Okay, now instead of your site I get tiled fortune city logos. Stupid school computer.

Wow I really appreciate all of your comments and suggestions, they will all help for me to make this site even more accurate and hopefully more interesting.

A few notes:

Vympel, I will update the site and include the diameter of the TFB

Cpt_Frank, I'm looking for references to the MF at 50m, but I can't find any...do you have a source for that length?

Master of Ossus, I really appreciate your comments. I took a look at http://www.babtech-onthe.net/vorlons/warships.html, but judging even from shots from the show that are on that page I am convinced of the larger size of planet killer. Considering a Vorlon Cruiser is roughly 1300m long (I think), check out the first image on the site of one of the cruisers in front of the planet killer. It is Tiny! 45 km may not be bang on, but the ship must certainly be larger than 7.2km. I will keep investigating.

My pleasure. It's always great to take a look at a site that is as well-made as this one. You've obviously spent a great deal of time on this site, and it really shows in the finished product. Keep up the good work, zardalu.

The sites contain different ways of scaling the MF.
The results range from 30-150 m but it's clearly bigger than the 20m which came from the WEG resource books IIRC.

Ho-LY fuck!!!!! :shock: :shock:

Absolutely incredible!

I like the fact that you included the Holoship from ST:X.

And for some reason, Constitution II-class sounds a lot better than Constitution Refit. I like it! Keep up the good work!

The site is great except wtf is up with the Slave I? There is NO WAY that can be accurate. I don't care what official sources say, that is horribly wrong. Just think back whenenver Boba or Jango Fett went up the ramp. It is NOT THAT BIG. Compare the group of humans to it and you will see everything is waaaaay to big to accomodate them. Fix it, and the site will be perfect.

Why in chewbacca's part are you using a boba Fett picture? Do you know something about the cloning process we don't?

funny, i wonder where trek got the influence for their TNG Starbases. *cough*Cloud City*cough*
It is not well for one to trifle in the affairs of the ancient Chinese generals, for they have a tendency to send armies of tens of thousands of warriors after those who challenge them.
