Size Comparison of Sci-Fi Spaceships

[Daserop]

Even though the chart is for spaceships, it would have been cool to get Unicron (the transformer that eats planets) on the chart.

A guide to what it will take to build one if you are looking for a weekend project:

http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/178...er-800000-years-and-852-quadrillion-to-build/

So the cost is 13000 x the GDP of the entire world? But it'll take 833,000 years to build it. So if you got a simple 30 yr loan (and we're still at comparatively low rates) per year of GDP cost, that's still only 390,000 years to pay the thing off - nearly half the production time.

I say we go for it. Damn ISIS is out of control as it is.

So which is bigger, death star or the mothership from Independence Day?

Nerd pic of the week:

That is a pic of the Executor class Super Star Destroyer (listed at 19000 meters) crashing into the surface of the Death Star. Gives a little perspective of how big the Death Star was.

Actually - this site suggests the ID4 ship was considerably larger than either death star. Have no idea the basis. Wiki suggests that the ID4 mother ship is 500 km in diameter, whereas the death stars are both under 200...

I'm going to go reflect on my life now....

I thought the first death star was ~200km but the second was ~900km.

I also think the Vorlon planet killer should be much larger than shown.

Yeah the second was going to be way bigger before THOSE DAMN REBELS blew it up again

Must have had one hell of a contractor to get ahead of the 800,000+ yr timeline.

Can't edit my post at work. After clicking the link you will have to scroll down to see it.

Downloaded the poster material that can be printed out on a large printer.

The chart is missing the Spaceball One and Mega Maid.

They use world production of steel as their limiting factor in the 800,000 year timeline. I’m pretty sure that the Empire would have more than one measly planet as sources of iron and other metals. Even asteroids are iron heavy. More likely the actual construction schedule would be the limiting factor. We are probably down to 400,000 years. We can do this!

Crap! I just blew up my Microsoft Project trying to put together a Gantt chart.

There isn't a chart big enough to include Spacebar One. It would make all of the other spaceships look like grains of sand.

I love this chart.

Today I learned that even nerds compare weenises.

did I miss the Borg cube? Didn't see it

I'm betting that Mega Maid could suck all the Perriair out of the Death Star.

It's there on the far right.

Most contractors would stay away from the Death Star construction job due to their personal politics.

Maybe they were building them at the same time. "Why build one, when you can have two at twice the price?"
