Yeah it'll be a flop to me personally if they crap out on scale... I'm ok if fighters are absolutely TINY miniatures. Like smaller than a figure. Anything to keep the scale right in my book. It'll suck if the SSD is half its appropriate size to accomodate larger "small" minis like fighters and such.
This is what makes me curious about the Starship game, as the SSD is big even in its mistake "official" dimensions. An actual scale one would be 17.8 km long or so... Dwarfing other capital ships, it'd be a playing field unto itself almost I'd think. Gaming with miniatures, to me at least, was always about having a realistic battlefield layed out... Scale of a tank was matched to a trooper on the field and visa versa. I just dread this game making concessions on some craft's size then because starships can get outrageously huge. Of course, the SSD is kind of on the far end of large ships of course, but I'd still prefer scale or don't do an SSD mini.
