The size and comparative scale of ships in the HW universe

Bump

Homeworld 1 ships are definitely not true to scale. Specifically strike craft.

I always figured that the Homeworld 2 ships were more correctly to scale, which was why strike craft built in squadrons instead of individuals.

Once upon a time I was re-building the Homeworld ships to put into Freespace 2, and I took the 25.6 km length of the Scaffold as the canonical size, and tried to work backwards from there. Suffice it to say, a 26km mothership is huge when viewed from a fighter’s cockpit.

Considering the horizon for the average person at ground level is under 5km away, yea 26km is huge :smile:
