Ah, but size isn't important in a spaceship. Mass is.
Since this mod uses QNP, the KT "size" of a component is a measure of mass, not volume.
The Buckytube Gel is meant to be a replacement/upgrade for your ship's decks & walls. You won't actually be making the ship that much bigger, and it would acutally get lighter since you're using BT gel instead of solid tritanium (or whatever).
If you add hundreds of them on a little escort, yeah; it would probably look like a giant ball of snot, but you'd be hard pressed to shoot the bridge through all that goop!
It would still manoeuver like an escort though, since its mass has not increased substantially.
