THE EBON HAWK SHIP

Simply put; How big is the ship.

The simplest way is through scaling. How do you scale? You take a refference point thats is know by all and work from there. For those who played the Game " Knight of the old republic " and "Kotor 2" when you go to the port or staboard side of the ship you see 3 beds lined up on each sides. Beds are a know quantity 6 feet long. Thats your refference point from that, take the lenght of 3 bed line up 3X6=18 feet; measure the inside of the map of the ship and calculate the ships dimensions. I've done it for ya. Conservative size if you take the inside map and the outside of the ship, the hull plating and all you get:

Length= 204.1 feet or 61.8 meters Width = 185.9 feet, 56.3 meters

How do i get those; take your 3 beds X 6 feet= 18 feet divide by measurements 24 mm = 1.3 feet. So each mm on your ruler = 1.3 feet, thats your scale. Now take your floor plan and start calculating. You'll find that:

Cockpit = 19.5 feet X 13 feet wide engine room = 9 feet X 4.3 feet Dormatories = 18 feet X 8 feet port and starboard corridors = 6.5 feet wide ( circular remember so only the base can be walked on like the Falcon) Ramp = 28.6 feet X 3.1 feet Swoop Bike garage = 46.8 X 41.6 feet Cargo Hold = 40.3 feet X 19.5 feet Sick bay = 14.3 X 14.3 ( both axes ) Communication station = 28.6 feet X 16.9 feet ( wonder why so big not useful in story) Main Hold = 45.5 feet X 32.5 feet and 9 feet tall at least( Zaalbar is a WOOKIEE )and stands on one side.So we can assume that this room is the tallest since are corridors are 6.5 feet circular and leads to most of the other rooms. The center of the ship is also naturally the highest it stand to reason.

Wich brings the theory that the Millenium falcon woud be bigger...Wrong!! the numbers don't add up. The number of room alone in the Hawk is greater, the cockpit size alone, there's no swopbike size roon on the Falcon, or 2 sets of bunk beds(6). The famous two turret fact on the falcon is weak at best if we caculate map wise. So any debators?
