Ship Size Comparison Chart
I am currently working on a project and I am going to need a ship size comparison chart. I wanted to avoid just going into space with each spaceship and taking pictures relative to another ship, as this is incredibly time consuming and poses difficulties in being accurate.
However, the JOSSH Database has a 'size' listing for each ship, listed in UCS. I don't know what a UCS is as a unit of measurement, but we're only comparing these ships to each other, so it could work. If the UCS is a measurement of 'length', I can use this. I can crop an image of the ship to the edges, then change the size of the image by giving 10 pixels per each UCS unit.
I've attached the result. There are a few discrepancies I need to work out, as I did not figure out some camera problems in JGShipCreator until I was nearly finished. But for the most part, the sizes seem correct. The only one I had a major problem with was the Solrain Transport. I've pointed it out, as it is measured in UCS. Just above and to the right, you can see the adjusted Transport. I took some screenshots and corrected it.
If any others look incorrect, please let me know. I'm not familiar with all of the ships exactly, maybe you know something I don't. Screenshots are appreciated, and I'll do what I can to re-measure them to the appropriate sizes. Thanks!
