Me too. Micro fig is an excellent scale to work with, but to me, it's all
about detail. Personally, I think it is much more difficult to make a large
minifig scale capitol ship actually look decent and functional at the same
time, because you get caught up in the structure and always are at a lack of
pieces. I am always having the tough challenge of pulling this sort of
thing off. This is even harder when your fighters are large, and they have
to dock inside the capitol ship. Anyone can say anything about a micro fig
scale ship because the internal guts are all in the imagination. If you
want true detail, minifig is where it's at. Unless, of course, the micro fig
scale ship is monsterous in size, like Mark Sandlin's carrier. That one is
a beauty.
Right now I can barely scrape the surface of functionality, let alone
coolness. I end up choosing plane-looking functionality over something that
kicks a**. My solution: Build bigger! Big. BIG!!! moohahaha!!!
