"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

If you are talking about the ship above Terran, it's the gigas from the campaign/project INFERNO.  And to think it's not the biggest ship, not even close.

It's just my opinion that most of those ships though technically the right size (all numbers match) in game are WAY TOO SMALL!!! Seriously, take the galactica for instance,  In order to hold all the fighter squadrons alone would have to be increased, not counting all the command staff and technicians, medical personel, and all other occupations... The problem with Most sci-fi ships is that the designers make awesome models, but realisticly they are why off on the scale of what they made... I really don't care what any boo or movie says, it's just my opinion... Hmm let me see if there is a aircraft carrier picture I can compare to the starships...
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

Actually, the Galactica fighters were far smaller then their FS/FS2 counterparts - more on the scale of Star Wars fighters.

Yeah. I noticed that site a few months back. It's pretty good :) I was surprised that the Sath was up there especially since I don`t remember seeing anything from any other space games.

Actually, it's not size that's important, but what you do with that size.

A Culture ROU could turn a Sathanas into any number of amusing shapes in the blink of an eye, but it's smaller than a Deimos.

It is a cool site though, I've poked around it before.

like the macross, (sdf-1 for us westerners) for such a small and isolated ship it certainly took a bit of punishment, and delt it too...

and the Death star II was defeated by a X-wing and a certain highly modified corellian yt-1300 transport..

LEXX is practically softcore porn at times.  In space!  How can it not be good!

And the Lexx was a bug... not a giant penis.
