actually inertial dampeners will remove the problem.

Counting pixels is one of the more unreliable ways to guage on screen objects where depth hasn't been tested.

Originally posted by Control_Chair View PostHaving been on these forums for a while now I have seen people debating the size of various ships in Stargate. Some argue about lengths based on scalings done from screen caps based on various episodes (however different episodes can lead to varying sizes depending which company did the CGI effects for that episode).
The other source of information is from the stargate wiki, which draws its information from the SG-1 and SGA collector’s magazines (however there is some debate as to the accuracy/canonicity of the information contained within these magazines).
However I thought it would be interesting (as I have way too much time on my hands) to compare the ship sizes from the magazine to the sizes from the Ship Scaling Sprites thread to see where the two agree/disagree and see if a general consensus can be reached regarding the size of various ships.
The Ship Scaling Sprites thread is available here

Cruiser [19]
Length –2500m (compared to the 1200m on the ship scaling sprites)
Width – 1500m
NOTE: Screen caps show that wraith cruisers are comparable in size to the Daedalus, if not a little larger, so 250m by 150m may be more accurate)
Hive ship
Unknown (11km on the ship scaling sprites)
[19] Stargate Atlantis: The DVD Collection 76
Just to make absolutely clear I am NOT saying the information on the wiki regarding ship sizes is 100% correct (I have to admit that the figures concerning the sizes of the X-302, the death glider, the Ori fighter and the wraith cruiser seem ridiculously large), I am NOT saying the ship scalings are incorrect. I am simply comparing two sources of information and inviting people to debate the information.

the magazine is wrong or wrongly quoted
oh but puddlejumperOZ's official information hunt is still somthing worth saving! IMO

I've been looking into ship sizes of SG compared to other shows. There are very few sources for SG, but this seems to be a great forum for such information. I'm not going to give my input in specific numbers, but I really question the size of some of the ships mentioned. I agree that the 302 is probably 7.5 (I know, that's a number). Ori ships: 4000 meters-or just over 2 miles- nope. That does not add up- you look at the ships on the ground with troups around it, just before their launch. Yes, it is big, but not 2 miles. And a Wraith hive: 11,000 meters- nope. That's almost 7 miles long (I don't think so). If it is that big, shouldn't just one be able to destroy the city with it's on-board weopons and Darts? Get 3 or 4 to weaken the shield fairley quickly. There would have been no war. Also, we don't get a good sense of how big these ships are from the inside, except the Puddle Jumpers, and maybe Goa'uld Cargo ships. Usually when the characters go from one part of a ship, all we see is a cut to the new location. We don't know how long it takes for them to get there. Perspective can give us a clue on Atlantis' size. Look at the gate room, the diameter of the central spire, and the hight compared to the diamter of the city. It's more than 3 kilometers.

I did a simple exercise a few days ago. As an engineer I use a CAD software on a daily basis, so this what I found. Using screen capture I got a image of the interior with Sam near a window, now we know AT is about 5'10 or so. Using this as a guide I scaled the widow aperture at around 1.5mtrs. Then with another screen capture of the exterior of the 304, using the window measurement, I scaled the ship out to approxomately 285 mtrs long, it's a bit longer than MGM's sizes, but closer than most.My FF.netStories -Stargate Atlantis Allies-Colonel Ted Hasluck Bio
