Good video, fun channel. But it unearthed a memory in me: does anyone else remember a website, probably from a while back, that let you superimpose various sci-fi ships over Google Maps? I swear this was a thing, and it was great for getting a sense of scale of these ships.

What other visual aids for ship scale have you come across?

You can ask whether or not the D was too big, but the fact of the matter is that the D was as big or small as the plot needed it to be, even if it went against previous episodes. In some episodes it was a vast ship full of a maze of corridors. In others, it was a ten second walk from the bridge to engineering.
