When I play sins I tend to play zoomed out - and this makes all ships to be icons instead of 3d icons. This makes me miss out on the amazing graphics. In order to see 3d ships - I have to zoom way too close  to have any kind of strategic awareness. I know it's not the case for most people as I have a 30 inch screen - and I can't really benefit from more visibility.

I would like to propose a few things.

1. Set the icon vs 3d model zoom switch distance configurable - for each ship type - titan, capital ship, corvette etc.

2. Scale (similar to UI scale) the titans and capital ships as you zoom out. Come up with some prioritization system based on number of ships and type. They are important and should be more visible. I think an oversized capital ship would look great - and as you zoom in you scale it back to comparable size.

Basically if I have high end hardware - I would like to see more pretty things
