Thanks, I was merely taking the view from the episode this is based on and enhanced it a little.

Awesome pic, and one of my favourite early TNG episodes (especially when Jean-Luc flies the Enterprise back to Spacedock, and that piece of music plays :D)

Thank you. Yes, mine, too, especially as you get to see a bit more of the ship (like an airlock)!

Thank you. Size always depends on the perspective. You could also say the planet is very big and the Enterprise also isn't exactly small. In the episode it seemed as if she barely fit through the space doors, so I wanted to give the same impression.
