My thanks to my friend, fellow indie writer and collaborater Goran Zidar, who let me know about this chart. As fans of science fiction and space opera are sure to know, these spaceship size charts have been around for some years. They take familiar vessels from different franchises and group them according to scale. They’re cool, they’re fun; and assuming they’re accurate, it’s kind of amazing anyone took the time to actually compile the specs for comparison.
Well as it happens, this latest one claims to take every single ship from every sci-fi franchise and combine them in one infographic. Quite the claim, I know. But one look and you have to admit, its pretty jam-packed and more than a little thorough. But if you can think of something they missed, I’d be interested to hear about it. Lord knows there are plenty of geeks out there who don’t like seeing their favorite franchise get overlooked. I should know, I’m one of them!

I couldn’t find the TARDIS anywhere on that chart!
Well I’ll be damned! It’s got to be there somewhere…
If you find it let me know. I went through it with a fine-toothed comb. I didn’t see a single Doctor Who ship. And what the heck does EVE stand for? I have no idea.
Not sure, but I know its an massive online gaming thing.
That explains why I never heard of it.
