[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] Of course it is...just like most of what we debate on this forum. Okay, if this is a canon-only discussion, what are the canon sources for the starship lengths? As far as I know, the best on-screen, incontrovertible evidence for a ship's dimensions we have is the data display for the [i]Kobayashi Maru[/i]. However, since that vessel is never seen, it's dimensions are useless for this discussion. I can't think of anything else that gives a comparable level of data; if I'm wrong, please point it out to me and I'll be glad to admit my mistake. In any case, the ultimate source for the 288m length of the [i]Constitution[/i] (which forms the basis for the volume comparisons) is the TOS writers' guide. (Please don't point out the display with the [i]Constitution[/i] and the Klingon warship; by following links on the Starship Modeler forum, I've seen graphics which show that the display's dimensions don't match those of the filming miniature (and thus it's length data cannot be used as to compare visual effects shots for scaling)). If you accept the writers' guide figure for the length as valid, why shouldn't you accept the mass as well? Me, I'll go with Matt Jefferies, thank you very much. [/QB][/QUOTE]
