BRIAN J NOGGLE MAXES OUT HIS GEEK CRED
By posting a link to this chart which visually compares the sizes of ships from such SciFi classics as:
Star Wars
Star Trek
Babylon 5
Farscape
Battlestar Galactica
2001: A Space Oddyssey
2010: The Year We Make Contact
Galaxy Quest
Starship Troopers
Space: Above and Beyond
V
Lexx
Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda

I wanna write a game like that some day. :)
Maybe I missed it, but is the Jupiter 5 on there? I didn't see it!
I ran across this a few months back. I found a better one. Go to www.merzo.net if you use IE you can move the ships for comparison.
Look under 1X “real” .
