The system is more akin to the Japanese 'Yamato' and
other cartoon Sci=Fi programs.

I noticed the site's blurb mentioned an 'anime' feel; I
still am not sure what that means in rules. ;->=

I did notice several of the ships looked very close to the
Starblazer's look (the common name in the US). May fit
with the many small Bandai ships I have. Certainly better
than the Musashi ones, though I've plenty of those for fleets
with smaller scales.

Speaking of scales, you must realize there's more than
just the problem of shako's making 'top of head' difficult
to measure. In past ages, 6' tall was not as common as
currently, in some parts of the world. And, the Space
Marines were supposed to be towering monsters, in the
old sense.

Then the company made 'standard humans' about as tall.

Scale gets nastily bent in some sculptors' hands. Still,
it is a useful guideline, if not a dependable one.
