Hitman model by IO Interactive.

He, I discovered that I can't do charachter meshes, so I borrowed the Hitman model.

A bit hard to see, though.

...So most of the extrusions are about 1 deck, to scale.   Good work.

[Styxx]

The Orion just seems ridiculously huge when you see it that way, eh?

[kasperl]

one anoying little remark: there is very little armour between the top of the deck (or the end of a window) and the actual vacuum. just seems a bit odd. a possible explanation though: the extrusions are luxuary lounges for non-combat situations, and a below-deck armour of a couple of feet rolls between te vacuum and the ship when the **** hits the fan

[Fineus]

Styxx, that always struck me as perhaps FSs biggest problem, you could barely fit a few fighters in the launch bay hole but the size of one man is that big! I know fighters are larger than a man but not that much...

[kasperl]

can someone make a render or something where you see each shipon it's side,and a human and a scale of measurement (a stick with marked things for meters or something). that way you would be able to see this better. you could also make an animation where yoou see the pilots scramble for there ships. or make a scene a la star trek. where you see someone look out of the window, and then the camera moves to a wide external shot of the ship.

just a few sugestions

[HeX]

If this is a more "size accurate" Orion then any fighters made in comparison should be scaled accordingly. In other words, MUCH smaller then in game

uhh? you lost me there, what are you trying to say?

[Styxx]

Actually, the thing is that fighters ingame are huge too, much larger than any modern day fighter plane...

[Shrike]

Sooo...... about those turrets.

Can we please change that though? I mean I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one who enjoys the epic feel of capital ships alongside fighters rather than large everything...

[Mr Carrot]

Just because they are one man doesnt mean they are small, the fighters would have to be HUGE To fit all the systems in, and the cap ships arnt exactly small

My fellow edible has hit it - the fighters in FS are appropriately huge. Have you even been alongside a real F-15? They are much bigger than they seem. And in space, you need that much more room for everything.

Oh, and:

Yes, I thought of this too, and I have to agree with your possible explanation.

I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately Excel won't graph the kind of chart I want it to, so you'll have to live with this chart. Heights/lengths are in meters.

Well, when you put it that way, I guess things aren't scaled so inappropriately after all.  Except for the whole GTF Hercules > Blue Whale bit; I don't care if the cockpit was supposed to give full panaramic vision, that's still just too big.  Perhaps on the order of 12 meters would be more fitting...

*smack* Shaddup. Like you never made a mistake.

Can anyone give me the sizes for some of the Homeworld ships?

Homeworld ship sizes will be hard... There's a few dozen different sizes from several sources.
