They took the scale from B5tech? Oh I hope the scales there are more accurate than the rest of the site (considering the author made almost everything up)..
I wonder if I could ever manage to serve as a mirror for this "mysterious library" in the event of, say...an apocalypse or two? People in the future want new B5, too!

B5Tech's author should be a little more clear as to what is canon and what is "fiction". Perhaps he could take a lesson from [url]http://www.ditl.org[/url]. He at least puts canon information in yellow and his fiction in white.
With that said, however, B5Tech does seem to be very good at scaling. The author provides fairly detailed articles and visual evidence to back up [i]those[/i] claims, at least.
the Daystrom Institute is a wonderful site and a perfect example. Some articles have as many as five distinct coding techniques to indicate the various levels of canon that can apply to the content. Damned near perfect.

Except for when he inexplicably changed his mind and decided the 500 meter White Star was perfectly sensible. Now we're going to be stuck with it forever, won't we?
Personally, I go with [url=http://meshweaver.com/Craft_Comparisons/Craft_Comparisons_1.htm]Fabio's scaling study,[/url] since it looks right.
That looks great, and he did a great job hypothesising the different lengths and proving his theory. Even if they are a theory, its proven, rather than the baseless hypothesies made by the guy at B5tech..

I can't say if the scales at b5tech.com make sense, because I never intensely dealt with this topic, but there are explanations how achieving the scale informations at b5tech.com, too. Footers on the ship description sites or [url]http://www.b5tech.com/science/scale/scale.htm[/url]
Im impressed, he has finally started proving his hypothesies, rather than just stating they are correct, and it looks so much better than it did only 2 - 3 years ago. Maybe he did something right this time around. :)

It is nice to know we finally have flying cars by the 2260s, of course it also looks like Honda is still using the same design studio...

Hope so too ;)
