Just poppin' my ugly head in for the first time in a few months.
I'm somewhat out of the loop and I've only glimpsed at a couple of screen caps and havent seeen the episode yet. Has anyone made a gues-stimation on the length of the Andorian ships yet?

Probably about 300-325 meters at a guesstimate. The ships mostly wing though.

That Defiant bridge does have one hell of a lifespan doesn't it.

I think we might be able to infer a maximum size of the Andorian ship, however -- because we know the maximum possible size of the Xindi sphere (the width of one of the NX-01's launch bays).
So, it seems to me that the Andorian ship would actually be smaller than the NX-01... or at the most, only about the same length.

1. I think the reason that chick looks so familiar is that she has this Tina Fey (Saturday Night Live) thing going on . . . 'cause I Googled her to hell and gone but found nothing else I've watched (indeed, not much of anything at all), but she looks very familiar anyway.
2. The Andorian ship is generally represented as much longer than Enterprise, though its so slender that it might not have much more volume. In any case, there had to have been a scale problem with the weapon capture shot, because otherwise the Andorian ship would've had to have sufferred shrinkage.
Alternately, the weapon really was that big, and Archer was just being weird for thinking they could hold that thing.
