I just stumbled upon this really impressive combination of hundreds of different fictional starships, all drawn next to eachother in relative size http://dirkloechel.deviantart.com/art/Size-Comparison-Science-Fiction-spaceships-398790051

Starcraft's units, while impressive, are still dwarfed by EVE's and even Warhammer's ships in sheer size (and did you know the different battlecruiser models were quite different in size?).

Here's a comparison of starcraft units in size, too : http://i2.minus.com/idKJOHIciRf0E.jpg

What I'd like to see are some of Iain Banks ships rendered to scale as well, though they might dwarf anything in size. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_types_of_the_Culture#General_Systems_Vehicle

I am not sure if the person compiling the picture 'stole' images (that belong to the original artists and the companies that commissioned them anyway), but his presentation makes comparing things easier.

crew:280735
carries 144 tie fighters, 50 at-st,s and 24 at-at,s (no clue where they got that info, maybe they just made it up lol)

starcraft ships seem to have odd dimensions, over 2 km across for a mothership, yet its only about as wide as 15 marines in a line

Wow! Protoss needs bigger toys!^^

Still looking the coolest: Executor class super Star Destroyer!

The Warhammer ships look funny, you can see they are table top minis. Those skull ornaments were probably pretty small IRL, but then some guy decided "mine is thousands of kilometers long!!" and suddenly the skull is as big as the Imperial-I class Star Destroyer^^

The EVE ships look interesting, somewhat organic. I wonder what their story is.
