Hi Everyone!
I'm not sure if this topic has been covered in another thread, but if it was, I was not able to find it. So if it has already been discussed, I apologize.
I have, on other boards and around the internet, heard people make all kinds of wild claims about Destiny's size...everything from "its one the largest ships we've ever seen on any Stargate series" to "it's got to be bigger than a Hive Ship". While it is difficult, due to the limited number of exterior shots and the often weird camera angles, to say with 100% certainty exactly how big the Destiny really is, I am, however, convinced that it is nowhere close to being one of the biggest ships we've ever seen in Stargate, nor do I believe that it is even a particularly large ship whatsoever. After re-watching all of the episodes of SGU thus far, and considering all visible surface details, such as window placements, and comparing things like Destiny's shuttles (which are at most 20m, but more likely closer to 15m long) to other surface structures and in turn using those to calculate the ship's overall length, I've now feel quite comfortable saying that I believe the Destiny to be no more than 1000m long, and possibly as small as 500m or 600m.
So I was just wondering if anyone else here has made any serious attempts (as apposed to just speculation or impression) to scale Destiny, and if so, what figures you have come up with?
