I think it would be a good idea, but, you would also have to halve thruster and "normal" speed (halve everything except cruise, or travelling will be come boring). Also raise weapons speed by a fixed percentage. That should do the trick.
Leave planets, asteroids, gates, and lanes as they are tho. The game enigine was made for small ships, and keeping those same size will make it easier for larger ships. Rescale stations to 1/2 or 2/3 size.
I think then it would be great.
Even collisions with npcs will become less frequent.
Devs should seiously give this a thought.
Also cut all prices in half, or reduce to 25%, so the 1.89 billion limit screws up less people.

If you are able to read and write the models, a script could do the whole thing in one go.
