Ship crews either spend most of their journey in their escape pods, and are awoken with adrenaline only as needed?(Source: The Burning Life novel by CCP Abraxas.) or live aboard ship much like ship's crews today? (Source)

preferred the crysis one to the ones you linked, it gives a much better sense of scale

A ship in harbour is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

I liked how these were a lot more polished, but they could have put people or other items to give scale later in the video.

I think it'd be neat if we could get some pictures of the ships over major cities and things, but as it is, having the island gives you a definite sense of scaling, you realize...oh, my gods...that thing is massive.

I saw someone make images from Google earth or something with ships to scale hovering over the cities. There was some debate on whether or not the scale was accurate, but I'm unsure. It was just 2D on 2D though, and not all too impressive.
