Eclipse class SSD is forever best ship
Apparently Gol Boddole Zer Mobile Fortress is 600km, so way to big. That's purtty big.

The Death Star should have its own listing in a corner somewhere, unless I missed it.
Also, where is Firefly's Serenity? I can't find it. Surely it's there somewhere!
This is amazing. Thanks for sharing it.
It's an embodiment of the feeling you get from some of these designs.

Bottom left quadrant somewhere. It's tiny.

It's also bigger than everything in this picture combined by a lot.

Death Star is not a ship.
More like, where is Mantle's Approach which is just as big (if not bigger) than the Death Star.
And before anyone says anything, yes, Mantle's Approach is enormous. And the size has been confirmed as legit by 343i themselves.
Length: 142.7 kilometers (88.7 mi)
Width: 138.6 kilometers (86.1 mi)
Height: 371.4 kilometers (230.8 mi)

The Didact's ship laughs at Death Star before Composing them all. >we had this in the Pics that don't make you laugh but are still cool thread;

I think this is the 4th thread on this subject and 2nd starting with this person's chart. Still not sure this has everything to scale yet. Mass Effect stuff is at the bottom now instead of the top and can be found easily if you look for the Crucible.

Someone tell me if there are any Mass Effect Reapers in the pic, they must be so small that I can't find them.
Near the bottom-middle.

Goddamn, it's good to see Freespace in there. Just seeing the sathanas and the colossus is giving me flashbacks.

Here's my approximation of this image alongside the Death Stars:
Scale is 1px = 1km, based on Wikipedia's maximum diameters of the Death Stars.
No, that's way off. Go here, it has the comparison.

Yeah, I've just seen a similar article. I went with Wikipedia, which was listing a 900km diameter for DS2. I'll update it.

Even in extreme sci-fi fantasy lore, that's...humanly impossible to even imagine lol. It's a goddamn planet.

No tree ship from Saga!?
According to http://www.theforce.net/swtc/ds/index.html The official number is 160km (100 exact miles), and not 900 km as some estimates are led to believe. Tis image looks pretty accurate. It's crazy how big the Death Star is.... now if we can have a version with Ringworld.... that would be nuts!

This is the site I am most familiar with when it comes to space ship size comparisons.
Pro-tip: at -2000X, the background depicts the moon at scale.
The Halo thingie, Ringworld, and Dyson Sphere are the only things bigger than it.

This makes me think they messed up the proportions of the trench scenes in Star Wars. If it really is that big, then there should be tons of room in the trench for the X-wings. They make it look like a tight squeeze in the film. I choose to believe the Death Star is not that big.

Add High Charity to the list. That thing is huge.

Where? I'm not seeing it. Are you sure you're just not confusing it with the Explorer class ship? Besides, if they were going to feature a station from B5, it should have been Babylon 4 - it was over twice the size IIRC and had engines making it capable of moving on its own.

What about the Halo Ring s themselves? Or the Ark from Halo 3
Next to the Walle Buy'N'large ones like down and a smidge to the left.

Not the same trench. This is what the equatorial trech should look like

Not the same trench. It was just a longitudinal trench somewhere in the northern hemisphere of the Death Star. The big equatorial trench is home to the hangar bays, engines and such. It can be seen when the Millennium Falcon is being dragged in by tractor beam.
Humanity is so fucked in the Freespace universe, lol

Killed by a goddamned Dredgeling
If that is the case, what is the range on their planet killing laser thingy? I always saw it as a mobile threat, and not something that just hung out in the galaxy with the capability of sniping rebel planets from anywhere.
On the other hand, if it is a ship, where are the engines? Every other Star Wars ship has massive visible engines.
Actually, it's officially classified as an Eclipse class Star Dreadnought. The term Super Star Destroyer only took off because of what Ackbar said during the Battle of Endor.
