I thought that, too, so I asked Oerjan about it, as I knew he used cm MUs. He explained that he mounts his ships at different heights. The larger ships are the tallest, then the medium sized ships, and then the small ships. It means that two large capital ships can't be too close together, but it alleviates some of the crowding.

I do agree with you that the miniatures are a bit big for centimetre scale. I don't have a lot of space in our apartment, which is the reason I hardly play FT anymore. Centimetre or half-inch scale would work best for me, but the miniatures are just too darned big. I don't see this problem of too little space ending soon (though rebasing my figures will help), which is why I've been vaguely considering getting out of FT altogether.
