GUL EVEK
The Maquis came at us with photon
torpedoes and type eight phasers --
tell me, Captain, how do you
So how good are type 8 phasers?
Galaxy Class and fighter capacity

Galor class size. EAS – 481 meters. DITL – 372 meters.
Galor class Photo shop size. 1257 pixels long. 2.61 pixels per meter (EAS) 3.38 pixels per meter (DITL)
Using the fighter shots from Sacrafice Angles I find that the Peregrine is approximately the size of the small hump behind the phaser mount on the top forward section. That is approximately 48 pixels long. This equates to the Peregrine being 18.4 meters (EAS) 14.2 meters (DITL).
After viewing shots from the Peregrine/Runabout battle of The Maquis PT-2 I notice that the Peregrine is shorter in length then a Runabout. EAS lists the Runabout at 23 meters, given how much shorter the Peregrine is the EAS measurement of 18.4 meters fits reasonably well. DITL also lists the Runabout at 23 meters. So in conclusion I will call the Peregrine to 18 meters in length. This fits with the DITL size, though EAS says the Peregrine is 30 meters in length. The Peregrine is 18 meters long. It is 844 pixels long. That is 46.9 pixels per meter. The Peregrine is 856 meters wide, 18.25 meters wide. If the wings fold, the Peregrine is only 458 pixels, or 9.7 meters wide.
Akira and carrying capacity.
EAS length, 440 meters. DITL 464. EAS goes into detail on explaining the length of the Akira while DITL just lists 464. I will use EAS.
Akira is 642 pixels long, 1.46 pixels per meter. Akira Shuttlebay’s 1 & 2 are 32 pixels wide, 21.9 meters wide. Both Shuttlebay doors can fit fully deployed Tac-Fighters or can launch two folded wing Tac-Fighters.
Akira height of reasonable space for Tac-Fighter storage, 49 pixels. Width of reasonable space, 224 pixels. Length of reasonable space, 221 pixels. This translates to 33.5 meters tall, 153 meters wide, 151 meters long. Storing Tac-Fighters double high, an Akira could theoretically carry 12x12 (leave reasonable room) per level. This totals out to 288 fighters.
And I actually left significant room in there. Assuming 150 meters long and wide those fighters only take 116.7 meters (Peregrine is 9.7 meters with folded wings). To be conservative the second level could be tossed. This still leaves plenty of room on the entire ship for other systems. Supposedly the Akira’s warp cores are actual dual cores, each in the pylons to the nacelles. With this being a Warship design and proper storage of both fighters and torpedoes, wow. I can see over a thousand torpedoes on the Akira as well as more then 80 fighters easily.
I just realized a mistake I made when calculating the carrying capacity of the Akira. I treated the Tac-Fighters as square forgetting that they are longer then they are wide with the wings folded.
Using a single fighter storage bay of 150 meters by 150 meters an Akira can hold 15 fighters wide by 8 fighters deep. Taking into account the need for room in the bay to move about and to be conservative I will reduce that down to 10 fighters wide by 6 fighters deep. That is 60 fighters. This ignores the calculation that says the Akira has enough room for a double stacked bay (120 fighters instead of 60) Conservatively an Akira can hold a minimum of 60 fighters. Furthermore using tight pack storage of torpedoes an Akira can easily have more then 2,000 torpedoes.
Considering that an Akira is designed as a warship, the listed figures above are valid IMO.
