Elite Dangerous: True Scale

Thats a really nice video @SenseiMatty - the wobbly "walking" along beside the handrail adds to the immersion.

For a sense of scale of any of the big ships, land on a planet and drive an SRV around them, its quite humbling being next to an Anaconda's landing gear where the landing pads / "feet" are bigger than your SRV. Without being in VR, even with the SRV experience, there is always a disassociation with scale of the game, whereby it feels like the CMDR's figures and the vessels were made to different scales. I used to comment it looks like the ships were modelled for lego technic figures, but they use normal lego minifigure sized cmdr's.

For example it would be far too easy to presume that the cockpit of an eagle would be similar in proportions and size to that of a modern fighter jet, but instead its about the size of a speedboat's bridge. I also used to think that the bridge on a cutter was about the size of a cockpit on a boeing 737 or an airbus a320 - when in actual fact once you are in VR you see that its about the size of a bridge on a frigate.
