But this is using the old, incorrect measure of Galactica’s size. It isn’t 615 meters long, it’s over 1200 meters long.
Makes the new Enterprise puny.

Ok looked up some specs on the original and did the math. Found an image of the cross section on the new(old)enterprise. It supposedly has 34 decks (give or take) TOS had 21. According to the technical manual, TOS was 72.6 meters tall, giving roughly 3.5 meters per deck. Keeping that figure we multiply by 34 to get a height of 117.4 meters. Adjusting size percentages gives a length of 467m, just 61.8% bigger then TOS. All in all it’s not that much bigger.

i call bullshit, i think they pulled that number out of their asses.

if it has to be bigger i'd make it 400 meters longer at most.

this really bothers me
