When you look at that it's hard to imagine how a Herc II can possibly load more secondary ordnance than a Loki. Overall :v: seems to have paid a bit more attention to this in FS1 than in FS2, at least for the Terrans.

This is even more funny when you compare the fighter scales to those of, say, a Trebuchet missile. Those are almost half as big as the Herc II. :lol:

The ships don't need to bee properate.
First it has to look good. So the spartan in Halo is that big because it gives a good gamply feeling.

But it would be a nice project to make some ships and missiles properate.
Just too test and if ist's looking good it would be something for the next MVPs.

Admittedly, not such a super huge difference.

I'm convinced that Ursas have to have a mini-bar tucked in there.
