A simple suggestion, increasing the sizes of the goliath by around 15% of what it is now and the trident by 20% of what it is now. I think current capships are sort of small and a increase in size would make them truly epic to witness for the first time by new players and for older players would show them as a presence to witness (IMO). My size increase suggestion would keep them small enough to enter current capship docking bays (I think)

If we assume, for the sake of argument, that there will be other player-owned capships at some point, isn't it reasonable that we have some variation in size? That there be some natural progression from say (earth analog) a small speedboat, to a bigger sailboat, to big power yacht, to a research vessel, to a container ship, to a bulk carrier, to a cruise ship, to an aircraft carrier? Ie.. a whole spread of different sizes?

I understand the notion of wanting to impress newbies, but the actual intent was for there to be a greater diversity of sizes (and types). Obviously, it's taken a lot longer to pull together the other parts of the game to make larger player-ships more relevant, along with more art assets, but I still think there's value in pursuing that as a goal.

I think the OP also wanted to include the other capital ships, but I might be wrong.

A simple scaling probably wouldn't really look that good anyway, textures would be stretched, and it might look low res.

Fair enough. Just throwing ideas out there

I am in favour of embiggening the goli at least. It's both annoying and immersion breaking to have to literally jam a moth thru the docking bay.

Hell, the TTM could use a slightly larger docking bay too for that matter, though it's much less of an issue with docking.

Ramming speed Mr Scott

yes docking a Moth in a Goliath is a chore

and Goliath does mean Giant after all
