Building a ship with prefabs was a solution that I came up with. It was so easy with Space Engineers; it was just made up of premade blocks. It was easy and fast. But with DU, that is not that simple. Since then, I've been building blocks I can use with copy-paste.
But one thing is that everything looks smaller than it is when working from the first-person perspective. As you can see from the screenshot, you will make things bigger than needed. This corridor block can easily be used for a capital ship but not for smaller buildings.
Another fact is that the ships are not big. If you build cubes, then yes, they have a lot of space, but in length, they are small, laughable small.
Here are the numbers in length:
XS = 15.75 meters
S = 31.75 meters
M = 65.75 meters
L = 127.75 meters
and XL would probably be 255.75 meters
The M version is a small Boeing 747, not even the biggest one.
The XL (if it would be possible in DU) would probably compare to an old carrier ship. The modern ones are longer.
