Ship specs

[imdare]

Can we get the ship specs somewhere? like length etc.?
I want to model the Adamant Frigate. Any information and references will be helpfull.
thank you in advance

Like...to get an accurate replica, or to make it in another game? Because if its the second I would just start off with building the vipers, and building the launch tubes to accommodate them. Then just build everything else to scale based on that.

Both really, I want to make an accurate representation of the battlestar galactica universe in the game "Avorion", then 3d print my models, already got a 75cm large Galactica :)

FYI: I have learnt that the Adamant is 830 meters and the manticore is 670 meters long

...really puts it into perspective how difficult and large to build these things would be. The closest I've managed was nowhere near that size (and I stylized it entirely differently in the end).

Where did you get this information?

Spacedock (YouTube) did a series on BSG Deadlock called Proving Grounds. It was in collaboration with Slitherine and Black Labs. They state the size of the Manticore is 600 meters long, 216 meters wide and 82 meters high. Its crewed by 800 personnel, including 100 Colonial Marines.

The Proving Grounds series included 16 episodes. The link for the 1st episode (Manticore) is;

A picture on a forum, but I already figured out that its inaccurate. thx for the youtube link, i go check it out.

Replying to this after three years, I'm aware, but I'm partly posting here just for my own searchable reference later.

The Manticore at 670m is massively oversized, that puts it larger than Valkyrie. I wouldn't be surprised if they fiddled with the ship scales just to make the smaller ones easier to see.

The Adamant game model can be given a correct scale, however, because you've got the launch tubes on the sides (which will always be more or less the same size). Scaling them to the same size as Galactica, you end up with approximately 285m length. Any larger and you just have comically large launch tubes spaced far too far apart.

It's very easy to see why the model size in-game doesn't reflect this, though.
