That is way more fun than it really should be, but I wouldn't trust the scale at all.

Agreed, it lacks context. Also the ships seem small, aren't they meant to be 10 miles in length or something simular?

Ya, I think the scale is off too. According to the fluff (discussed ad nauseam on various interweb BFG threads while I was paying attention to that game) imperial cruisers and battle cruisers are 3 Km in length. I believe that size was mentioned by one of the game creators as well.

Sizes , stats, etc are directly from the Rogue Trader Wh40k RPG.

What? Not a single BB in the list (or is this a failure of my mobile)?

Tangentially related, but this gave me a good chuckle when I was performing some Search-Fu for one of the best size charts I've ever seen. Shaing for everyone's enjoyment pic

The page formatting is weird. At the top left, partly covered by the map, is a drop down menu of ship classes.

I'm surprised nobody has brought up Jeff Russels's Starship Dimensions at http://www.merzo.net/

I like the merzo a lot. I have played with it a lot. However the BlackLegions link had one annoying feature (at least to my mind). The map is from up to down, but starship is from side. Does those things fly in funny angle as It would be much cooler to have the top silhouette (how the heck you spell that anyway) showing the shadow it would cast if flying above.
