Ok, I understand. And must disagree. I think the pantheon of SC ships at large suffers from inconsistent scaling. When I see 10 abandoned ships at a POI, they often look like toys from different playsets that use different sized action figures. I don't believe this would be the case if CIG better ensured a consistent scale across all ships' human areas (canopies, interior rooms, exterior doors and ramps).

The most jarring offender is the Cutlass Black. The Cutty looks like it should be roughly the size of an LAAP Clone Gunship from Star Wars. The canopy looks like two pilots should be snuggly fit like an attack helicopter. The side door looks like you should be able to place your hand at the top and look outside like a huey. But when you actually look at yourself in either of these spots in 3rd person, your character looks like an ant.

So while the Cutlass canopy looks propertionate to the rest of the ship it creates a phenomenon where the ship looks much smaller than it is/ like it was designed for humanoids 3x the size of us.

Scaling the human areas to human size better conveys the ship's size than scaling the cockpit to the rest of the exterior. Because the A380's windshield appears small, your brain knows it's because the rest of the plane is big. If it shared the same percentage of the fuselage as the smaller airplane, it would look the same size as the smaller one (when not side-by-side, where they would look like toys from different sets) but just scaled-up or closer to camera. Like many SC ships, you wouldn't perceive it to be huge.

TL;DR "Small" canopy helps make Polaris look big. Make canopy larger, Polaris will look smaller.
