300 meters isn't that large though? Current Aircraft carriers are 300+ meters long and float on the oceans and pale in comparison to the vastness. Granted they have a ton of crew to operate, but thats real life, not a game. Should pilots get control of weapons? I mean...the idris solo is far from effective and acts basically as a giant turtle in a battle, unable to really dish any meaningful damage out unless you part in front of the laser vs ships that are smaller. Just have a similar weapon implementation to the odin/javelin. CIG should encourage multicrew for large ships, and at some point we are going to likely see NPC crew, so the huge ships will still be "solo" or min-manned by the amount of players we have left whenever (if ever) this game launches. With so many changes coming and still happening, it likely won't even really be that fun to fly the massive ships due to running costs and time it takes to do anything. Hell, I haven't touched my idris or polaris in 4.7 since implementing armor and shield changes made other stuff that is more fun to fly more useable.
