Erm, are we arguing about what the biggest made up space ship is, with a chart !!!!?!?

Wow.
I like these charts but I know I'm no where near being a proper geek when I can't get my head around where they got the supposed data or came to the theories of the scales involved. This appears to be without generating mass internet arguments either.

Some great ones I forgot about here, can't believe I forgot about Flight of the Navigator! Don't remember seeing one of these yet:

i always wondered seeing as the romulans only ever had a fleet of warbirds how they didnt invade the federation with their fleet of 4 galaxy class ships a raft of kirk era excelsior class ships and a bunch of outdated science ships.

8 pages in and no one has mentioned Omega Class Destroyers from Babylon 5? Looked fantastic as they came through the jump gate firing all weapons.

Wow, presumably Brains spent a weekend on the spanners to boost the engine capability enough to break out of the Earth's atmosphere!

Since the thread title does not specify fact or fiction, I would go with this one, as it has also starred in a number of TV dramas and films.



And I don't want to hear any hoax nonsense either.

Anyone else remember seeing Mat Irvine's name on all the sci-fi programmes?

Here is his homepage. Well worth a look with loads of models (Not CGI stuff!).

Saw him wandering around Telford this weekend. He had his Blakes 7 ship on display. It is a LARGE model.

Those charts are very cool,I think the biggest ship would be the ID4 Mother ship, that deployed the city destroyers.

"We estimate it has a diameter of over five hundred and fifty kilometers and a mass roughly one fourth the size of our moon."

Now, that's big.
