Sorry to say but you got it all wrong, without a banana there is no scale

There is banana inside the cockpit. Can't you see it?

I believe your picture actually hurts your argument. You would have been better off posting a pic from inside the cockpit facing and locked on the star to show the distance between you and the star. Then go to any large planet and take a picture at the same distance. This effect is especially noticeable when comparing a Supergiant star to even a extremely large Gas giant planet.

Those pic were taken few seconds before the first one.
How about now?

So what you are saying is that your Eagle is as big as the Earth?

If I could zoom out entirely then you wouldn't even see it... Read again...

Basically if you want the full scale of the game you should play in VR. Once you see how big the Vulture's Bridge is it will blow your mind.

Using a normal monitor I can see the points about scaling being an issue, however, when I play in VR the sense of scale is astonishing. Stars are frighteningly large, even the entry to a stations seems enormous.

Hello Commanders.
People often say that there is no visible scale in Elite Dangerous...
Well I disagree. Below you can see my Eagle scooping a star...
Couldn't move the camera farther away...
You see the scale now?

Are you sure that this is not a dead pixel on your screen ?

I did play this in VR and you are right. This game i meant to be played in VR.
