So I was playing around on Google Earth the other day and I started finding eve ships loitering around the world, how odd.

Hulk flying over the Statue of Liberty
Nyx checking out Paris
Thorax visiting Sydney Harbour
Since the new preview window has come out we now know how big all the ships and stations are in eve. But it's nice to know your Hulk is 660m long but unless you've got something 660m long to compare it to (even I'm not that big) it makes it hard to visualise. So I've ruled some lines in Google Earth to get the exact measurements and placed the ships on top. Enjoy the pics, I might make some more later on if you really want. |

Great idea! I've always wondered how an Eve ship would look in our world.
However, can you make them at somewhat of an angle, or multiple angles? Looking top-down doesn't really show the altitude, especially on the huge ships. |

This pic is actually quite disturbing, really makes one realize how ridiculously big Titans actually are.

Can this be confirmed, because imo that is what these shops have going for them. If they are not correctly scaled there is little point. If they are in scale though, its a great job at displaying the size and relativety of EVE ships.

I checked the size of the ships in the preview window then drew a line (you can see the measurement in each pic) with google earth and scaled the ships down to cover the line exactly. That's about as accurate as I can make it. |

The trick is that the "axis length" on the preview window isn't exactly the scale. Very close, but not exactly. I think in the ship charts made the scale was measured from the model file.
EVE Online Ship Chart - Apocrypha Edition
Edit: Oh, on the very lower left of the ship chart you can see the Eiffel Tower from Paris(, France) for scale. |

Thread turned out to be considerably better than expecting, thanks I enjoyed those pics, scale seems pretty good.
Wouldn't have been a great day to sunbathe in the yard though.

because they are at a national park which is 1.0 NYC during the day. now Harlem at night, a Titan could end up on blocks there by morning if left unlocked.
now we just need a Jove ship at Area 51. |
