Size of nBSG ships?

Post by Lord Revan »

I've been watching NBGS DvDs and I started wondering does anyone know just how big the ships in that verse are (both colonial and cylon)?

I know they're reasonbly large (colonial 1 looks large on the ground but small compared to the Battlestars)

also is the Wikis seem the say that the Mercury-class (aka Pegasus) are smaller then Galactica-"class" (the actual class name is unknown I think but galactica is the best known example) but it seemed larger in the series.

What? There's a line of dialogue on Pegasus that states that the Beast is 'twice the size, needs half the crew.' Twice the internal volume probably.

EDIT: Battlestar wiki gives Galactica's dimensions as:

Length 4720 feet (1438.64m)[1]
Width 1762 feet (536.84m)[2]
Height 602 feet (183.32m)
