Personally I think the Whitestar is waaay too big.

Oh, my aching head...

The Whitestar at 475m?! What is this guy smoking?

Oh wait, he's right, 475.6m is the ship's 'official' length according to Tim and approved by JMS, I forgot. That reminds me of how silly I thought the size was, though.

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

That would make the Whitestar larger than the Excelsior!

Buuuuulllllshiiiit!

I say mabye 220-250 meters long, tops.

Posted by David Templar (Member # 580) on :

Yeah well, 475.6m is suppose to be official. Keep in mind this is B5, and JMS was never really one for caring about technical consistancy.

Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :

Yeah, as evidenced by the Sharlin class...

Oh, and the size that chart gives for the Victory is off by 1000 meters. B)

PS: no Warlock?

No Dominion Battleship either.

Posted by Brian Whisenhunt (Member # 1095) on :

No Death Star either. Or the alien ships from ID4. Or the Space Battleship Yamato....of course it would be the same as the IJN one.... Or the Planet Killer that Kirk nuked......etc....

Maybe the Defiant will be totally at home here, then. For once. [Smile]

If yo look really really close, you can see the A-Wing that destroyed the Executor....
No, wait...that was just a mote of dust. [Big Grin]
