US aircraft carriers are too small to be important
 

Gotcha!

The carriers are on top, you can see them when using a magnifying glass :p

STAR WARS EXECUTOR CLASS :rock::rock::rock::rock::rock::rock::rock:

Bwahaha! In yer face U.S Navy! (wonder how small a U-boat is compared to the Super Star Destroyer....)

I fail to recognize half of the spaceships in that poster.
Does that mean I failed the nerd test???
:huh:

Nope, half confirms your Nerd Status.:lol:

"Apololgy accepted Captain Needa"

You identified half of them?

Impressive......most impressive....

Put it this way, if one flew into the Star Destroyers windshield it wouldn't even pit it.

:rotfl:

I don't see the Vorlon planet destroyer on that...I have that 3d model. :)

STAR WARS :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

Hah hah, but the carriers would make great bullets for the guns of some of those ships :sunny:

sci-fi has always suffered from scaling issues. usually windows.

[showing geek]

the big starwars ships are shown in movies with windows with people behind; for the sizes given to fit the average storm trooper must be about 50 foot tall.

the same issue pops up with enterprise, we often see the captain staring out of his little window while the camera zooms away, following scale his cabin takes up about a 5th of the ship. which probably only has room for about 12 people on board.

They didn't include Galactica!!!?? I'm disapointed :nope:, even a Cylon base star would've been cool.

its there.

VIIC u-boat is 67.1 metres long, and so would be 6.71 pixels on that image. It would be a little bigger than the space shuttle at the top.

hoho...imagine if a german sub would encounter the Executor lovely name btw).

-Bernard, any targets in sight?
-Uhh....you'd better check for yourself captain....
-Aha! Executor class spotted load tube 1 and 2!
-Eh, captain, the Executor class is about 17484 meters long and has more firepower than the entire U.S fleet....
-You're right....load 3 and 4 while you're at it!:arrgh!:

Yeah, they used to do this when they only had to work with models. Expect real scale people from now on due to CGI taking over the role of the models. CGI will scale everything appropriately.

Where is the ultimate spaceship? I do not see the Death Star on this page! It would probably take up the whole page and then some though.

-S

Yeah, but only the old 70s version.

Theres no Roger Young either... or the gould ships from Stargate

What about the independence day saucers? and that vacuum cleaner ship from Spaceballs...

The Death Star is a Space station:roll: (or a small moon:lol: )
