[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] I did a number of size calculations. The episodes themselves offer two compelling pieces of evidence: the simulation Okudagram and the MSD comparison Okudagram. The latter scales to less than 150m, the former to about 172+/-4m. Which is correct? Fortunately, we have a couple of other pieces of evidence. Rick Sternbach mentioned (while still designing the Equinox) that the ship will have six 13' decks and two 16' decks. The Tim Earls layout does show that Decks 3 and 4 are larger than the rest, which supports the statement. I assumed that the overall deck span is 110' (=6*13+2*16), matched the figure with Earls' deck lines and got 200 +/- 9 meters. Now, the situation is not so simple - the Earls schematics show that the other decks are not equally tall, while Deck 3 is a pixel taller than Deck 4. I still equated the span of these two decks with 32 feet, and got an overall length of 179 +/- 9 meters. Finally, I set the lowest deck heights in the Earls schematics (8 pixels) equal to 10 feet. The result is 170 +/- 10m. It should also be noted that the bridge of a 110m Defiant gives a 148m Pathfinder, while the bridge of a 171m Defiant gives a 229m Pathfinder. Overall, however, it would seem to me that the canon 172m fits most of the other evidence.
