Simple mod question.

from Sins Forums
Before I begin, I will tell you I am not planning to mod this game at the moment. I do have modding experience(Crysis and Far Cry). Anyways, is it possible to have a more realistic scale of ships to planets and suns? It seems that the planets are almost the same size as the sun and ships are pretty large to planets compared to what, realisticly, be. And the term "gas giants" just doesn't fit in the game, seeing how the gas giants are the same size as normal terran planets. Howabout a huge MASSIVE sun in the middle of a galaxy? And have Planets the the size(at the least) of gravity wells now? Even than it would be small. Howabout some moon colonies? A higher tier upgrade could be moon colonization for and added 100 population and 5 extra logistic/tactical slots. I just want to see a more epic, space feeling in the game than currently(which is amazing).

PS. How do I access pictures I take ingame?

All models can be resized using a 3D editing software like 3DSMax or XSI.

Do note however, that planets and stars have an animated effect (cloudlayer for planets and surface motion for stars) which seems hardcoded size-wise and is lost when the models are resized.
