just to give a sense of scale

I think you're a wee bit off with the Ursa; it's 54 m long (36|22|54), a 747 is 70m long ( 22 | 19 | 70). (maybe it's the angle, but the ursa looks the same length, as its also partly in front)

Still, I think it's fair to say the Ursa is somewhat...spacious.

Thanks. Back them, I kept claiming FS scale ( for fighters and bombers, I think it's fine for the rakshasa ) was idiotic, but heh :)

Has anyone ever made a size comparison chart for all the Terran fighters ? Might be interesting.

The fighters aren't that bad, tho....

 
Thumbs up!

I'd say that nukes have gotten bigger in the 24th century, judging by that Ursa.  As for the Rakshasa/carrier shot, nicely done.

:lol: It's great

I think, the Carrier have no Chance against a Rakshasa ;) Hmm.. it's maybe a good Idea for a Civilization Mod :D

Interestingly, the Ursa is about the same rough size (wider, taller) as B52.  So really it's the size of the cockpit that's an issue here.... if it's a 2 or 3 man bomber, the scale is more or less fine (accounting for extra life support and stuff needed)

I just rememberd that there were an Ursa and a Medusa in the background of the Bastion mainhall, where you can see how big they actually are. In the final ani version there was also some deck personell walking around, and those green carts are about 2/3 as tall as a man.

Sathanas is shorter than Collosus but it's thick

 
I'd assume whoever is the turret gunner would be in there too (unless that's automated).
