OT: Starship size comparisons 1 pixel per meter
 

Hey, check out this page which has drawings of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Babylon 5 ships to scale, compared to real ships and buildings. There's the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, etc compared to Godzilla, Battlestar Galactica, Galaxy Class Starship, Omega Class Destroyer, Star Wars Space Slug, etc.

Each drawing is scaled to 1 pixel = 1 meter.

Wonderful site. I hope it adds even more stuff later. It's spiffy how you can drag the images around, too.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I hope so too. The omission of the Imperial Star Destroyer is a greivous oversight. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

[EDIT: I went looking for another size chart I found in my aimless wanderings over the web. Unfortunately, the host site has gone MIA. However, I kept a copy on my hard drive. It's only plain black silhouettes, but it offers more ships, including the Borg Cube and the absolutely necessary Imperial Star Destroyer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I'd gladly give the original artist credit, but I have no clue who he or she was.]

COOOOOOOOL!

Esp. the drag-around feature.

Disappointing how he didn't include the death star. hehe, maybe thats a bit off-scale.

I think the SSD falls into that Category too - 8km if memory serves. the ISD is completely manageable though, its, er, um 1400m?

And B5, about the same, 5 mi.

Interesting, the current total length is something close to pi miles. (at the longest ~5.5 km)

edit: nope, the ISD is 1600m. but the SSD is 8km.

edit edit: Thanks for the silhouette one. I like the borg part. :b

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's hard to believe that the Borg Cube is that much bigger then the Intrepid class ship (Voyager) Just a rough guess would be that the Cube is over 500 times bigger then the Intrepid. And Voyager beat how many of those cubes without being destroyed?!?
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif I can see the Cube being like 50-100 times bigger but gees. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

I generally have little or no interest in TNG ships, but it looks like the two sites disagree about the relative sizes of TNG Fed Galaxy ships and TNG Rom Warbirds.

And ya, I want to see the Imperial Star Destroyer on the flashy site, too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Oh, and I think King Kong is smaller than in the films, not to mention the "vs. Godzilla" films. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I think they got his size from the origninal movie, probably from his scale against the empire state building. Wait, no, you're right, he has to be bigger! that size definitely cannot swat planes. Of course, maybe I should actually watch the original, rather than going by the poster art, which is probably exaggerated.

I can't move anything around on that site. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

And Romulan warbirds are a lot larger than Federation Galaxy Class ships (something like 2-3x as large).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That is from Babylon Trek Wars. I can't seem to find any mention of the author...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, that was the site. Did it move? The only link I have to it is defunct.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">BTW had another size chart for the bases (Death Stars I and II, B5, etc). I just didn't download it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif
