N3rull, I suggest you download Neowborg's (did I spell 'is name right?) Mesh Resize Tool from JasonFJ's SW Requiem site.

My suggestion would be to-

increase the zoom on all the ships in their entity files. Make the ships smaller, (and so that caps are big, SBs are really big, but planets are HUGE). At the same time, since the meshes are smaller, it will look like they are bigger (in some ways), and that planets are the monstrous space objects they truly are.

Alternately, make things BIGGER. Sometimes BIGGER really is BETTER.

if you don't want to do it yourself, I'm sure that another modder would do it for you. I may do it myself.

No.

Just no.

No space bugs.

Ever.

Fascinating!

Ya ok Star fleet commander what ever you say .....BTW when was the last time you were in space, in a boxy structure, with a stress monitoring device taking stress point readings while browsing the internet and writing posts mis-spelling concentration ....... hmmmm

 Go back to your loom weaving, horse driving cart back water chanty. ok

why do u have a pic of a scooter?

Dude, please, do not try to do science in English when you don't really know English.

1. If you're in a spaceship, you want to breathe. To breathe, you need Earth-like atmospheric pressure. That's a force that affects the hull from inside. It is much more easily contained when the ship is cylindrical.
2. When you want to make a big tough object (a space battleship), it is best to make it round - the hull is more solid, incoming blows from every direction need to get through a lot of plating to get deep inside the chassis, which is where the people would want to be. Away from incoming damage.
3. Mark 48 torpedoes show why long and thin objects are a shitty idea for warships to look like.
4. That 90 second recovery is a good joke, true for Cockroaches maybe. Link to some data to back it up or stop spreading stories, you've watched too much Superman. If you're thrown into vacuum, your eyeballs blow up, your lungs would be ripped out of your chest through your mouth, your blood would blow your veins, you brain would geyzer out of your ears and your shit would fly out like you had the worst diarrhea case in the recorded history of medicine.
5. Apollo Lunar Module was not a warship. The creators didn't expect meteors hitting it, didn't have too much knowledge about space radiation either.

Go throw yourself into open space, see what happens.

There's a huge difference between having air slowly sucked out of your suit and being directly exposed to space void.
People had a number of thories in the history of science.
Until NASA throws a naked kid out of the window of a space shuttle, grabs and pulls him back inside 90 seconds later and that kid won't end up as a vegetable, I'll be convinced.

And yet people CAN make frigates look like they're BIG.

Look at this picture:

This is a Marine Frigate in Homeworld 2. Poor graphics aside (this game is whaa... 8 years old?), this ship looks big. All those tiny details, tiny bridge on its side, the general 'bulkyness'. Reskin it a little bit and it might be TEC's new battlecruiser.

And yet, this picture:
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/3677/marinefrigvsmothership.jpg
Shows how that Marine Frigate compares to a hiigaran Mothership.

It's not the lack of human crew waving their hands at you from windows that blows the the scale. It's the abundance of details that look like a racecar's sideskirts, not a massive cruiser's plating, that screw the feeling.

Many many ships share this. Yes they are unique, yes they're different, but no, they don't look like massive cruisers or something.

Calm down, the torpedo is an American product

I get it. But don't feel too bad. 
If I tried that, it would sound like:

"Yay, Polish forces bombarded a civilian town in Iraq!"
"Yay, Polish soldier died in Afghanistan"

Very impressive indeed.

i'm not so sure that sins ships were intended to be huge. just look at the crew sizes given in the manual. the kol battleship has a crew complement of 2,500. a modern carrier has a complement of more than twice that! and the kodiak has a crew of less than 475

agreed... sometimes though, you have to give things up to the "Rule of Cool" and Poetic Licence...

i know its easily changed, but nowadays with the current speed of ships etc, making things bigger just slows the game down by heaps... i play with Distant Stars and other mods that increase planet sizes to be more realistic... and oh man... its like watching a girl grow a beard...

also... if we boost ship sizes much larger, it will be hard to see lots of ships at once... massive fleets will take up much more physical space, and bleh, it gets complicated (and im tired so im not going to go into it...)

basically, we can either get over it and leave it as it is, or we need to rehaul and rebalance the game for scale...

but yeah, i do agree, Sins is supposed to be epic, so...

If frigates looked like shrinked akkans or dunovs, not like boats or scooters, they would really feel big.
All you need is a proper model with a generally bulky look and a number of tiny details that a person will think "hmm.. okay, if this tiny little thing over here is an antenna, then this ship is....". When you give ships antennas that are a third as high as the ship is long... the ship instantly looks like a car with SB radio mounted and not like a massive spaceship anymore.

Whatever floats your boat ^^'.
