scaling and distance

[cy414]

thought i would make some ships from different scifi using 1:1 ingame. thought to myself "ok, i'l pick something smallish to start/practice on" so looked up a few trek ships, since they are commonly in the 200 to 500 meter beam range.(a defiant or b'rel)

only to realise that they would either be unworkably small if i used the games ideas of meters/kilometers, or utterly hugh mungus if i use the build menus measurment of "1".

 

any advise for what constitutes good scaling ingame for this type of thing?

1 unit in the build menu is 10 metres.

 

1:1 scale works very nicely for most things.
