the sprite seems wonky when i zoom in and out, though maybe it's just me. It seems to grow and shrink at a very different pace from the spire ships around it.
I also noticed that the spire dreadnoughts do the same, so maybe it's just designed to do that. I suppose the ginormous sprite when zoomed out, and relatively small sprite when zoomed in (but before it switches to the detailed view) threw me off enough to think it was a bug.
