There are no really large ships
X3 AP and TC had really large ships. I hope we get some of those.

Yeah you can keep flying out and it'll keep zooming out with you. You'll find ships flying about out there too.... for some reason

thats ridiculous my corvette is huge absolutely enormous and you can fly a collossus or a paranid zeus play a bit more before jumping off the cliff of assumption into the sea of stupidity

Well that explains why my map is glitched to hell and all resized, the teleport glitch kept porting me 90+km out then back in and I'd manage to save and restart to fix the constant teleporting. Second flashpoint looks like I put a single satellite down then left and Grand Exchange III is completely fudged, every station icon while zoomed out is on top of each other.

Yes. Yes they are. X3 still has much bigger ships. X Stillborn has much bigger ships.
The largest ship in X Stillborn are M2. Split Raptor (scaled down), Arawn, Fulmekron.
X4 max'es out at M7 ranged ships. Thats right. Those XL ships are mear frigates.

Need Proof? There is a Ship Grave yard (forget the regions name) that is filled with Split Raptors and Paranid Odysseus that are TWICE the size of what we've got to work with.

I think the big problem here is that most people have forgotten just how damn big those ships in X3 actualy are. Since we tend to spend most of our time flying around IN those big ships rather than the tiny fighters.

Also, WHY the ♥♥♥♥ does a corvet need a hanger?! I dont like that in Star Citizen. I dont like that here even more.

It'd be nice if hangers were optional ship customizations and if docking fighters actually worked as intended. If we could control and set sector taxes and have our own wars with the factions that ended with a flag of our choice floating on an asteroid around the sun with my smiling face symbol. However it's an X# game that's our reality, not having a nifty end game or a ton of bigger ships right away, and it's better than rebirth was at the start so I'll take it as is for now and I have faith that they will improve it enough that i'll buy the expansions.

I've made some screenshots for you guys, docked there is a normal fighter S class. The ship is the Behemoth. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1581921611

And those little M6's in that size comparison are now the M ships you think are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ large. The M6 is a corvette not nerly as small as a fighter.

The other thing I like about the scale of the ships and the setup is the surface elements and the gravity well thingy really makes em feel huger. Never had a dog fight ON a capital in x3, just near it.

A cap bridge. Not mine, Argon fleet in Argon prime. Was looking for a good captain for my scout ship and found one, 3 star, with 4 star piloting.
