Bueatiful chart man. I agree that the Planetkiller should be larger (4100 meters sounds about right to me). The Dominion Battleship should be closer to 1200-1450 meter range (unless you're using that one shot in DS9's finale as your refrence). The Son'a battleship seems a bit small based on the Insurrection size comparison chart. The Galactica looks right although there is numerous evidence showing the ship to be only about 600 meters long (based on the launchbays and launchtubes).
Side note: any idae how large the Cardassian weapons platforms were? I may build a model of one and I want it correct.

I have no Stargate ships -- can't find any (so far).

The Death Star(s) are just too freakin' big for anything -- unless I want to add ANOTHER chart. And I don't watch enough of the kind of sci-fi where things go so far overboard...

And why is Red Dwawf STILL not on there? Hmm?
Also, the Discovery and Alexei Leonov seemed to be cloaked.
And wasn't it 2010: Odyssey Two?

Because I've still never found a decent image of the ship that I can use.

No, I just happened to be online when you posted. And when I first started the thread, I ordered e-mail notifications. There's no way to cancel them after the fact in the classic UBB setup. So even a year later, I'm getting notices of every new post to this thread... *sigh*

The size difference between Death Star I and Death Star II is big (160-165Km - 800-960Km), but you don't get just how big until you see representations. Therefore you must show them! :-)
Is the Dyson's Sphere larger or smaller than the Death Stars? I know it's got a sun in the middle of it, but surely it couldn't be as big as ours?

Uhm... assuming it was built around a G-type star like Sol and its inhabitants shared our love for Terran environments, the Dyson Sphere would have had a radius somewhere in the region of 150 MILLION kilometers, and an internal volume some 6600 TRILLION times that of the DS II... so yes, it was larger.

Note that a *real* Dyson sphere doesn't not entail a full shell around a star - rather, it's a collection of millions of planitesimals built by using the gas giants like Jupiter as raw materials. They would be mostly solar collectors with a bunch of colony habitats interspersed in between, all orbiting independently at around 1AU. The idea was to create a hypOthetical structure that could maximize the energy being emitted by a star.

Isn't the size of the Death Stars an even more hotly debated topic than the Defiant?
