Description

Here's a good sampling of the ships populating my Freelancers universe, to scale. I've included the Empire State Building on its side next to the carrier, and a 6 foot tall pilot next to the fighter for real-world scaling references. I've put the lengths below for comparisons. TOP ROW: Stalwart Heavy Cruiser -- 640 ft. (195 m) Archer Escort Carrier -- 920 ft. (280 m) Liberty Fleet Carrier -- 1,375 ft. (419 m) The Empire State Building is 1,453 feet tall. BOTTOM ROW Crossbow Fighter -- 40 ft. (12 m) Imperial Corsair -- 135 ft. (41 m) Javelin Long-range Bomber -- 148.5 ft. (45 m) Atlas Container Transport -- 200 ft. (61 m) Free Trader Medium Transport -- 250 ft. (76.2 m) Boone Scout Ship -- 295 ft. (90 m) Siena Ray Armored Transport -- 400 ft. (122 m) This is only about a quarter of my designs, but it's a good representation of different sizes. Enjoy, hope that helps, and let me know what you think.

Hey! I like that: a flying Empire State Building!! heh! Does make one realize that even the smaller ships are pretty huge.

Thank you! Now all you need to do is to put a wave-motion engine on the Empire State building! :) And Kier_99 is right: the inclusion of a real-world object shows the scale better than numbers can do.
