Hi-ho everybody! Micah again, here to talk about ship sizes, and how we’re going to compare one ship to another. With a quick and simple formula we can use the dimensions of any ship to determine its enormity. We call it... the enormity scale!
The chart on the right is an example of what I’m talking about. I used dimensions from a couple of familiar ship designs, which I got from a fun website called Merzo. Using the length, width, and height of these ships we can get a generalized enormity (the list of numbers on the left) which we can use to compare to the rest of the ships. With this much simpler scale people can get a quick sense of size, for any ship, really fast.
