Ch.178″In space, you’re supposed to have a mental breakdown.”

While a plan to “make Icarus the king of the central zone” was actively progressing with behind-the-scenes maneuvering—something Icarus himself knew nothing about—what was the person in question actually doing…?

“Ugh, this is getting uncomfortable.”

After briefly enjoying the praise posts—no, the increasingly serious analysis posts—appearing in the gallery, he was reminded that the world always has jealous people who begrudge others’ success.

In response to the praise campaign carried out with Justice Clan’s clear objective(?), some trolls began to pick fights.

Isn’t it normal to win when fighting opponents weaker than yourself, no matter how many there are?

This just looks like blind fanboying to me~

As these kinds of posts increased and arguments broke out, with people opposing the so-called “Icarus fanboys” while I was becoming what they call a “popular user,” I deleted posts from both sides. Trying to stabilize my shaking mental state, I constructed additional cruisers, blocked all related keywords from my view, and leisurely browsed the gallery to find some peace of mind.

That peace only came after blocking eight grandmother-loving trolls for 15 days and deleting their posts…

“This seems like an oddly timed observation.”

“What are you saying, Commander?”

“The scale of ships and bases in this place—they seem excessively large.”

“…Ah, yes.”

What shone like a ray of light into my dry and desolate mind and spirit was none other than seeing the various size settings of this game after a long time.

Of course, this wasn’t from browsing the wiki tab.

Title: After getting immersed here, I realized—why are these things so damn big?

I went to check out our clan leader’s new battleship

Without thinking much, I decided to go down to the deck to look around

But why the hell am I not getting any closer to the bridge?

I’ve been walking for 6 hours already and the ship still looks like a mirage in the distance

And I left my communicator on the shuttle so I have no way to contact anyone

If anyone here meets an Avalon clan member, please tell them to come get me

I’m shouting all kinds of things on the deck but nobody can hear me, damn it, help me

Comments:

-[What are you talking about?]

-[Wait, isn’t it your clan leader’s ship? How can they not see a user on the deck?]

-˪[I don’t know, I’m waving my hands and shouting but getting no response]

-[It can’t be that easy to get lost on a clan leader’s battleship deck]

-[Come to think of it, the ships in this game do seem pretty big. Just how big are they?]

Because of that random lost person post and one comment below it, some veteran player seemed to get inspired and started explaining things to users instead of directing them to the wiki tab.

After seeing that post about a user getting lost on a clan leader’s battleship, I thought I’d write this up

This game doesn’t actually provide exact size settings for ships

Like some Fr*ntier game, they just vaguely mention things, so users either make educated guesses or extract models to compare sizes

The problem is that the devs, maybe due to game size issues, roughly represent things like 250mm CIWS on super-large ships, or some things don’t even appear in the modeling but work in-game, so everyone has different interpretations

But that’s not an issue anymore, right?

Anyway, cutting the chatter, there’s only one ship with “detailed” size settings in this game

That’s the basic standard patrol ship that users get first.

It’s among the top 5 smallest ships, and it’s the only one with size settings

The hull length, excluding antennas and weird structures at the rear, measuring just from bow to stern nozzle, is 1.2km

The turret ring diameter alone is 100m, yeah

Using this patrol ship as reference, we can roughly measure other ships’ sizes… showing how insane this game’s scale is

By the way, I’m excluding “gacha ships” from this discussion

They’re too inconsistent in size, so I’m only mentioning basic user ships and NPC ships

First, higher-tier escort ships are generally at least 1.5 times larger than patrol ships

Most factions maintain between 1.5 to 2 times the size

Destroyers are 1.2-1.5 times larger than escort ships, with differences up to 3 times in some cases

Why such inconsistency between patrol-escort and destroyers?

First, the monster faction has destroyer-role monsters with wildly varying sizes

Earth Federation destroyers are 3 times larger than escort ships, while Xenovia’s are only about 1.2 times larger

It’s complicated in many ways

But on average, each tier is about 1.5 times larger than the previous one

However, when you go from destroyer to light cruiser to heavy cruiser, the scale suddenly expands dramatically, making you wonder what they’re thinking

I’ll continue this in the next post, it’s getting too long

Comments:

-[So patrol ships to destroyers have a 4x size difference?]

-˪[No, at most 2 to 2.5 times](Author)

-[Is there really that much difference?]

-˪[In space, distance perception gets distorted. In command view, these things can be tens of thousands of km apart]

-[Useful info]

-[Were they really that big?]

Hi, I’m back

Anyway, cutting to the chase, let me continue where I left off

To be brief, why are cruisers considered “large ships”?

Everyone knows from my last post that destroyers are at least 2.5 times larger than patrol ships

But when a light cruiser sits next to a destroyer, it suddenly becomes more than twice as large

That means it’s suddenly 5-6 times larger than a patrol ship.

But that’s just light cruisers. Heavy cruisers are at least 3-4 times larger than destroyers

And this is calculating just the hull length, excluding protruding antennas, gun barrels, and other structures

When you get to battlecruisers or battleships, they’re at least twice as large as heavy cruisers.

Specifically, battlecruisers are at least twice as large, and battleships prioritize bulk over length, so they’re shorter than battlecruisers but still enormous

That’s about all I’ve figured out

There’s no information on ships larger than battleships because no users have obtained them yet, or those who have aren’t responding

By the way, some ships don’t follow this formula

Take the recently hot Overseer that Icarus was operating—it’s called a heavy cruiser, but it’s actually the size of a small battleship

Comments:

-[Wait, so how big is the battleship that lost person fell onto?]

-˪[If it’s a standard battleship, at least tens of kilometers](Author)

-˪[He went to look around and ended up starving to death]

-[LOLOLOLOL]

-[Thanks for the info]

-[Holy shit]

‘Ah, was it like that?’

While reading the gallery posts, I flinched when I was suddenly mentioned, worried about becoming a popular user again…

Fortunately, it seemed to be just a passing reference, which made me nod with satisfaction.
