[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Shadow: [QB] "Actually, most VFX scenes don't exclude the possibility the Akira is actually longer than 400m. 'Message in a Bottle' shows the Akira next to the Defiant, whose size is in dispute as well and the evidence is even much more contradictory. Under the assumption that the most recent VFX size of 170m for the Defiant has been used, the Akira would be longer than 400m." Show me a scene where the Defiant isn't 120m, or that the 170m length has ever been used by anyone on the show. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] "Assuming a standard deck height of 3.4m as on most starships seen so far the Akira would be 440m. There is no reason to assume that the Akira is an exception, and further evidence points to about the same length." Well, if the Akira is a warship, it might have smaller decks. "In the lower left corner of the above image the Akira top view from this book is scaled to the Sovereign so that the two bridge modules are matched. The result is surprising, since the Akira would be only 272m long, much less than the minimum deck height allows, but about the same size that is allegedly used for VFX, according to David Stipes." It wasn't that small when I compared the bridges. (http://frankg.dgne.com/sfsd/akiralength/sa-scale.jpg) But, we have no reason to think that either the escape pods or the bridges are similar (although realistically the Akira bridge should be about the same size as the Sovereign's, if not smaller).
