[ROR] Topics-A Question of Scale

[Stellar_Magic]

No F*** way the Broadside is 500 meters long...  Maybe 50 meters long but not 500! Just look at the concept art for the Broadside!  Tartans 600 meters long... Way to big as well, the largest conventional ship in the imperial navy with a configuration besides an arrowpoint are 350 meter Carrack Cruisers.  I'd say a Tartan would be closer to 300 meters long.  The concept art shows the Assault Frigate Mk 2 as being about 3 times the length of a Corellian Corvette, or about 450 meters not 700!

 

Argh! Star Wars Databank's stupidity strikes again!

 

Also... Just so you guys know.

 

Corellian Gunship 120 meters

Imperial IPV 1 Patrol Craft 150 meters

Corellian Corvette 150 meters

Nebulon B Frigate 300 meters

Acclamator Star Frigate 752 meters

Victory Star Destroyer 900 meters

Venator Star Destroyer 1200 meters

Mon Calamari MC80 Star Cruiser 1200-1500 meters (Depending on subclass)

Imperial Star Destroyer 1600 meters

 

Edit: Ooops forgot about the dreadnaught in my rant, but still why would you build an anti-starfighter platform thats 600 meters long?  Wouldn't smaller and faster be better?

[kingdark]

i agree, besides when it is smaller, you can build it faster for a more soldit dfense

[Stellar_Magic]

Using pixel calculations from the concept art I've found that...

 

An Assault Frigate mk. 2 is 660 meters long.

A Broadside Class Corvette is 55 meters long.

A Tartan Class Patrol Craft is exactly 300 meters long.

Stellar begins to laugh his head off...

 

You've got to be kidding me!  There is no F***ing waying

 

Am I the only one that noticed this?  The Pirate Frigate is a modifier CEC Action IV Medium Transport... and it's enormous in the game! Enormous!  Its as big as Nebulon B!  How did this ity bitty 100 meter long transport become a 300+ meter monster!

Bad research...just scale it down a to a third the current scale.

So when can we expect a list of models that need to be done.. so i can start on that asap, now that we are in the topic of how big and ect ect..

[Necro]

i think we should take an expample frmo supreme commander ( spiritual sequel to TA) where it's said a destroyer is 2 SCREENS long

 

now probably not that big but the really big ships like SSD should be huuge!

Well back to talk of scale.  I've just finished a chart that shows the approxmate size of a variety of different units... Enjoy.

The AT-HA looks interesting. Do you have any information on it? Has it appeared in any expanded universe source? Does it have any "official" backstory?

[Necro]

[Stellar_Magic]

I made up the AT-HA based on a couple of references to an unidentified "Super" walker detail in the Star Wars Technical Commentaries.

Well..if that Kuat Shipyards Turbolaser (largest unit) was ingame, I dought the Rebellion would get far in attempting to assualt Kuat...
