[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] Comments on the size page: 1) Rick Sternbach quoted a 2108' figure three times on the web, which, taken together with the SciPubTech figure (642.5) and that in "Making of DS9" (642) leads me rather to suppose that M. Okuda made a mistake here converting the design size, as he did in the case of the Sovereign. 2) You should probably make mention somewhere of Alex Jaeger's comment about the size of Akira (someone needs to get the exact quote, but I'm pretty sure he compared the 'size' of the two saucers. 3) Why do you take the size of a Miranda for granted, but not that of a Nebula? 4) The size of the Oberth class was given as 395 feet in the ILM charts. Although not definitive, the number might be worth mentioning somewhere. 5) The size of the Vor'cha is 481 meters only to the extent that everyone puts it at ~3/4ths the size of a Galaxy. Rick Sternbach didn't explicitly confirm the usage of a Vor'cha to measure everything, but the numbers seem to work out in this manner (did you ask him?). I've played with the notion that he knew the size of the Negh'Var as well, since he designed it, but that one is far less likely. 6) The actual figure given by Probert is 1200 feet or 366 meters; however, this is close enough. It is worth mentioning that he couldn't convince the VFX people as to the scaling, and that an AMT kit (which otherwise uses the official 360' and 4400' figures for BoP and Warbird, respectively) quotes the size at 1600' or 487 meters. 7) In a separate post, Galor was quoted at "about 1200 feet" by David Stipes. 8) Which vessel do you mean by Vulcan Warp Shuttle? There is the TMP one, which the Encyclopedia, TMP blueprints, and Fact Files place at about 48-53 meters, and there is the lander, with about the same size range. Nice job overall, might be useful to add a column such as "other sources", just in case we receive further information in the future. Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
