I believe the proper word is "Geeks". 50 years ago they'd be biting the heads off chickens for show. Now they know the dimensions of make believe ships used in make believe shows about pretend races and imaginary scenarios.  okay... I dig the Babylon 5 stuff, but the rest is really for geeks!

Star Trek, Smar Trek. We all know the Argo from Star Blazers would wipe out the whole fleet on that poster with one shot from its Wave Motion Gun.

Wow, they even have Moya from Farscape!!!
I love it how Star Wars over-fantasizes their ships. "The Super Duper Duper Star Destroyer has a bazillion gadillion infinity-watt turbolasers with a gazillion soldiers and a gazillion gazillion turbolasers" Star Trek is more "sci-fi realistic" in the sense that you'd expect similar ships being constructed in the real 24th century. But IMHO, Star Trek ships need more of the black/yellow caution stripes you see everywhere on Naval vessels. Also, lots of stenciled "NO STEP" markings everywhere  You know, put one on the dilithium crystal matrix so a grunt doesn't step on it. LOL |

Isn't the borg cube a little too large? It was obviously bigger than the ships in the shows, but it seems to be a bit too large in comparison to the TNG Enterprise does it not? It wasn't THAT much bigger unless my memory fails me completely...

We're off in outer space Protecting Mother Earth To save the human race Our StarBlazers Danger lurking everywhere But we know we've got to dare Evil men with evil schemes They can't destroy all our dreams We must be strong and brave Our home we've got to save We must make the fighting cease So Mother Earth will be at peace Through all the fire and the smoke We will never give up hope If we can win the Earth will survive We'll keep peace alive With our Star Blazers |

I have to repeat what others have said. If that chart does not include the Death Star (100 MILES in diameter for the first one, over 500 MILES for the second one), it is very incomplete. Of course, drawing the ships to scale would be hell...

Oh. Never saw it. Looks a lot like the spaceships from some species in Star Trek: Voyager that used three of them to destroy a Borg planet with a similar energy beam. Species 8415, or whatever the hell it was.... |

Sort of... I can't really see it, but I bet that's the real life Battleship Yamato. The second link shows a picture of the Battleship Yamato, and the first link shows that it belongs to Japan. The Space Battleship Yamato didn't belong to Japan, it belonged to whatever government was in the show. Memory is failing me right now. The Earth Defense Force? Not the Space Battleship Yamato, which was of course built from the remains of the original ship. |

What are you saying? The space battleship Yamato's the same size as the battleship Yamato because it's the same vessel. Who cares if the space battleship isn't owned by the Japanese empire? That's not important on a chart intended to show scale. |

What I'm saying is that it's not the Yamato from the series. It's an Ocean Going, not Space Going vessel. That's why I wrote "sort of..." |

"Okay, we need to take a left at Alpha Centauri, then-" *thunk* "What was that?" "Uh... Battleship." "Oh, is that all?" "Yeah." "Think we should stop?" "Nah, it'll slide right off the hull when we slingshot around the binary." |

As the story goes, the Space going Yamato is just the old sunken Yamato that they resurrected and use in space. ----------- FWIW Star Trek guys: You cannot defend the off-center engines the ships have. Particularly from the old series. Putting engines on pylons to keep the radiation from contaminating the crew- Good. Putting engines on pylons that are not on the ship's centerline? Bad. |

They are not engines. They are warp nacelles. The impulse engines are on the center of the back of the saucer sections, and just bellow for those that seperate.
The warp nacelles only generate the subspace field for the warp bubble. The explination of where they are, behind and above, is not to shield the crew, but rather that is the point that generates the best warp field for the density/dimentions of a ship. The star gazer/constillation class was one of the last ships to have more than 2 since they found more than that did not make it any faster or more stable. (Do not count the rick bergman/brannage stuff as they ignored all of the old tech manuals after roddneberry died.) Now they do have stresses up there, and thus these are explained away by the magical structural integrity fields and inertial dampners. If we could make artificial gravity, stands to reason we could do the others. |
