Ship sizes
So I found a random commander flying a cutter and we were talking a lot about the future of this game and ship sizes.

The commander told me the ships are a lot larger than you think, well how large?

He told me a cobra is about a size of a large house, the cutter is even larger than teh playboy mansion. HOLY ♥♥♥♥ WE FLY WAR SHIPS!

The cutter dude grabbed his courier and we checked the size difference between his courier and my clipper. Lot larger than I though.

So if the cobra has a size of a house, how big are the other ships?

Wait, how long you have been playing the game without even looking at your ship? Of course they are huge!

Edit: Can't get the youtube link to work, so here's his channel, he has a few ship size comparisons, but the most recent is the 1.5 comparison from 1 month ago

The Cobra Mk.III is larger than an average house, with a width of 44m (144ft)

An Eagle, what we normally consider to be a very small fighter is really the size of a smallish passenger airliner, specifically, it has almost the same dimensions as an Airbus A318: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A320_family#Specifications

An Imperial Cutter, at a whopping 192.6m in length is over 630 feet, longer than 2 Football fields (American or otherwise) combined, and at 111m wide it's also wider than the width of 2 combined.

If you think about it, even the little Sidewinder can fit tons of cargo. Along with a hull, thrust and FSD.

I wanna go buy an airbus now...
Creators of Airbus might not have it intended as space cruiser. Or so they tell us...
