Yeah...relatively speaking.
I mean, ten kilometers is still, what, almost six miles? That'd take you about eighty minutes to walk from bow to stern at average walking pace (4mph...do your conversion to kph yourself! )

Nice bintak

As for the PK I say around 15-20 kilometre is more likely.I say this because compare the pk to the dreadnaught which is 1.3 km in lenght and the pk absolutely dwarfs it..

We all know that the CGI companies for B5 got the scales of the ships wrong on occasion which makes a single comparison reference of the VPK in hyperspace slightly unreliable. Basically you have two references in that episode - one voice reference and one visual reference. I'm sure that TBP will use whichever scale reference seems more appropriate for the mod as both sizes are feasible for a ship with those capabilities.

I think 4 miles is a better quess. In ITF we see a Sharlin right below the VPK(you can tell by the shadow) and if it was 45 or even 15 miles, the Sharlin would seem tiny compared to it. Also, it's easier to implement in the game.

And Zylonbane, B5Tech is fanfiction, they make most of the stuff up by themselves, so don't take them too seriously.

BTW another advantage of the source code, now we can actually _name_ the damn thing "planetkiller"

I know naming object as "planet" causes funny things...
But what is the problem with "planetkiller"?

What about Vorlon P-Killer then?

I think that 4-5 km works better for the game but this does not make it the VPK's actual size.
