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

edit edit: hehe, right, i just saw the quote button on the main view.

Plus they ought to add Red Dwarf.

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

Go to this page:

Hehehe

I can re-enact the Hindinburgh disaster on this page...

Ok, so it's the Hindinburgh crashing on Cloud City...

Wow, an Imperial Star Destroyer is really big.

What's up with that Romulan Warbird or Deridex or something? Isn't it too big?
I don't remember them to be that big in Bridge Kommander.

I made Kong climb the Empire State Building.

Is it there any chance that the kts in SE4 may be also taken as the lenght?

If a 500 kt Cruiser would also be 500m long, then we would be closer to sci-fi mainstream......

May be not a length, but a volume certainly. After all, when we speak about ship displacement it is in fact a measure how much water do we need to sink her

Certainly, it can not be water for starships. May be vaccum ?

It does have non-zero "zero" density after all !

Actually, the Executor class IS about the same size as the Eclipse. See these pages for details:
