most of the ships got larger in 2019. The original size ships weren't this small.

Good to see others have spotted this.

The hooped ship larger version is a standard scale one. I have one just like it.

I suppose it just appeared over sized because of all of the under sized ships around it. LOL
