I guess it's possible but you're looking at years down the line from now.
FDev has a 10+ year roadmap laid out, maybe enormous ships are somewhere on there. Although I kind of doubt it since it would give people who owned the biggest ships an insurmountable combat, trade and exploratory advantage over absolutely everybody else.

thoes are corvette's though, which is a "boat" class, Frigate, would be "Ship" class, and i would be fine if it would be the only one.

because the flight model for this game uses boat class flight. Ship class would be a completely different game like Star Trek Bridge Crew and would be about as exciting as watching paint dry.

its like a space ship FPS.

I do wish we had space legs already though.

I would like to see bigger player ships too. Maybe make them playable in 3rd person. Automate the guns to balance the power. The accuracy of the guns could be dictated by swapping out Ai packages. Small guns could hit smaller ships, but bigger guns would only be able to hit other big ships. Instead of docking with stations, you'd just park at like 8km. Frigates and destroyers were mentioned, but I'd like a carrier with a full squadron of medium fighters.

some very very big ships will be in for the last update for this year which can be owned by clans only

I feel like space legs would be a very short lived novelty. I would rather see them implement some actually interesting gameplay.

just a thought if they go bigger would they still fit through the letter box entry point on stations?

the biggest ship to fit in is the Type-10 Defender
nothing bigger that it can nor will fit in

[Flying Fish]

Frigates would be rly cool maybe in the far future tied to max rank in the empire and federation destroyers might be a but too much tho what would the hardpoints of a destroyer be? Like 12 huge ones and 4 massive ones maybe add another 36 medium ones that would be op af

Seems like they would have to add too much content to make the size work with stations, etc. (And from their track record of bare bones expansions, that is a huge NO).
