My problem with ginormous ships is the resources required to build them. Some of those larger ships would require multiple planets-worth of metal to build. The only efficient way to go at such a thing would be to become a predator--snarfing up smaller ships and smelting them down. That way other people's planets would be gutted...not yours. On the other hand, that's a kinda warlike posture to take towards other races. Not the sort of folks you'd want to invite to your block party.

 

Still...pretty cool video. Wonder where he got the dimensions and images.

I'm not interested in someone's ability to program. I'm interested in their ability to compose and play.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons the evil Empire is called "evil" in Star Wars.

If I recall correctly, Ringworld (which is at the high end of this video) was roughly equal to the mass of the contents of our solar sytsem, excluding the sun, of course. Google it's dimensions and you'll see how those materials were used.

Yamaha P515 & CK88, Pianoteq, Mainstage, iOS, assorted other stuff.

That animator did a great job - what a lot of work! Missed one of the better Stargate ships though...the BC-304, aka Daedalus class.
