Starship Dimensions...for all the sci-fi geeks out there
Stumbled upon this site today. Made some rather interesting discoveries which upset me a bit (though i was much more upset that i was apparently such a geek that i could be upset about stuff like this). If you ever wondered ow bi one scifi ship is compared to another you can find out here.
So to unleash the geekiness. I learned today that te Enterprise D is just over a third the size of a romulan D'deridex class warbird, which is in turn only slightly smaller than a Star Destroyer. That surprised me quite a bit since i always imagined a star destroyer to be a really big fucking ship but now i find out that its actually not a lot bigger than a Romulan warship. And to add insult to injury its even smaller than an EA Omega Class Destroyer from Babylon 5. I mean come on, i love B5 but human sips in that series were weak, how can they be several times the size of te Enterprise! Well no matter even if its 10 times the size i bet even the NX class would blow the Omega out of the sky.
Just to show you what i mean, here is an example. These two pics are in scale.
Now i ask you how is that possible, since it should be obvious that the Sovereign class is a much more awesome ship but look at the size ofit.
And to all the non geeks, please disregard this tread as there is no way i can come out of it looking good and with any measure of self respect left.
