642 meters is fucking pussy shit

Especially for a starship carrying 1000 people. Should've been at least twice as long.

Galaxy-class my ass.

what is the point of big ships when you can just warp disposable objects into them?

A lot of that Romulan ship is empty space. The best Federation ship design was the Defiant anyways.

A garbage scow.

I was always expecting some sort of in universe explanation about the artificial singularity being in the middle somehow, but nah. Rule of cool

There's only like 1500 people on the warbird

Even if you only count the head, it's still bigger than the Galaxy.

Nimitz has over 5000 people doesn't it?

my made up kiddie tv show ship is bigger than yours

we need to bring bullies back

Klingon ships have about 12 dudes working 2 shifts.
Maybe only some submarine type ships,I don't know please don't argue I just like star trek.

And they live stacked and packed like bugs in a hive. Imagine the smell. Do you think the Enterprise ever had to deal with blood mushrooms? Yuck!

The warbird has an internal volume of like 4 world trade centers. What would so many Romulans even do in space?

Don’t forget the targ pits. Mmmm, hybrid dog/pig shit smell

laughs in high gothic

NOT EVEN THE SIZE OF A MONITOR DEFENCE JUNKER!

For me it's the battle star Galactica.
But only because the end of humanity increases my chances of make the on a pretty lady.

Does that thing also get destroyed by a Windows 95 tier virus?

OP I think that while the D'Daridex may be a gargantuan intimidator, But I get the impression the thing is about as maneuverable as a garbage truck in a quicksand pit. If you look at the fleet engagement between the dominion and the Tal Shiar fleet the Romulan fleet performed horribly (yes I understand they fell into a trap but..) It wallows around like a beached whale while while Gem haddar ships literally fly rings around them. You even see it being replaced in later shows and movies with smaller romulan designs. The executioner was a dead end admit it.

Their largest Culture vessel, the Empiricist, has a population of 13 billion people

Get rekt.

Doesn't the Enterprise have large enough docking bays 5o hold aircraft carriers?
I understand that most of this stuff is inconsistent.

a population of 13 billion people

what do they eat

But don't you want warships so large that 100 thousand people could die from a boarding action and no one 2km above them would even know for a century, until someone wondered why the lower deck tithes are running a percentage short and there's an alien civilization several generations old born in there from the original invaders that killed the servo skull running the bulkheads to leave there?

inb4 some Trek or Wars nerd talks about muh phasers/turbo lasers and don't even understand 100 Galaxy class ships couldn't even get a basic void shield to flicker out

The Death Star laser is on par with a common 30K lance battery that was attatched to frigates

I loved 40K until the muh 1 gorillion hidden space marines and primarchs coming back thing.

The bigger you are the more surface area to target for the enemy. This is why fighters exist. The big ships are for lots of crews doing science stuff. The small ships are for war.

The other 12 billion.

where does the amarr empire's avatar stand on that scale?

MORE MORE MORE BIGGER BIGGER, BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER, WHAT IF IT WAS A MILLION MILES LONG I CAN SAY A BIGGER NUMBER THAN YOU

This is why the rest of scifi doesn't respect Warhammer, it's autistic elementary schooler pseud energy

Or maybe it’s the only one that even remotely attempts to get the scale correct

why yes Starfleet is committed to defending thousands of planets. We have twelve ships

The Rock has a population of hundreds of billions. What's your point? In 40K Vaults of Terra novel, Terra has a stated nearly 200 of 1000 fold 1 trillion people (200,000,000,000,000,000).

If there's a food shortage for even an hour then the knock on effect leads to trillions dead within several days with no way to halt it, with this sometimes being deliberare to create extra corpse starch rations when the IG needs it. There's no point talking about numbers when 40K is a thing.

Yet in Star Trek Voyager they hover over a planet that is a civilization's capital "captain, the planet is destroyed!"

"My god, a million people dead!"

40k numbers if humans are left to procreate for tens of thousands of years on a galactic scale are correct. Star Trek and Star Wars population figures make no sense unless every race was stuck on a 1.2 birthrate their entire existence.

The D'Deridex also fail at the battle of Cardassia; the Romulan lines are collapsing and the battle swinging against the alliance before the Cardassians change sides and turn thing in their favour again.

Romulans are just bad at ship design efficiency.

I loved 40K until the muh 1 gorillion hidden space marines and primarchs coming back thing

What?

A super secret mega genius techpriest secretly made 100k super space marines which were much better than the ones the Emperor made but didn't tell anyone for 10,000 years because reasons. Also he was never ever mentioned before in the 500 books written previously but totally existed and had wacky adventures with all the major characters but they forgot about him.

Warhammer spends thousands of pages hundreds of books explaining why everything is the way it is

It's bigger then my franchise so it's clearly stupid and immature

No one gives a shit about starwars faggot

Nta but what are their names? That dude in particular, the techpriest

Belisarius Cawl

the enterprise would wreck a star destroyer, no cap

BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER

you got adequate logistics? then yeah, pretty much

thx

They decided to bring in a bunch of lefty authors and they weren't happy with chapter heirarchy and tradition and wanted to turn the Astartes into generic storm trooper looking guys so made some random Magos no one had heard about secretly make tens of thousands of space marines in secret that were even bigger and better.

They realized how retarded this was as basically every chapter kills anybody who finds out any of their secrets, so when they were demanded to start taking in the new marines as full battle brothers, they had to time skip the story forward to ignore the civil war that would have taken place within the galaxy from the amount of chapters who would have been deemed traitors for refusing the integration of random new battle brothers.

But yes, some random magos demanded the council on Terra decree all chapters must take in random improved space marines (better than even the Emperor could do) when the last time this was attempted every chapter turned to chaos or burst into flames or died from bad luck within a few years.

The ongoing theory at this point is they are all going to turn evil once GW has ran the stories for the Tyranids and Nekrons to their conclusion and we'll get Horus Heresy 2.0 with all the primarchs back.

Star Trek is not even 400 years into the future. And makes no statements concerning birth rates, but I doubt the liberal utopia involves sprawling families for the average federation citizen. Replicator tech is relatively new (and many other species don't have it), many planets are stated to be less fertile than earth, most species are not substantially more advanced than humans. Realistically there should be some hive planets full of some quick breeding species, but humans are not among them.

Colonists pick out a nice spot and settle there. Their settlement might grow into a city at some point but most people probably stay close to the city for the first couple of decades until every potentially dangerous animal or plant has been identified.

Its actually funny, despite how much people make fun of their fuckhuge numbers Warhammer actually STILL gets population numbers way too low.

If all of earth was covered in a megacity with the same density as Manilla, it would, by itself, have a population of around 21 trillion. Now consider that Hive cities can be the size of continents, reach from miles below the earth to well up into space, plus there's countless spaceships the size of cities, space stations, people living in enclosed colonies on normally uninhabitable worlds, worlds that have been terraformed, realistically the Imperium of Man should have a population in the quadrillions.

That kind of density doesn't make sense in the first place though. You have to ship food from all over the place to the hive, then ship the shit back. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide too. I'm not exactly sure what all those humans work at either, apparently manufacturing jobs, so ship in raw materials and ship out manufactured goods. All across light years of distance. How many agri-worlds would terra need for that? Probably ridiculously many. It would all make much more sense to distribute people where they're fed from and where the raw materials they work with are.

Of course, the imperium of man controls a ridiculous amount of planets (very realistic considering how many planets the galaxy has) so the total population would still be vast.

I'm pretty sure the blackstone fortresses were even bigger than any cruisers/battleship as well.
