Okay, so one thing that I miss in a space games is the absence of colossal capital ships. And not in a way that requires you to picture little people next to ti to make it seem big- not in the meta-game kind of way. I mean a real, visual, apparent sense of scale.
This is not a statement about this game, but I feel the latest trailer for EvE Online: Valkyrie displays exactly what I mean. Toward the end of the demo, a Titan class ship appears. This is scale:

Also note how other ships are seen huge from the player's perspective.
My suggestion is to introduce such colossal ships in Elite as well. Bigger than the capital class. What do you think?
P.S.: I realize that the ship flown in the above demo is a tiny craft compared to player ships in Elite, and that therefore the current capital class ships are huge in their own right, however I really wish for there to be just almost impossibly huge ships in the game as well, the kind that would boggle the mind even without realizing that even your current ship is huge.
