list of ship sizes in fiction. best to look at it after you can save it and zoom in

anonviking (12/07/2015) [-] I was studying this picture looking for something, before i saw the Forerunner dreadnought, and realized all the ships in the image
could fit inside the dome of High Charity, if they are all the right scale that is.

cdm (12/08/2015) [-] It's so weird seeing stuff that's designed to be intentionally comically large (Futurama's Nimbus) as just a tiny little blip. Also, this. "Man, our super-awesome battleship got btfo. We should make a new one. Like, 20x larger." Hell, I think their next-gen mechs were like half the size of their 3rd gen battleship. Now that's a bit of a jump for one generation.

angelious (12/08/2015) [-] nah..it wasnt anime. i think it was a sci fi book series..was pinned as one of the top contenders for strongest sci fi of all time due to the fact that the ships in question could spawn new universes and generally **** with time and **** like that...i did try to search for it in obd, but it went through another reset lately so most of the threads are missing...

Dragonchampion ONLINE (12/09/2015) [-] I think that it's supposed to be "mile" rather than meters. A bit odd, but I think its size might be only mentioned as that in Star Trek. I don't know though, I have only seen the first Star Trek movie (with the earth probe that gains sentience and brings back data for Earth)

blademontane (12/08/2015) [-] I figured it was, expecially when I looked at the top comment pic, and found the Borg cube on there.

masdercheef (12/08/2015) [-] I must say it pleases me to see plenty of Halo stuff throughout there. Even if the most notable part of its presence is due to the overpowered nature of the Forerunners' building capabilities.
#29 to #27

masdercheef (12/08/2015) [-] I should add, it really put things in perspective to see a DC-77 next to the Millennium Falcon. The Falcon definitely looks huge when in the company of TIE fighters and X-Wings but the fact that it's fairly similar in size to one of the smallest pieces of UNSC spacefaring equipment only the Open Frame 92/Extra-Vehicular Activity (Booster Frame), the YSS-1000 Prototype Anti-Ship Spaceplane (Sabre), and F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter (Broadsword) being smaller, if I remember correctly. This list only including manned UNSC combat vehicles capable of spaceflight under their own power, as civilian or noncombat vehicles have a much wider range in size in both universes, and the ODSTs' Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle (SOEIV) pods, while much smaller, are simply dropped from a larger ship and "fly" as well as a brick would.

sgtmajjohnson (12/08/2015) [-] "For a brick, he flew pretty good."
-My account's namesake.
Also, I believe the Sparrow-hawks were smaller as well? Though they're not currently fielded in the Halo Universe.

masdercheef (12/08/2015) [-] They're not spaceworthy, though, as they operate on a ducted fan system similar to the AV-14 Hornet.
#216 to #214
-
masdercheef (12/08/2015) [-] Ooh, yeah, Issue 4 of Halo: Escalation. There were AV-22 Sparrowhawks used in that attack on Infinity but it's not clear whether they were inside the ship or outside - the Infinity was certainly not in-atmosphere, though, so any use of the AV-22 must have either been inside of the ship itself, somehow, or the artist simply took some license with it or did not fully understand what the AV-22 is supposed to be.
#218 to #216
-
sgtmajjohnson (12/08/2015) [-] Yeah, if I was wrong about it, sorry. Halo Wars is the only Halo game I haven't played, so I only know of the Sparrow-hawk from Escalation and reading on the wiki.
#219 to #218
-
masdercheef (12/08/2015) [-] Nah, it's fine. I mean, there might be some way it's explained in-canon that the Sparrowhawk can operate out of atmosphere. There are tons of gaps in the lore, anyway.
#220 to #219

anon (12/08/2015) [-]
I still love the lore, though. It's less flawed than most fictional universes, because it's more minor inconsistencies/continuity issues than the major logical lapses inherent in many fictional worlds. For some reason, I'm really drawn to the Spartan III's (obviously II's are my favorite, don't worry), specifically Alpha and Beta company over Gamma. There's something about that sacrificial program that interests me, though not necessarily in a good way.
#224 to #223
-
sgtmajjohnson (12/08/2015) [-] I think that's partially canonical, because a ton of Gamma survived. We know Lucy and Tom from Beta Company later joined Blue Team, Jorge-052 joined a team that's almost entirely Spartan III's, Kurt Ambrose led the Spartan III's, and Jun-A266 headed the Spartan IV program, so there's precedent for integration into other Spartan programs. They wouldn't make up most of them though, because there are so many IV's (500 on Infinity alone, I think, while Spartan III companies were just over 300 strong).
#225 to #224
-
masdercheef (12/08/2015) [-] Yeah, something about what I said sounded off when I posted the comment. Considering just how many qualified soldiers, marines, ODSTs, sailors, and airmen who would jump at the chance to join the Spartan program, there would probably still be a decent amount of IIIs but definitely nowhere near the majority.
I'm sure they still hold somewhat of an advantage over the recruits, though, as would any former Spartan personnel.

sgtmajjohnson (12/09/2015) [-] Plus, model III augmentations were much more extensive than model IV's.

For those whole like comparing metal objects of the anime variety.

geothermal (12/08/2015) [-] The ark is a fully functional spacecraft of sorts, it can move own its own command and even enter slipspace. Doing so however, would decimate the entire surface of the ark.

nustix (12/08/2015) [-]
Pandemic horde is for everbody and does have fleets, the idea is basically if we can get 200 people in ****** ships we can most likely kill one large ship. You don't anything even trials can join, the coorperation will give you your first ship and skillbooks. It's run by experienced players and mostly inhabited by players who want to have a good time without worrying about mandotory ops or some ******** like that.
We also do a lot of *********** gif is relevant.

nustix (12/08/2015) [-] Merlin are used for newbie flights in pandemic horde, I personally fly around in slasher which are just as cheap as a merlin to tackle people (making sure they can't fly away). It's a really important role and really fun to do.
As for the economic side, I can't make that decision for you. Getting enough money to buy plex is what a lot of people try to do immediatly but you will most likely fail. I am just here to tell you the game is not as intimidating and time consuming as people make you believe.

nustix (12/08/2015) [-] Eve is not fighting about large spaceships I will make a list for what eve is really about:
- A feeling of supriority over people who don't play Eve, because others think it's boring or too hard to get into
- Dank memes
- ***********
- *********** dank memes
- Killing a ship that someone took hundreds of hours to get with your ****** ship that is worth 1/100000th of what his ship is worth.

gunmandude ONLINE (12/08/2015) [-] That is still not that large on the scale of things. The second death star is basically a smaller version of our moon.

lapsushominum ONLINE (12/08/2015) [-] Ringworld. I haven't read the books but the gist of it is it's an enrmous ring constructed with a radius such that it's within the habitable zone of a star. The entire thing rotates to create artificial gravity and the barriers near the middle rotate to create day/night cycles. The entire thing is 93 million miles in radius, with a livable surface area 3 million times greater than Earth's

sgtmajjohnson (12/08/2015) [-] You ain't the only one. Me, and I believe huntergriff, do too. Halo 3 has the best version of the main theme. Those monk chants, man. Give me chills.
#187 to #186
-
sgtmajjohnson (12/08/2015) [-] TY based huntergriff, for not giving in to mindless 343 bashing. You've been the one remotely sane one on most of your posts.
#190 to #187
-
huntergriff (12/08/2015) [-] God, you should see the actual Halo 5 forums. It's nothing but people throwing a **** fit and saying halo's dead like they have since halo 2.
#194 to #190
-
sgtmajjohnson (12/08/2015) [-] Yeah, I remember that. It's why I don't use the forums. I joined my Spartan company (it's a bunch of tryhard fags, but they're alright, and my K/D is a 4.9 in Halo 5 with a 3.2 in MCC so I didn't have trouble getting in), then I just gave up on waypoint for anything other than 343's official material. I LOVE the expanded lore almost as much as the games, so I can't avoid Waypoint entirely.
#195 to #194
-
huntergriff (12/08/2015) [-] That's what I did too. Some parts of the forums are okay though, like the community creations and halo universe part of the forums. Other than that it's cancer.

sgtmajjohnson (12/08/2015) [-] Holy **** , you nearly gave me a heart attack. I'm loving Warzone, though. More than Arena, which surprises me. My best K/D in any Halo before this was 61/2 during CTF, now I regularly go 30+ and 0 (just counting Spartan kills, cause I ain't no scrub) playing Warzone.
