I don't know about scales, but I think you've messed up your link.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Excellent site.
I noticed you didn't include the size of the Trade Federation Battleship- starwars.com puts it at 3,170m. Though I don't know how accurate it is.
The real question is how long is it?

This site kicks ass!

First of all, your site is an absolutely phenomenal one. It's tremendously well done, and extraordinarily useful.zardalu wrote:Let me know if I've messed up any scales
There were only two minor mistakes that I was able to find. According to http://www.babtech-onthe.net/vorlons/ the VPK is "only" 4.5 miles long. You can read what he has to say, as I think it is fairly accurate.

zardalu,
Well done! For a visual guy like me, it's perfect. I also like how you've incorporated "real life" things such as a jumbo jet and existing buildings to give people the sense of scale of some of these science fiction things. I really like moving those different ships, buildings, and creatures around. I found myself comparing Godzilla to the space slug and so on.
Could I offer a small suggestion? Have you thought of some kind of index that a person could use in order to quickly look up a particular item? Perhaps if the ship appears in more than one place maybe the person could choose the scale. Just a mere suggestion. I bow to you!

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might if they screamed all the time for no good reason.

Maybe we'll see Eclipse SSDs? Best ship comparisons i've seen yet.

Not bad at all! Besides the minor scaling mistakes mentioned, and the need to finish filling in data (which I assume will come along in due time), I see no way to improve it, except to add more ships! I'd love to see the better-known SW EU craft in there.
