There are very few RTS's that don't have that but still offer good gameplay, the titles I listed being a few of them.
I suppose the winning element is the camera's ability to zoom from a single strike craft to viewing the entire galaxy in seconds, that really allows the game to go large scale with the ships and fleets. There's also the complete movement freedom of the camera.
To be honest, I feel claustrophobic when I go from sins to other RTS games. I always try to zoom out as much as possible.

Frigates are some 500 to 1000m
Cruisers fit in between 1 and 2km
Cap ships average out at 4-5km
Titans Dwarf all other ships with a mighty 20km
Star bases... I have not measured yet, but they are gigantic.
