Is the Imperial Light Carrier crazy huge?

By mazz0, in Star Wars: Armada

It just looks absolutely massive to me. Given its size in the cartoon (and the artwork) relative to the bombers I'd have thought it would be about as wide as CR90 is long, and just about fit inside an ISD's main docking bay!

Yes the model is way too big. Same could be said for the Pelta and Glad in relation to the MC30, but it still looks good on the table.

Old EU places it at 340 m, 15 m longer than an Arquitens, 2.3 times the length of a CR90. FFG just wanted to make another medium.

Pelta - 282m

Arq - 325m

Quasar - 340m

Glad - 500m

MC30 - 580m

Vic I - 900m

But the Quasar and Vic are medium...

It’s funny; if you look at the Quasar’s stats, it fits perfectly between the Pelta and Gladiator.

Cost: Pelta is 56/60, Quasar is 54/61, and Glad is 56/62

toughness (Hull +Shields): Pelta - 13, Quasar - 13, Glad - 13

Just wait until inflatable beach ball death star shows up. The scale buff tears will flood the earth!

I did not know it was that out of proportion. hmm.

Just so you guys know. The Quasar in Rebels is at least 500 meters long. It is pretty big.

It looks oversized yes. For me the Ton-Falk escort carrier will always remain the Imperial carrier though, so I'll never buy this model as I associate it too much with the Rebellion.

UGH. Scale nerds are the worst.

Everything is wrong. The CR90 doesn't fit in the ISD.

Looks like a medium ship to me.

Length might fit in the small ship category, but the sheer bulk of the thing makes it a definite medium.

The ship should probably be a small base but for balance issues it's a medium base just like the Gladiator class Star Destroyer should probably be a medium ship but again for balance issues I think it was made a small ship.

I think both w6 kits are a bit out.... the hammerhead is a bit oversized too.

That seems unneccasarily judgemental.

Based on it size compared to the interdictor cruiser in the season 3 rebels finale it is clearly medium. We are just being thrown off by legends cuz it was smaller

Ironic, given that the Empire is all about scale. :P

"How big was the Venator? We'll make the ISD bigger! How big was the ISD? We'll make the SSD bigger! How big was the first Death Star? We'll..."

I noticed the discrepancy between the screen and the official size with respect to the model size. I just rationalised the situation by doubling the official size to 680m. No matter what, the silver screen is the ultimate and prime source...even over the script. That is why we should have "HUTCH" not "dutch"!

Ha, I was so disappointed with this movie. I love movies like "day after tomorrow" but this one was just so bad.

Lol awww, that post made me sad when I thought about the best scene to imagine the relative sizes.
