They were all cramped. It's one huge base-to-base connected mass.
I don't know about you, but if I have ships ranging from Mass 8 DDs to 
Mass 100 superdreddies on the board, I want some slight variation
in model size.

Not touching bases with the *enemy* I hope? That's my point. To bring a 
formation to close firing range, you're essentially fighting a melee in 
cm scale.
