Oh, just that Liberty doesn't have the raw resources to construct huge lumbering shells of metal. While Rheinland does. Do you remember how NPCs on Oder shipyard whined about not having the technology for superconductors? Rheinland isn't as technologically advanced as Liberty and thus relies on bigger designs.
Though honestly speaking the current Liberty Carrier looks much more like a real Dread as in size and all than the original Liberty Dread. So I assume Liberty has the resources no?
Could you make a comparison of all Discovery capital ships (Dreadnoughts, Battleships, Carriers, Battlecruisers, Cruisers, Destroyers, Gunships and Gunboats) of all factions who have them. I always wonder how would they look next to each other.
Hell yeah! Exactly like that, perfect size for all the ships, that's it. That's how all of them actually should look compared to each other, great job!
I tired to put them in a relative order, carriers in the back followed by dreadnoughts and battleships then battle cruisers and finally cruisers. I might have added a gunboat there, i'm not sure, the rest of the gunboats i might add in another file if you want to see them. I also added the barge as a bonus.
Be advised, the file is huge it might take a long time or not load .
Hint: you can pan the view with right mouse click.
I hope developers don't want to rescale battleships. They are very keen on balance. Balance is good! But making all to be exactly the same is exaggerating. All factions have their distinctivenesses and uniques. Anyways nice to see differences in ship sizes.

Since I've been away from the game for a long time and I haven't keep an eye on the development:
1. What's the ship next to the AI Cruiser?
2. That thing near the barge is the Spyglass?
3. What's the ship behind the Necrosis?
4. The bretonian huge things? What are they? Dreadnought (the long one) and Carrier (the shorter one)?
5. I think you forgot the Kusari Battlecruiser.
6. Council Cruiser was different from the GRN one... or am I wrong?
I am on the phone right now, i will answer from memory.
1) Coalition cruiser
2) Yes
3) I think it's an LSF experimental cruiser, I'm not sure
4) The short one is the carrier prototype, the long one is the bretonian carrier available to players
5) I'm surprised i didn't forget more, milkshape can't open some files from discovery, it's a convulted mess with numerous cmp types, each made however the modeller saw fit
6) Could be, i added both council and grn variants because i don't know if they differ in any way other than the texturing.
