mad_maudlin has this linked at her LJ, but there's got to be a bunch of peeps I know who'll get a huge kick out of this!

This guy has put together a visual comparison of the various starships throughout the best-known sci-fi genres, including Star Trek, Star Wars, the Stargates, BSG, Babylon 5, Farscape, and Firefly.

(On the large-scale diagram, Serenity looks teeny-tiny compared to the 1500m horror known as an Executor-class Imperial Star Destroyer...)

I hadn't seen those charts before! Here's another one that's actually to scale: Jeff Russell's Starship Dimensions.

You think Serenity is tiny? Babylon 5 looks positively petite in her comparison class.

True. I admit, I mostly looked at the ships which I knew from my shows. :)

It gives you a real good idea of the range of ships and styles, though!

Cool. And amusing.

Poor Jack O'Neill. Theirs is bigger, even if you count the Asgard O'Neill class ship.

It is both awesome and just a little bit scary, isn't it?

Oh Jack, size doesn't matter...it's how you use what you've got! ;)
