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???

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

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

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

, even a Cylon base star would've been cool.

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.
