As far as I can tell, this guy's using accurate (and not party line) numbers! nifty.

Man, I love how Executor just dwarfs everything

Especially when compared to V'Ger or Whale Probe

YES!

*shrug* Both of those are exceptions rather than rules. Executor lords over the common starcraft.

And what the hell is V'Ger, anyway? That's way the hell too big to the the Voyager probe, obviously. Which is what I've been told it's supposed to be.

It is? I thought the thing was supposed to be 100km long or something enormous.

I dunno, something about how some alien race grabbed the Voyager probe and stuck a lot of shit on it to make it dangerous and sent it back was what I heard. 98 km worth is a lot of extra shit stuck on, though.

At it´s core is the Voyager probe, the rest was added on by a mysterious machine race... (No, not the Borg )

And the two probes are apparently single ships, the Executor is an entire ship-class!

It's Voyager 6, "upgraded" by a civilisation of machines at the other end of a wormhole.

Actually, the drawing only depicts the physical core of V'ger. In the movie, it was surrounded by a "cloud" measuring 82 AU across - they reduced it to 2 AU in the Director's Cut.

You think the probe was all machine-race-built? I thought they gave it the ability to build onto itself, and it simply "grew" to be that big over time on its journey back to Earth. That's what I got out of the dialogue, anyway.

Wow, that was a sane trekkie . No, I really liked his charts, and it's good that he separates himself from some other elements.

nice link

Are there Haloverse ships in it by the way? Always wondered how the earth cruiser in Halo looked like compared to others

Yeah, and where's the whole cloud part?

The Pillar of Autumn's size is rather hotly contested. As for what it looks like, here you go.

The whole cloud was supposed to be 1 astronomical unit in diameter if I recall correctly, that might put it a little too big to be put on a diagram - the cloud dissipated when Vger entered the solar system as well IIRC.

EDIT: Or, I could actually read what had gone before. Dumbass.

all right all right. The Vorlon Planet Killer. Or even better. Shadow Planet Killer (assume that the black background is SPK )

Which only ever demonstrated possessing a single main weapon that was incredibly unwieldy and required the vessel to be escorted by dozens or hundreds of support ships?

Executor = teh win

Nice pictures. I wish I knew all the show they're based on.

Cool.

Sigh. I'm going to have to do one of these when I get my site up and running dealing with my Empires universe.

Yes, well the author of that page left out the two Death Stars. I guess to have those on the chart would make everything else single pixles.

Here's another comparison page.

Sorry. Double post.

Hmm, no SW ships there.
