Comparison of Ship Sizes

Sep 18, 2008 Daare link
One page with all the available ships at relative scale. Images are from the Wiki. Relative scale should be accurate assuming that each file displayed the ships at the same size.

Man I thought the wraith was bigger than that. I think they are a bit off, just look at how small the taur looks.

Been saying that for ages now.

Is there any reason you thought yourself justified in that assumption?

How many weapons slots does the raptor have again?

Wraith does look off as do a number of ships. I didn't bother to actually measure anything though - just resized everything as is from the Wiki by listed length.

Here's a comparison by mass which actually makes more sense (with a few exceptions).

(Raptor has two small slots.)

Personally, I'm a fan of scaling everything including stations to this one.

For some reason the raptor seems a little to big for just having two small ports...

This is scaled based off of the lengths listed on their stats:

Note, It will render wrong in IE and FF 2, and the stats are probably out of date by now.

Much better, ty SL

The white & black one seems to have the wrong size for the Trident. It's not that big, is it?

I think a coordinated measuring effort is needed: measure all ships in behemoth-links. Get a bunch of players end-to-end with Behemoths, and then someone taking a screenie to record the actual lengths. I think there might be some surprises.

I already linked that one, Whistler. :P

Heh, neat stuff. Humm, scale is hard to grasp ingame.
Sep 19, 2008 Whistler link
D'oh.

The one I made (which MSKanaka and Whistler linked) is entirely accurate. The Trident is that big.

Anything scaled by the "Length" numbers won't be entirely correct.
