Well it isn't from B5, Star Trek or Star Wars, so would not make any sense for it to be in the Babylon Trek Wars size comparison charts.

Of course, maybe I should actually watch the original, rather than going by the poster art, which is probably exaggerated.

In terms of size, it seems more like "Mighty Joe Young" than King Kong (Am I showing my age now... )

Hi, I did some searching around and found out that the 1 pixel = 1 meter page was actually only one page out of a whole collection with other scales. (10 pixel = 1 meter, 2 pixels = 1 meter, 10 meters per pixel, 100 meters per pixel and 2000 meters per pixel.)

And the bigger ships like the Death Star, Super Star Destroyer, etc, are all here!

Those are way off for the Eclipse vs. the SSD - the eclipse is 17500m and the SSD is 8000m, yet they are shown as basically the same size.

Er, when quoting people, is there some handy-dandy feature to quote them and preserve links and stuff, or do you just search through the source HTML and cut and paste that between two quote tags?

edit: oops, sorry, double post

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

Er, click on the -2000x scale button...

Plus they ought to add Red Dwarf.
And I didn't see the little fighters from Battlestar Galactica.
