I did. Sort of. When playing with the escape velocity for inert natural objects (not rockets or so), which was 11 km or something, it brought me to near one teraton per second.
The fact that the hiveship cross their entire lenght in one or two frames towards the end would easily put that in several teratons per second.
Especially since the ships entering hyperspace are not blurred, like they usually do.
Honestly, no, I won't do that, because we know that ships are sucked in and spat out at fast speed, while their cruising speeds often are low.
But well, that's the power of dishonesty.

That said, we see the hiveships manoeuver before accelerating towards the window. I don't even remember this ever happening in any other hyperspace jump.
Yep. At first, the two darts rise, and they slowly increase their speed, and then, suddenly, it's like they pushed the gas pedal (we see the globe at the back get redder), they literally zap five or six dart lenghts or so in a very few frames.
Oh, on a side note. I don't know if they officialized it, but the recent artwork thread in the general forum dug an artwork showing the Wraith scout ship in comparison to a dart.
We even get an official lenght for the dart, like, err, 65 feet, which is normal, considering the pointy thing. A F-16 is like 45 feet.
In fact, we precisely get all the dimensions, safe the height, but with side profiles, we can guess them fairly easily.
You'll be pleased about the equipment that ship was supposed to get (reduced to a miserable bleeping dot in Aurora) :
Long range assault ship? See the big black things protruding out of the bow and the wings' tips?
The ones on the wings seem to focus just straight ahead of the bow. They could be sensors (there's even two of them on the back of the wings), but that pair one the bow might be weapons.
If so, they're quite big, since we don't see the gun on the dart.

Here's hoping they do someday, that's too cool of a design to waste. The only thing I would change would be the front windows, they kind of throw off the design a bit and seem way too big in general.
That's a minor gripe though.
And more about some Wraith ship, which I find extremely similar to the wall carving seen in Rising (first image provided by Prior_of_the_Ori:
We may have our massive culler ship. Though it is not indicated, it looks like it's from The Defiant One, even if it seems they used a model they already had, and buried it. At least, they buried it enough so there's still room for the new design.

In this department apparently there's also an alternate version of the hiveship that appears at the begining of letters from pegasus. It was a rejected cgi design that somehow got used in the final version of the episode anyway.
Notice the altered nose linking the two halves together and the significant differances in hull design.
It also seems to have two cruiser's docked on the wings, and maybe one on the nose as well.
No idea what the canon status of this design is. It was in the show but apparently, going by the interview I read, it was done accidently.
