Hey Kazashi, how long and how much effort did it take you to make those images? Do you think you could do a comparison with all the ships? Two ship I would love to see comparisons with is the Elysium and the Argo.

Cheers.

Sorry about the delay, I was down the coast for a few days.

Actually I didn't really put much time or effort into the images, just a couple of minutes with rough model conversions and placing. I want to take the time to get some textured models converted (again), and to do a comparison with all the ships - including Vasudan size comparisons - plus a few "real world" examples, specifically an aircraft carrier and submarine, to show how people really can be packed into such spaces.

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the results.

It's mentioned that although the escape pods are on board every GTVA vessel. However they do not have enough for everyone to escape on.

The GTEP hermes was first fielded 12 years before 2335 thanks to the destruction of the GTD Goliath. (assumption: all hands lost) In FS2 it is mentioned in the tech description that they are not intended for full crew evacuations.

Indeed.
