Size matters
on: November 21, 2006, 05:21:39 am
Well, I needed some :v: models in 3ds Max to scale a model of mine to the existing fighters. So I converted a bunch of models to 3ds, but then I got curious and things went slightly overboard and I ended up making various size comparison renders.

Ans since I already made them, i could as well upload them. So there you go, everything to scale:





and a couple more: Top-down, same with Fenris, iso view

And just because the HTL Fenris is so cool: My new desktop wallpaper

Makes me wonder how many Saths would it take to gun down the SSD... is the SSD from Star Wars or something?

Or maybe the Shivans would just send in their Gigas with an insta-kill subspace cannon... :nervous:

Oh I know that page, but I think this guy's already swamped in submissions.

It's always amused me that the Sathanas could probably simply run over most of the uber-mega-super-duper ships from other sci-fi. Not the Super Star Destroyer, but it's probably close to half the SSD's mass, so that would be one heck of a traffic accident.

It's about half the size of the Retribution, so I wouldn't go that far. Certainly it wouldn't like running into your standard Gothic, Slaughter, or Kill Kroozer, but the Sathanas would be the one that would live through it. It probably has more total mass than the Void Stalker would.

Can you do that with the Colossus? I like to look at the windows. ;)

Oh, and while your at it, try it with the Gigas (or Dante, Icanus, Apocalypse...). :lol:

They don't have the Colossus on that site. I could do it in Truespace if I had the time but sadly I don't.

Doesn't have any freespace ships, but you can get an idea.  The Sathanas is slightly smaller than a Bab5 Explorer class, and a Fenris between Star Trek Defiant and Galaxy-class.

Yes, the SSD is that badass.

contrary to the topic title, "Size matters not." In space, since there's an abundance of room, you don't really need to have small ships. Think about it. If you had a fighter 10 football fields long, you could have it warp in 10 klicks away from a target, have it shoot uber-huge lasers, and launch uber-huge missiles. The singular reason we have to have aerodynamic planes in air is to increase speed. The more aerodynamic a plane is, there is less air friction it has to fight, it gets more lift, and it's more maneuverable. In space, you don't have air friction to fight, and you don't have to think about gravity constantly tugging you down into a death spiral. Bigger ships in space just make sense......sorta.  ;)

Yeah... about the size of the Colossus
i mean...the ursa...its more than half a football field in length.

It's a bomber...
ok well, so i guess its a bomber so thats ok...but still!
See?

and then when you get into capships, and the OMGWTFBBQ size of the ones in inferno...
That's purely up to the modellers on the Inferno team. And a lot of people seem to just eat up the "OMGWTFBBQ" size, despite that larger ships completely ruin gameplay. Cant really do a whole lot to a 6Km ship, let alone a 30, while you're in your ursa, sekhmat, boan, etc...
30km SSJ Gargant, anyone?
Yeah...... see above.
