OT: Starship size comparisons 1 pixel per meter

If my memory serves me, the Eclipse SSD was the cloned Emperor Palpatine's new flagship in the Dark Empire comic book series. I think it was in Dark Empire II to be exact. I also remeber it being bigger then the comparison pic shows.

I visited some sites, linked on the first flash site. And read a lot (I should have spend my time in my books instead ) and found that the eclipse is just the right scale there, a bit shorter than a SSD (11-13 km) but more massive, but who cares about this comic ships, I dont like them, they are not real Star Wars in my oppionion.
But I am surprised the D`deridex is so large, even as large as an ISD (But I guess with less mass) and generally the ISD is much more smaller in comparison than I guessed...

Here's the Endor link. I don't think you can argue against this kind of research Andres, but if you want to try I'll be listening with interest.

That's what glassing is like, I think.

Is there a way to get the "It's not destroyed on use." part to actually work?

Why shouldn't it work? The "destroyed on use" part of stellar manip components is a seperate ability.

I didn't remember that. Thanks.

It's been updated. Now there are several scales.

I think their new Death Stars are off - at least one of them. I don't think there was that much difference between the two.

And, their King Kong is still too small.

But it's a great site! I'm glad to see they are still adding stuff.

Hey, check out this page which has drawings of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Babylon 5 ships to scale, compared to real ships and buildings. There's the Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, etc compared to Godzilla, Battlestar Galactica, Galaxy Class Starship, Omega Class Destroyer, Star Wars Space Slug, etc.

Each drawing is scaled to 1 pixel = 1 meter.

so I guess size does matter
