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/
