I also like minifig scale, and use microfig scale only when I want something
depicted for which I lack the number of bricks, either practically (see also:
WTB: (2) 928 Galaxy Explorers) or fantastically (see also: Building your own
minifig scale Death Star).
Okay, I'll forget that form (like we really need it). Now that I think about
it, it's a lot like two space-traveling civilizations meeting for the first
time anyway: there are likely to be differences, sometimes huge ones. I guess
I'm just more of a peace-monger, and want to see everyone's worlds get along
without undesired wars popping up, instead of: "Here's a picture of Bill's
supership blowing Sam's fleet clear out of the cosmos. Here's a picture of Sam
being resentful. Here's a picture of Sam packing up his Lego bricks and
leaving."
Isn't this something like First Contact?
