Yeah, I noticed the same thing in my games. Strangly, the earlier version didn't do this to the ships, the large ships were large, and the tiny ships were... tiny.

Yes, it does take away from the experience, it wipes out my entire gameplaying mojo when I see my huge ship turned into a "mini-me".  

Huh? I have v1.5, and it shows up as DL, not DA.

Or are there two different 1.5's a DA and a DL, or am I missing something?

Also, yes, stationary battles might actually turn out looking better than the current ones where the ships ram each other and form this blob.... which is just..... uncool.=/

It would work like this, the ship move toward each other, the ships that are a medium class or above find a spot and shoot from there, the small ships, move moderatly fast and shoot stuff and the tiny fighters do really cool manuevers, and shoot stuff.

Now that........ would be cooooooooool.  

ooooooooooooh this would be cool........
if u have a huge ship................and there was a module for a hangar =D..............where u could store your tiny ships! =D.............and when ur in a fleet battle............THEY FLY OUT!!!!=D!!!!

So what earlier version didn't do this? Regular 1.0?

The invasion battles aren't stationary, the troops just ram and pass right through each other.

Tiny ships flying out of the larger ships would be cool too. especially if there were a intro scene to every battle that shows them flying out! The only problem is that there aren't that many people who will go around using tiny sized ships when a medium or large, even small, would be more advantagious. I rarely use tiny fighters. I think the logistics system should be messed with a little, and balanced out so that there are more stratagies to making a fleet than, get the biggest most heavily armed ships I have in there, i.e. the large and huge hulls. Like the tiny fighters should be EVEN cheaper, have more space, or use less logistics. This way tiny fighters can have advantages.

If I could mod my GCtypes.xml file without the game crashing (kryo, help?), I would change the logistics system myself.

Oh well, I still think stationary battles would be cooler than the blob battles we have now.

just my 2 cents. (and five $)

ships sizes and movement have been adjusted a few times IIRC, though i can't remember in what ways for what versions (you could review the extensive dev logs if you have a burning curiosity).

my guess is they recycled some old code and didn't notice this particular behavior - i haven't, but by the time i'm using large ships i've generally stopped using small and tiny (in games where i actually get there).

I also don't like how they wobble, it looks really stupid. The bigger ships I mean. Its really visible with some of the Large sized Terran hulls, the really long ones that are like the 'Horizon' from the movie Horizon.

probably, but I checked it alot and even re-wrote some of it but it still crashed the moment I started a game.

Thanx. never tried that...   

Anyway, I just re-did my logistics system, I'm going to test it soon and fix stuff, expect a logistics mod in the library soon.

So the ship scaling during battles was fixed in v1.6 and above?

You could add enough jewelry to your ships to make them much larger in size. That is waht I generally do. I agree that the difference is still lacking the epic feel it needs though.
