    This can\'t be right considering they have an elevator in the ship. The actual ship is several stories; this looks one to two stories :/

    Ignore the negative comments my friend. You\'ve obviously put a ton of work into this - looks amazing!

    USS Enterprise should be 2,379 feet (725 m) in length

    Found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Enterprise

    That my friend is not 2,379 blocks in length, thus not to scale.

    If you want to see a to-scale USS Enterprise, go see this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIh1fxlqIoY



    Also, if you want more props, add more detail, this is what the ship should look like in a sense,

    Just spawned, blocks in Starmade are cubed meters, so the required length would be 725 blocks. He\'s still nowhere close, but he\'s closer than 2379.

    He is building the canon 1701 from what ive seen, the 2009/darkness enterprise isnt considered canon, because it is the result of time travel, thus making it a parallel universe.



    Also a 725 meter enterprise would dwarf most \"prime universe\" vessels, as they are mostly in the range of 200~500 meters, only 2 canon ship classes have breached that barrier, namely the Galaxy and Sovereign Classes.



    For comparisation:

    Enterprise 1701 (TOS): 289m

    Enterprise 1701 (Refit): 305m

    Enterprise 1701 (New): 725m

    Quite a jump, isnt it?



    Also, the CGI in the \"new\" movies screwed up most size comparisations, making it almost impossible to determine the actual size of the new enterprise.

    The fact that most people have just jumped on this topic to flame this guy about how it isn\'t \"full size\", he still did a bloody great job on the build and it would\'ve taking quite a bit of time to construct so give him some props instead of putting the build down.

    (god i hate this automatic-subject nonsense in this forum)
    Well, consider that the player in StarMade is two full blocks high (put a roof on the third block above your head, you cant even jump as you grind your head at the roof).

    So anything made \"to scale\" would need to be at least one meter per floor MORE than the real size would indicate, as real people (even actors in the show) aren\'t 2 meters tall bumping their heads on the roof.

    So it might be to scale, but it still won\'t look and feel right if you play the game and walk around in it, since you\'ll always be a 2 meter giant in this game.

    Its not just a man, its a man in a spacesuit. that gives you a good 20-30cm for the spacesuit to add up to the 2m mark

    It\'s its own canon. The canonicity has been debated multiple times, and the general concensus is that its making new canon to work with.
