Just j/king. But if you think about it 640 m is fairly large (around 1400 ft.)

When I said "Pretty small ship", I was actually comparing it to FreeSpace 2 ships.

By the way, can you tell me how big is 640 metres? Maybe compare it with something like a football field or something? Because I don't want to be walking around my neighbourhood with a measuring tape.

640 meters is 2100 feet, about 7 football fields long. That's twice the size of the Nimitz aircraft carrier. Still seems pretty small for what they seem like on the show though.

Incidentally, the crew for the aircraft carriers are about 5000.

I see....wonder how long it'lll take to build a ship of that size? With our current technology...1 year? 2 years?

Hey Nick, how about a trade; the Galaxy-class for the phasers and photon torpedoes.

Hmm. Checking the ST:TNG Technical Manual, it took from July 2343 to October 2363--over twenty years...and that was with 24th century technology!

With our current tech level...geez, we can't even make a weld that could handle velocities reaching half-lightspeed...plus just accelerating would turn the crew to thick'n'chunky salsa (inertial damping fields anyone?)...

But if I made an overly optimistic guess, I'd put our construction of a vessel of comparable capabilities with our current manufacturing capacities at just under 150 years, barring technological R&D, trial and error, and financial muck-ups.

The Enterprise would be about the size of a Deimos, yes?

Oh, and btw, welcome back Bushwacker! Haven't seen you in a while.

Now can everyone see why the scale of things in FS2 is totally messed up?

FYI, a meter is essentially the equivalent of a yard, plus an inch or so.

For all those that wanted to see the Enterprise vs. an Orion...

So where are some Enterprise vs. Orion screenshots already? I wanna see beams blazing and hulls failing.

Acceptable trade. Although my weapons are in the beta version, I'm still modifying them and editting them to get them right. Plus the sounds are all different unless you use them packaged with the AQp2. So it might be a bit confusing. Plus I'm still working on adding the sounds for some of the alien beam weapons such as the polaron beams and such.

But I will email you the stuff you want asap. Is the Enterprise ready yet?

Grey Wolf · **Reply #59 on:** August 15, 2001, 06:07:00 pm

No, still working on the TBL entry, and the model lacks debris. Has anyone noticed there is no real point to most debris on capships because 90% of the time the capships shockwave destroyes the debris?
