[Andrew Boulton]

Scale is 10px/metre.

Now that's useful

Thanks Andrew

It would be more useful if we knew what those things all were... I can only identify about half of them. Please give an appropriate label, plus its tonnage rating. A top-view wouldn't hurt either; some of these things are a lot bigger than this page would suggest.

All in all, good effort!

 

[Malenfant]

Huh. The Broadsword is a lot smaller than I thought it was.

 

[Fritz_Brown]

Yes, very useful. I agree with DS, though about the labels and the top views. (Scale=? Is it one square per meter?)

Good job, BTW, on lining up the background grid and the actual pix.

Nice work, Andrew!

Heh! That's where I thought I was, and couldn't figure out why I couldn't arrange the ships!

put in a tigress PUT IN A TIGRESS!!!

 

[Spinward Scout]

I wouldn't mind if someone could reproduce the silhouette chart from the back of the Starship Operator's Manual and add in some more ships (such as the Tigress). That was a great chart.

What program did you use do make those?

Nice page. Remember the happy fun ball has a lot more verticle space so it looks smaller than you think, the volume looks pretty much spot on.

Well, of course, the 747,
A man, an air/raft, some cargo containers (I suspect 2Td and 16Td)
Lifeboat
Modular cutter
Type S
Type R
SDB
Type A2
Happy Fun Ball, small size. (Mercenary Cruiser)

 

[GypsyComet]

That isn't an A2. That's a ship that was designed and imaged here on these boards.

The class is Lanthium Petal, an 800ton flattened sphere merchanter found here.

There used to be a larger Traveller ship comparison chart running around the Web somewhere, and it was centered around a Tigress...

Nice work, Andrew.

I have a screengrab somewhere of boxes at various dTon volumes up to 10,000 with a variety of celebrity starships for comparison. This is much more interesting to look at.

That's where I got the idea.

Heh, I've just noticed we've both used the same 747 model!

You're right about the labels. I'll add them.

It has crossed my mind...

 

[mike wightman]

Page 100 of GT:Starships should help do that

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Yup. Trouble is, it'd be about 2000px wide...

 

[Rossoneill]

Nice helps me Gauge sizes
Good work Andrew

 

[Andrew Boulton]

Now updated in a big way.

I may do a 1px/m page with a Tigress and AHL later.
