What I would like to know is what size (in metres or in feet) our ships are (length - breadth and height). I realise that the body design positioning options make an exact size difficult to give, but a rough figure will help me sort out how big smaller cargo vessels (as opposed to Transport Cap ships), planetary shuttles, passenger transports, scout ships and so on need to be in order to be a reasonable scale for the Evoverse.
The other complication is that the interior versus exterior views of the cockpit give in impression of single seater fighters, but there must be space inside for sleeping, eating and relaxing for you plus up to five crew. Watching another ship enter a station shows that they look very very small compared to the station entrance - similar for one entering a jump gate. Fictional ships come in a vast array of sizes!
- Serenity from Firefly is 63m long - 40m from side to side (outside of engines) and 18m high
- The Millennium Falcon is 35m nose to tail
- The original Star Trek Constitution Class Enterprise is 289m long and Jean-Luc's Galaxy Class is 643m long
- The City Destroyers in Independence Day have a diameter of 25 kilometers (or 15 miles) and its height from the center up is of just under four kilometers, tapering out to a single kilometer on the brim.
