    I'm not sure if anybody else has seen this, but thought I'd post it for those of the community who like to build to scale or who just want to know. I often use it to check out the comparison to my other fav Sci-Fi ships.

    I only know the auther is DirkLoechel and they make regular updates.

    Size Comparison - Science Fiction Spaceships

    Enjoy!

    Or the Tardis as one person pointed out it's the most important ship missing. Lol.
    [doublepost=1470975499,1470975313][/doublepost]By the way, the Defiant is in there. :)

    Someone with a lot of time in their hands could make a StarMade version comprised of popular community content builds. ;)

    I could most certainly try... provided I can get the GreenScreen mod working first xD

    You just turn off procedural background and replace the space pngs with a full neon green png.

    I got the green screen to work, so I've actually started work on a SM version of that comparison chart. Getting the relative sizes of each ship exact and in scale to each other is proving to be tricky though, but I'm managing fine. I'm leaving out replica ships, since they're not original work.

    I'd say have one or two replicas for comparison.
    Actually yeah, thinking about it more it seems logical to see how our ships compare with actual sci-fi universes. I think I'll add a Star Trek Constitution-class (289m/305m) and Galaxy-class (642m), and perhaps an Imperial-II Star Destroyer (1600m) from Star Wars. That should be enough to establish a comparison.

    Found it! Directly below the Galaxy class on the far right side. Look for the big yellow ball. Then go all the way to the right of the image. Then go down a bit. The Defiant is nothing but a sliver. If you reach Nero's Ship from J.J. Abram's Star Trek, then you've gone too far down.

    Or the Tardis as one person pointed out it's the most important ship missing....
    The reason the Tardis is missing is because the artist set a limit range of 100m-24km. Here is their reasoning for the dismissal of the Tardis:
    "Q: And where's TARDIS?
    "A: It's both too large and too small for the chart."

    I love the first reason. It is too large (> 24km!!!!!).

    How so?

    The "everyone's a filthy Peacenik communist" part, or the bit where they forgot everything we've ever learned about ground combat?

    (Or the ship aesthetics, which I agree aren't for everyone.)
    It has 800% to do with the aesthetics of the ships.
