SPACESHIPS!!!!!!

[H. P. L.]

It isn’t often that Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer, or Battlespace Galactica are in the same galaxy, let alone the same planetary system. But here they all are in one giant visualization. Compiled by DeviantARTist Dirk Loechel, this visual compendium of sci-fi spacecraft collects what seems to be every single ship in the history of the genre, from film (Starship Troopers, Independence Day) and television (Babylon 5, Red Dwarf) to video games (Halo, EVE), anime (Robotech), and books (Star Wars: Expanded Universe). Space, it seems, isn’t lacking in cool.

Culling wiki pages and fan sites for accurate dimensions and images, Loechel assembled his constellation of starships as a simple comparison table to gauge the respective ambitions of fictional space civilizations. At times, he writes on his profile, he came across conflicting measurements, forcing him to pick between the inconsistencies. Safe to say, there is a slight margin of error here, but don’t let it distract you from zooming in and pouring over each of the ships.

Kudos to the artist for including Ulysses 31 spaceship! That was one fine ship. And the computer voice was sexy as hell.

It isn’t often that Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer, or Battlespace Galactica ...

A very cool chart though. Thanks for sharing, H.P.L. :)

Neat. It was nice to be able to compare so many series with one another. The attention to detail making sure that so many ship models from each series being represented is awesome.

 

I'm not that surprised that so many Warhammer 40K ships are among some of the largest on that chart. They need to justify the extension that is that game SOMEHOW.
