Plus STO fudged the scale of DS-9 anyway right from the start.
They made it a lot bigger so when 20 or 30+ player ships are around it, it doesn't disappear.

Yeah, though they did scale down DS9 a little bit a couple patches ago, but not by a lot.Plus STO fudged the scale of DS-9 anyway right from the start.

All the Starbases are scaled up, especially K7.
Shuttles are also scaled up so you can actually see/click on them in normal gameplay.
And the insides of everything are usually doubled or more in size so you can see where the character is going with the third-person camera and move around freely
Yeah that is true. Cameras are tricky things.
They have been reducing the size of canon areas when revamping/making new ones though, for example the new DS9 interior is only about 50% bigger from the set now instead of what it was before.
Although some players have been complaining it feels claustrophobic now because they were so used to the old one
, they seem to be a very small minority though.
But that was apparently from a book... So was the book wrong?
I really dislike the front of those nacelles.441 meters for the Cardenas, so EAS was wrong.
I wish they had just a little bit of 'roundness' to them.
EAS is wrong about a whole lot when it comes to DSC. And more's the pity, because I remember Bernd as a valuable and respected voice in online fandom from the time I first came into it, and his site has long been a wonderfully rich resource for a great many things. But beginning with ENT, his increasingly outright denial of each successive portrayal's validity has merely grown deeper and more headstrong...
Maybe the new TNG-related project will bring him around? I hope so. Come back, Bernd!

I dig the Cardenas in close-up. Those black swipes on the saucer, highlighting the pennant text, nicely echo the smaller dark arches on the rim of Kirk's saucer...
Very little there to establish scale. Not even a windshield! Might be the Cardenas is more like 120 meters tall after all. I mean, we got little in the Battle of the Binaries, and basically nothing on scale in the Mirror Universe. And the smaller, the better dramatically, for Lorca to make the jump so easily. And if crew size scales linearly with ship size, Lorca (in his bogus backstory, but possibly also in harsh reality) might have killed something like sixteen crew...

Also apparently the DSC Enterprise will be an XL model for any fans of the design.
Aside that I'm still content with DSC scaling choice thus far. Ships overall averaging about 475 meters (taking all of the "established" and estimated sizes).

Nice to see the TOS Font survived for this ship441 meters for the Cardenas, so EAS was wrong.
Those saucer rim windows have definitely changed:
