That's actually kind of realistic. We're spoiled by not-to-scale media depictions of solar systems. In the real universe, you have to be really close to something (on an astronomical scale), for it to show as disk rather than just another point of light.

This is an excellent observation.
That's because Pluto is waaaaaaaaaay the **** out there 
Oh, and CapnQ, all 4 of the links in your sig are broken, including the first one, to PBW. And I just checked to be sure PBW is up

We can argue about what's realistic in 2400+ starships but of course it's all fiction. All the above would be true if we were arriving in a space shuttle.... but I am thinking starships are starting with more advanced scanner/sensor technology that we have at the moment.
Anyway, glad to see we can turn it off if we don't like the game play aspects of it.
