Largest Space Ships in Science Fiction Films

[@herranton]

The Death Star should really be classified as a ship. It has engines and moves under it's own power. The shape shouldn't matter.

[@Lonewolf-dy5yb]

It may not be a moon..... but is definitely not a ship..... if a Borg cube didn't make the list even though it is a mass-produced capital ship

[@herranton]

@@Lonewolf-dy5yb The Borg cubes were only 3 kilometers wide and would just miss the cut for this list. The Death star is substantially bigger. I guess it is probably more of a space station or a base but it is just as mobile as anything else. In Star trek you don't really see the space stations moving around, like ds9 or spacedock that orbits earth.

[@Lonewolf-dy5yb]

Star Trek's living ship V'ger was 1.2271×1010 kilometers or 0.001 light years, long, which equates to 82 astronomical units. However, that would mean it would destroy the solar system with it's gravity coming even close, so in later releases they cut it down to 2 astronomical units, roughly earth's orbit around the Sun. The bigger figure is still canon, though.

you fail to realize that a bigger ship would mean a larger, more powerful shield generator, more armor, more ground troops to deploy, more fighters and bombers to deploy, and just overall more firepower whereas a smaller ship would be the opposite. While smaller ships may be better for small alliances that use hit and run tactics similarly to the rebellion in the original trilogy, larger, more powerful ships are better for major military superpowers like the galactic empire and the harvesters.

[@grand-dadmiral]

@@chaosbros7744 And look where those big ships got the Empire and the Harvesters. Having a large ship because your Empire is big is solely ostentatious and impractical. The Executor-class for example, was utterly useless regardless of "more armour, stronger shields, more firepower" unless in a special set of circumstances. SSD Executor - Destroyed at the Battle of Endor by starfighter assaults conducted by Blade and Green Squadrons combined with bombardment by smaller MC-80 Star Cruisers. SSD Ravager - Downed at the Battle of Jakku, rammed by smaller Starhawk-class Battleship. SSD Lusankya - Damaged and surrendered to New Republic control at the Battle of Thyferra by a space station and a smaller cruiser. The common trend in these is that in all instances, several smaller starships with the ability to manoeuvre as well as fire far outclass the Executor regardless of its intensified forward firepower, heavy armour and shields. A fleet of smaller ships is by far more tactically advantageous than one, eggs-in-basket super-dreadnought the size of Manhatten or larger, though arguably, it still looks damn cool on the big screen.

I think they would win the day if it is not a heavy fortified important planet (who surely had planetary shields, while the planets in the "outback" had shields for towns at best and a few Ion cannons and turbolasers). Most local troops in Star Wars worlds are not strong enough to repell such an attack. They would surely inflict damage, but not enough. However as soon as the commander of the sector would get the news, a group of ISD would hunt down and kill the aliens to the last ship. They seem not really prepared to ship-on-ship fighting, and while they have a lot of fighters, they are not real fighter-bombers who could do so much damage to capital ships. So the Empire would hammer them.

@OriginalTharios I find you opinion a little bit extreme. You want suggest that only a tactical genius can write one? Sounds strange, because in this case the only people who could write stories about such people would be guys like Napoleon, Caesar etc. You opinion about Zahn is your thing, but I think you are in a position of small minority with that. A lot of people did like "Trawn" (the book - and the char of course too), and even more like the original Thrawn-trilogy, and I would say with very good reason. A opinion must not be true just because many people have it, but to claim the own opinion is the only correct one even while it is that of very few people seems even more in question for me... Since there is little known facts about the strength of an ISD (for example how strong its shields and guns really should be - and in books and films this seems to change depending who is in charge), the claim of a 500 m ship with ancient tech (compared to shields and turbolasers etc. if you take them as working tech, which they are in a fictional reality like this stupid aliens from ID) could hold against a warship which is designed in a background of thousands of years of space combat sounds at least highly in question. The ISD have of course weaknesses, but the Alien-ships of ID have at least as much if not much more, what is proofen that they could be beaten by a bunch of monkeys like the human enemies ARE. Beaten twice. That is an even more embarassing defeat than that of the Empire against the Ewoks... If it is the question to put the Empire against the Aliens of ID (which was the question who started this discussion) than both realities - that of ID and that of Star Wars - must of course taken serious (let aside how similar unrealistic they both are compared to the "real reality"). And in this case the Empire would win without problems.

@Revan , it still can not disprove that Unicron is still not a spacecraft himself. Even the giant space craft from Macross/Robotech could turn into a giant robot, despite being a city-sized vessel that is on par with at least the Super Star Destroyer vessels in the Star Wars universe, so, in essence, the main differences are the size of the vessels, as Unicron is at least an Earth-sized being, if the planet of Cybertron is around the same circumference as the planet Earth, and the fact that Unicron is a sentient being whereas the Alien Space Ship - 1/Super Dimension Fortress - 1 Macross had to be piloted by humans and/or sentient beings that know how to pilot the vessel.

@@failedexperiment9073 That's why I actually liked the idea of the Supremacy, having the production capabilities of an entire planet. It can shit out SDs from mining asteroids and stuff for resources, which makes it a mobile capital and shipyard. And it gives it an excuse to be stupidly large. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know that from watching the movie, because they just use it as a big flagship that gets one-shotted by a plot hole. Something like the Supremacy, I'd think it best to keep far away from the front lines to keep shitting out fleets. So, the best thing about the Supremacy wasn't even hinted at in the film.

[@djm7323]

Another reason to make a Ship this large is if it’s built to carry a huge siege weapons.. or built around a siege weapon. Definitely not to kill other ships. But even that’s impractical. They can just use Missile/Torpedo spams..

[@chaosbros7744]

they're better for taking on enemy motherships if fighters and bombers can't do the job. also, they are great to provide storage for tons of troops and equipment. they're pretty good to use as superweapons and mobile bases as well as shielding for your smaller ships that are more capable of shooting at the weak spots of the enemy's ships while the mothership provides cover fire.

Where are you getting your Dune information? The Spacing Guild wasn't "given the right" for FTL, they. were the only ones capable of it. The relationship with the spice was that it was required for them to use limited prescience to plot safe routes to destinations. Which means it was safe travel. Where did you get the 1 in 10 trips ended in explosions? I doubt you'd get that number even if they didn't know the trip would be safe before they made it. Space is mostly empty. That's why they call it space.
