Yes I do, it all works.
If you look into steam, there are my mods also.
This mod here is looking old, but it works.

Is this link working for you?

You could use then "xOrbit" and "Ships_n_Weaps_S"
The one makes the orbits better, the other one makes ships and weapon effects smaller.

Here I have made a Video where you can see it.
Unfortunately, I have tuned down the ingame sounds so you will not here anything of that. Just my voice :-)

This thought occurred to me when I was first landing on the Dhayt planet to conquer and troop transports came so close to the surface and drop the pods. And when the pods began to approach the surface, Dhayyt air defence begin to shoot them down on the way. It was so epic and cinematic to me, to watch the battle in low orbit that i realized the great potential of this wonderful game to became true star of 4x games. If it was possible to give the player to experience low orbit battles and planet invasions more closely, it would be very addicting to me and i I guess not only me.) As I myself, have never had such a great experience before in 4x games!
Could you explain this a bit more and talk about it or even make some more screenshots of it?
It is very interesting to hear that you could dive into the game.
The time you wrote this, I was very intreted bt did not see a possibility.
Now I could try it out a bit more, but I do not understand where the ships were attacked. You mean in orbit while some pods were going through the atmoshpere?
There are I think possibilities to change the atmoshpere and the height of the mountains.
I could write an extra tool that takes care of that. Then you could yourself find the best values for that.
