Dragons are only small to make the some missions of the game difficult. There was no 'how can a Shivan sit into it?' question front of the eyes of the authors.

Making a game difficult is always beating logics. :ick

This was mentioned for many ocassions.
Once again we have to say that the Dragon's actually big enough to fit a Shivan - the looks are deceiving.
A Shivan would be as big as the whole canopy on an Apollo - but' that's still small enough to fit into a Dragon.
Beside who said they had to fit in - maybe they're suffed in...the legendary Dragon pilots, who beside their small armor - even put up with little space in the cocpit and surgical reduction of their inherent armor...sounds like a good enough explanation.

Buddy, the Dragon is as big as a house!  11 m * 6 m * 16 m = 33' * 18' * 48'.  Fitting a single Shivan into such a spacious volume would hardly be difficult.
Sesqu... Sesqui... what?

So what the hell is the smallest ship? The Loki? The Pegasus?

actually, its the dragon IIRC.

Note: that the dragon is twice as big as most Star Wars fighters.

Again bringing up the point that one of the best modifications the SCP cpuld do for the SW TC would be to fix the apparent size of ships in-game... I want the Orion to look big! :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

More detailed textures, bump-mapping, more-poly models based on current textures.

The Realisation project started it a while back...wonder what they managed so far.
Bump-mapping is very far away if what the SCP guys tell is true - and they're always right about this kinda stuff.
I think it's up to modellers/skinners.

I saw a very good Hecate/Collosus reskin - with lots of windows.
With glow-mapping they seemed indeed huge!

Actually, check the art forum for a post by Deep_eyes. It should be near the top.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
