Size Comparison - Science Fiction spaceships

Post by dansan »

This is an amazing work: http://dirkloechel.deviantart.com/art/S ... -398790051

The sight of the Wing Commander ships in the lower right made me nostalgic :)

I remember a page with all kinds of images like that on different pages by size, including even the Death Star and the Halo. The biggest on the entire page, by a huge margin? Earth's Moon.

I never liked the obscenely huge scale of Empire ships in Star Wars - it seems to not fit the "early-20th-century-pulp fantasy in space" theme of Star Wars and breaks into "true" SF. Star Wars is a setting where entire planets feel like little islands instead of world-sized places... SSDs the size of Manhattan and the Death Star being large enough to accommodate the entire population of Earth many times over is kind of a midichlorianesque thing.
