\'Starship Dimensions\' Have you all seen this site?
 
http://www.merzo.net/index.html

See the Ringworld and Dyson Sphere under the "Big" tab!

Quote: "The charts are intended to be interactive such that Internet explorer users may click and drag the starships within the charts to arrange them in whichever way they please. I am working on incorporating the same feature for Netscape and other web browser users. The site is very Graphics intensive by nature and therefore is targeted towards a higher bandwidth connection (DSL, etc). It will likely bog down dialup connections."

Some links FROM this site under Dyson Sphere:

Haven't seen that site for awhile. I think I have a comparison picture from it somewhere. I was surprised to find a picture of a Zardalu. I made one up for a SE4 game a few years ago and it didn't quite look the same but you can tell they were from the same description.

Haven't been here in quite some time. don't think this site had ringworld and dyson spheres last time.

Thanks for the remind of this very cool site.

They need some ships from the more obscure universes.

Kind of gives you an idea of just how stupidly huge a ringworld really is.

First, there were three-story buildings. Then, there were castles. After that were high-rises. Next came skyscrapers. After that will probably be arcologies. Next, orbitals. Then, I forget the name, but you carve a planet into a whole bunch of habitats. After that, ringworlds. Then, Dyson Spheres/Sphereworlds (Not the same thing). Then - I forget the name - But you enclose an entire galaxy in a shell.

No idea what comes after that, but we don't think of three-story buildings as 'big' any more - And castles are just moderately tall.

The mind changes to encompass the environment.
