FAQ:
Q: Is it okay for me to download and print the poster?
A:
Of course! I may never be making money off it and sell it via DevArt's
poster-print service, but that doesn't mean this may not be printed by
you (and since you cut out the middle man - me - it's even cheaper for
you than if I sold it to you!).
Q: Why isn't the Death Star/CSO Carrier/V'Ger/other large ship on the chart?
A:
For reasons of image quality and chart organisation, only ships between
a minimum of 100 meters and 24000 meters are applicable for this chart,
sorry. Arbitrary? Yes! But I had to draw the line somewhere.
Q: And where's TARDIS?
A: It's both too large and too small for the chart.

The last update
For
real this time: This is the final major content update, though if there
are issues I'll still fix them. I also haven't forgotten I wanted to
vectorize the writing. It's still on the radar. But content-wise, I
think that is about all I can put in.
Also, I added the ISS. For scale. It's on top, with a yellow frame so it's relatively easy to find.
Lots of errors fixed, lots of new ships too. Well, off for now, but I'll be replying in the comments more or less regularily.
Also
added a few more ships and switched the Eternal Crusader for the Legate
Class battle barge, which is a class ship and not a unique ship.
Major update
This
is probably at least for the forseseeable future the last round of
adding ships. I have pretty much all I wanted now (excepting some old
scifi, and many Anime series, which tend to not have many usable
images). Lots of new content. Including:
-> UPDATE for Mass Effect! It now features the Crusible and two little new Geth ships.
-> UPDATE for Star Trek! It now features the Narada and a couple more small ships courtesy of
Euderion.
-> UPDATE (smallish) for Star Wars, which now features the CIS Supply Sphere.
-> UPDATE for Star Blazers, whcih now features two Gamilan and 3 EDF ships.
-> UPDATE for Halo, which now features the Forerunner Keyship.
-> UPDATE for Robotech/Macross, which now features a few more MAcross 7 ships, such as the Meltrandi.
-> NEW: Freespace! Shivans, Vasudans, Terrans, New Terrans!
-> NEW: Dune! Thanks to
Euderion, I finally got a model fo a Heighliner and could add this series. Also: Harkonnen and Guild Frigate, Emperor's own frigate
->
New: Transformers! The Nemesis and the Axiom. Sizes are soemwhat
guesstiamtes. I'm happy I found useful images at all, though, and size
in Transformers is ... well.
-> NEW: Ulysses 31! One of these little shows I remember from saturday morning toons in my childhood. Model courtesy of
JamesMargerum, visit his gallery for a larger version that does this nice design a lot more justice at
jamesmargerum.deviantart.com/g… .
-> NEW: Starfox! The Great Fox ship.
-> NEW: Toho Kaiju Movies. Because there's more madness there than Godzilla, Motha and Megalon!
->
NEW: The Hithhiker's Guide To The Galaxy! Much demanded, this adds the
HEart of Gold and the Titanic 2 to the chart. If anyone has a definite
source on the size of a Constructor, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Thanks!
-> NEW: Sol Bianca! More space pirates!
-> NEW: Freelancer - also sorely missed by many.
-> NEW: X³! Lots of pretty sizable ships here.
-> NEW: Monsters vs. Aliens! It's massive, that ship.
And that's it for now. Enjoy the new-and-improved chart!
==============================
Another Update! Look!
This
has some stuff that has been much demanded. Most notably: Mass Effect!
Sorry, but I only found low-resolution images for the crucible; hence,
it did not make it. If anyone has a high-res image, link it please, and
I'll see if it can go in in another update. Also, since I haven't said
so before: Credits for the Musashi, Trafalgar and Phoenix models go to
Annihilator102 and the Sins of the Prophets team.
Other new stuff:
- Spaceball One
- The Black Hole's USS Cygnus
- 2001's Discovery One (it's actually tiny on the chart, though)
- 2010's Cosmonaut Leonov (not so tiny, size taken from official blueprints)
- Stargate

estiny's Destiny and the Stargate:Atlantis' Atlantis (also the Replicator ships); size from this chart:
gatecast.co.uk/wordpress/wp-co…- The Honorverse! Lots of Manticoran and Havenite ships, based on
thomasthecat.deviantart.com 's work.
- Avatar's ISV VentureStar
- other small stuff I surely have forgotten to mention. It's 4 am here. I'm kind of tired.
Much
still to do, but my next project will not be more ships, but vectorized
text for all those who want this chart as a poster.
==============================
New Update! And thanks to the folks who featured my work!
UPDATE! NEW FILE!
Newly featured:
Wall-E (Axiom, Zephyrus and Epiglottus city ships, based on the size calculation here:
buy-n-large.livejournal.com/17… )
Dead Space (sizes mostly based on Dead Space Wikia and conjecture)
Star Citizen (Size based on the Star Citizen Wiki)
Galaxy Quest (Sizes taken from a Chart compiled by Dan Carlson, who inspired me for this chart)
Space: Above and Beyond (Sizes taken from a Chart compiled by Dan Carlson, who inspired me for this chart)
BattleTech (several Inner Sphere and Clan ships; based on
www.sarna.net )
Wing Commander (Sizes mostly via wcnews.com )
StarCraft (Sizes and ship images taken from:
i2.minus.com/idKJOHIciRf0E.jpg )
Homeworld (based on conjecture, the Homeworld wiki which has everything except sizes, and a few fanmade charts)
Close Encounter (image via Smithonian; size conjecture based on film clips)
District 9 (Image internet; size wikipedia)
Added to existing listings:
Romulan Mining Ship, USS Odyssey, and USS Vengeance (Dreadnaught-class) for Star Trek
I
realise this is again no Mass Effect. I am having serious trouble
finding both usable art (side views, as untilted as possible - some
compromise is doable, but not too much that the shape of the ship ends
up distorted). If anyone has either an artbook or images that work,
PLEASE let me knoe (via note, since comments have gotten a tad
overwhelming). Same with the Hitchhiker's - anyone got something solid
on the Heart of Gold and the Vogon ship?
Also, by popular
demand: the Tardis is already on the image. Whether it's on the Red
Dwarf and .25 pixels large or ALL ofthe image is your choice, it's
probably both, anyway.

Anyway,
this is not the final update. Dune still needs to be done, a couple
other stuff, and maybe I can finally find some useful Mass Effect stuff.
It IS sorely missing. I am very aware of that!
For the sake of
usability, I am experimenting with coloured backgrounds (muted, not to
take away from the ships) for easier finding of the ship you are loking
for.
===============
This is a sorely needed update to my
size comparison tables. For 40K, I now used the updated Rogue Trader
sizes where applicable, resulting in much larger 40K vessels. Also, no
battleships are present because there simply is no canonic size
available on them. I kept
andrea1969.deviantart.com/
s Eternal Crusader in (at 10 km length, because I figure it is close
enough to the Vengeful Spirit, which has a given size), and the Malleus
Syndicate's (
www.malleus.dk/Ordo/Default.as…
fantastic civilian ships because I just like them. Most ships, though,
are Rogue Trader vessels. And yes, it's still mostly Imperium. Ork
ships, Eldar Ships and the likes may be added in the future though.
Edit 4: The next Update! The chart now features the following series, universes and tabletop games:
Star Wars (Expanded universe, G-Canon whereever possible)
Star Trek (official stats)
Stargate (official stats)
EVE Online
Warhammer 40.000
Babylon 5
Robotech/Macross
Halo
Battlestar Galactica (both series)
Firefly/Serenity
Farscape
Titan A.E.
Legend of Galactic Heroes
Starship Troopers (TV and Movie)
Aliens vs. Predator universe
Lexx - The Dark Zone
Red Dwarf
Event Horizon
V
The Irresponsible Captain Tyler
Martial Successor Nadesico
Space Pirate Captain Haarlock
Silent Running
Independence Day
Slated
for the next update: District 9, Battletech universe, maybe more
Macross, more classic sci-fi movies. Recommendations welcome!
Edit 3: Yeah, so that last edit: I lied. Here's a new chart.
This
chart now covers: Warhammer 40.000, Star Trek, Star Wars, Farscape,
Battlestar Galactica, Starship Troopers, V, Halo, EVE online, Titan A.E.
and Robotech. It'S ... a lot of starships, to scale as best as I could
find out the relevant scales. I used various online sources - specific
wiki, other size comparison charts (especially Jeff Russell's and Dan
carlson's), and other fanmade sites. Sometimes there were conflicting
measurements, and I had to make a choice (I usually picked the larger
one). Star Wars fans: I go with G-Canon, if in doubt. Yes, I liked
Westwood games too. It's not canon anymore. There's worse things.
Edit
2: This is the last edit on this, I promise. It's a massive update
though, including more ships from Star Wars, as I finally found decent
images of a Souvereign! New stuff includes a few extra ridiculous ones
(eh, torpedo egg?), more superdestroyers, some wacky superweapons, and a
TON of all-new ships from Battlestar Galactica, EVE online, Halo and
Stargate.
Edit: Added Chaos warships. Overlooked these before in
Battlefleet Koronus. And Eldar, Ork, Rak'Gol and Kroot. More to come,
maybe, if new supplements add new ships.
Full view is massively advised. A download of the
image in full size is also possible.
