if hit box will get smaller, as stated in dev logs, will it be harder to hit node at range and will it also be harder to trick to crash in planet?

Yes and yes,
though I would replace "Harder" with "Less stupidly easy"

Even with a smaller hitbox, Nodes are still the size of a small planet. You're not going to have any trouble hitting them.

There a STATION! They will be easy to hit, there just scaling it to what it should be in relation to the size of the model.

Exactly, the ship was scaled down in size from the original, the hitbox was never adjusted... We all remember how big it used to be:

The developers are obviously biased in favour of the synthetic genocide machines, giving them such a huge boost like that. I mean, come on, that's going to reduce our odds of hitting from, like, 99.999% to 99.9%. That's a decrease of more than 0.099%! Clearly unacceptable.

instead of reducing there size, why not put the old model back? Someone should have it floating out there amongst the Internets. Would be cooler then making there size smaller, they are almost smaller then there own dreads (model wise). Putting it back would make it more stationy and more epic of a kill.
