* [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: Very carefully averted. The actual models are [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|completely out of scale with the rest of the game]], distances being measured being from the centre of the ships' bases so that you can have nice looking miniatures without also requiring a spare country to play the game in. Base-contact in the game is "close range", generally of the order of ''tens of thousands'' of kilometres. This is also the reason you need a command check to ram another ship - the captain not only has to order a potentially suicidal course of action and make it stick with the crew, he also has to hit a target equivalent to headbutting a pinhead from a mile away...
