Having never played SW Armada, I was wondering what the physical size of some of the ships are. I ask because I am working on my own rules set that would be generic enough to allow any ship from any franchise to be used, whether that be Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlefleet Gothic, Babylon 5, or Battlestar Galactica.

The ship that I am most interested in is the Victory class Star Destroyer. What is the length of this model?

Also, if anyone has any other quick measurements of other ships that would be great.

I can help you out.

The Victory Star Destroyer is 5" long. The Interdictor is 6" long. The Imperial Star Destroyer is about 7 and 3/4 of a inch. Correllian Corvette is about 2.25". The MC30 is 4". The MC80 is a hair over 6.5".

Of course note that your system would be trying to hack some stuff together that is wildly out of scale. Like, any 40k ships would be massively larger than the Star Wars ships. A typical 40k battleship class ship would be about a meter long if you used it to scale with Star Wars ships. And Star Trek ships would be much smaller than Star Wars ships.

I'm planning on covering the different size of vessels in the rules. Star Trek ships would usually be on the smallest end of the spectrum, with BFG ships on the largest end. Starwars, Battlestar Galactica, and Babylon 5 in the middle.

Where is our pirate ship miniature game with Armada movement / firing arcs?!

I curious is there any relevant Star Trek ship models that would be close in scale to Armada? Star Trek attacking wing or Micromachines would be about half the size they should be compared to the ISD.

This is supposed to be a bit of suspension of disbelief, so if there are a little bit of scale gaps, it's not totally huge. Also, let's say you have a Micro Machines Victory Star Destroyer and an Armada Victory. Just say the smaller ship is a Victory an the larger ship is a super Star Destroyer. It's close enough everyone would know what it is.

Looking forward to seeing more as I mess about with various starship games...... Model ship classes tend to be about the same so a large captial ship in BFG is about the same as one in Babylon 5 or Dropfleet, Crusiers and Frigates again match each other in scale - even if they are radically different in actual size in "real life". As most games state the model is abstraction of what would be a very tiny object in space - it would work fine.

I ahev played games of 40K vs Babylon 5, Trek vs 40K and others using BFG, Full Thrust and ACTA systems - all worked and were good fun.

From my extensive fleets

Emperor Class Battleship (BFG) = 5" long , 2 1/2 " high, 2" across
Dauntless Class Light Cruiser (BFG) = 3" long, 1 1/2 high. 1" across
Space Marine Battle Barge = 5" long, 1 3/4 " high, 2" across

Victory (Babylon 5) = 6" long, 3" high, 4" across
Sharlin (Babylon 5) = 3" long, 3 1/2" high, 2" across
Warlock (Babylon 5) = 5 1/2 " long, 1 " high, 1 3/4" Across
Vorchan (Babylon 5) = 2" long, 1 3/4 high, 2" across

Event Horizon = 7"long, 1 1/2" high, 2" across

Wait... they made an Event Horizon model? Oooooh...

Full Thrust... I should give that another spin. The newtonian movement rules were very cool, if completely hard to wrap our minds around at first.

I am terrible with pre-plotting......

The Event Horizon was a non official model - its very cool
