You folks remember when we had this discussion? I've finally gotten around to experimenting with it.
Please excuse the cruddiness. It's just a test, really; not all the blocks converted and I didn't want to exhaust myself debugging this model.
Anyway.
Midtown Manhattan and the Empire State Building, compared with a Deimos.
Empire State as seen from Broadway. Those two tiny engine glows in the middle are my fighter.
An Orion dominates Harlem. It could comfortably fill Central Park.
SoHo and the Financial District...
South end of the island, and the bow of the Colossus.
The skyline silhouetted against the great warship.
If there's enough interest I'll try harder to complete the model and release it. It could be great for comparing the scale of your ships to reality, and adjusting your FOV to comfortable levels.
And if anyone wants to say they made the whole city spaceworthy and launched it into orbit to keep it safe from the Shivans, well, that's their choice.
