Anyone seen this site?

Compares the dimensions of starships from various sci-fi sources:

Click on the Zoom scale at the top of the page to see proportional drawings of those vessels they have cataloged.
-2000x shows the largest.

Thanks for that, it's good to measure up the Battlefleet Gothic ships to more popular ships. The Federation has no hope against the Gothic Fleet if a simple battleship is 50x the size of one of theirs.

Cheers :)

No ships from Dune.. How sad.. :(

Herbert wasnt too specific about ship size until "heretics" and then we're talking a kilometre long or so. I think they need to put in more ships from books, too many of them seem to be from films and anime.
Ships they need to put in include Skylark of Valeron, the Lensman series ships, Culture ships, which can range from a few hundred metres to 50 by 20 by 10 kilometres, as well as the space ship from Fritz Leibers book "the wanderers" which was an earth sized planet hollowed out.

With a little more work I think that site could be quite big. I'm seeing if I cannot create my own information to submit from the WH40k universe. The site already has a few ships from them in there, namely the Cobra Frigate which totally dwarfs more popular ships like the Star Trek ships. Silly thing is that the Cobra is tiny. The Emporer and Retribution class ships are roughly 15 times the size. (http://us.games-workshop.com/games/bfg/hobby/galleries/imperial/default.htm) Hmm...seems like I have some work to do.

Tough job to do is creating an image of an Eldar craftworld, the artificial worlds that float through space created by advanced aliens...

Anyone know if a Dyson Sphere counts as a ship...or is that just the new vacuum cleaner?

A dyson sphere is not a ship since it cant move. Concievably you oculd move one, perhaps by opening a hole in one side and directing matter from the sun out it, but given the dyson sphere would probably outmass the sun anway it would hardly be worth doing.

Anyway, size isnt important. The problem with comparing it is that all these ships operate in different universes, and with different weapons. A Culture GSV tooled up for war would be able to waste solar systems and a fleet of just about anything else, given that the culture have nearly reached the limits of technological progress in their universe. On the other hand it might have trouble with a million spaceships out of the 6th lensman book, but the problem is that the culture ship can slip in and out of hyperspace, something that the lensman ships cannot, since they are operating in a different universe where hyperspace as such does not exist.
