When it comes to spaceships, size matters.

Just thought this was neat for anyone who's obsessed with science fiction. This website compares sizes of different fictional spaceships throughout various genres. Finally you can see how a star destroyer compares to a galaxy class ship. Or which is bigger, Unicron or the Death Star.

But it only takes one X-Wing to destroy a Death Star!

Yeah what the heck is with that? I mean seriously did the engineers really overlook that HUGE of a flaw?
"Hey boss, I just noticed that this small thermal exhaust port can cause a chain reaction that will blow up the entire project."
"Damit Wilson! We're on a deadline, we'll just send in a change order later and have the contractors fix it."
And we all know how long it takes contractors to fix things after their done building. Guess it was a big enough window to allow the rebels to blow it up. Actually now it seems quite feasible.

Thanks gorgon, I actually had this site bookmarked to post later on, but now you've saved me the trouble.

Well that was fun. To bad they didn't have Voyager or the enterprise ships in there for reference. At least I didn't see any.

Wow, don't I feel like a loser. I was looking for ship names, not classes. WOW.
