    Size Comparison - Science Fiction Spaceships — artwork by DirkLoechel on DeviantArt. Published: 2013-09-07 · Likes: 41069 · Views: 9559447 · Comments: 9197



    If you regularly follow geek culture, you've probably seen early versions of Dirk Loechel's spaceship comparison chart, which shows the relative sizes of vehicles from science fiction games, movies and TV shows. Well, it's finished -- and it's even more authoritative than the last time around. Get the full-size version and you'll see Babylon 5's Vorlon Planet Killer, Mass Effect's Normandy and seemingly everything in between. The chart even includes a real vessel, the International Space Station -- at 328 feet long, it seems downright puny next to its make-believe counterparts. Some story franchises have better representation than others (EVE is full of colossal ships), and you won't see moon-sized spacecraft like Star Wars' Death Star, but it's otherwise hard to imagine a more complete view of sci-fi transportation.

    I wonder if the TARDIS is in there...

        Q: And where's TARDIS?
        A: It's both too large and too small for the chart.

              The Space 1999 ship is not there. And since they included the Gundam ships...where's Spazer? Love the poster though, great job!
