How big will you be able to build in KSP2? A game theory

I don't know if there are official answers to this, I just thought it'd be fun to so some of my own research.

So, I recently found a compilation of released pre-alpha footage for KSP2 (here's the link) and I took the opportunity to look a little closer at some of the new parts that are going to be added. And it got me thinking, just what is the scale of those huge interstellar engines they showcased? Here is my estimate.

At about 3:10 in the video, a craft is shown orbiting an unknown planet (that I assume to be "Ovin," the super-earth planet mentioned on KSP's website.) What was notable about this clip is that we see some familiar parts: a cupola module stacked on top of two (old) 2.5m monoprop tanks. But behind these is a new part, which looks to me like some sort of extra-large command center. Using the 2.5m parts as reference, I estimate it to be between 5 and 7.5 meters in diameter.

While it's nice to see that there will be some more variety in the crewed parts in KSP2, what I want to know is the size of the massive fusion engine showcased in the trailer. Luckily, earlier in the video (at about 1:50,) we are not only shown a side-profile of an interstellar ship using the fusion drive, but also a close-up showing the same large command module I talked about earlier. So, using the power of pixel measurements, we can deduce the approximate size of several of the new parts.

My work in visual form. For scale, a Kerbal would be less than 2px tall in the bottom image. 5m estimate used, so measurements may be on the small side.

So, I suppose the scale of the engine shown in the trailer with the two Kerbals floating next to it was accurate. I hope you've enjoyed this journey, and hopefully, when KSP2 releases, we'll see how accurate I was.
