You are right, but I think it is even older. I vaguely remember that chart from a few years ago. It might have been updated but I think it is at least 5 years old.

I think some people in Eve Online may have serious issues.

So much for my assumption that Red Dwarf would be one of the biggest. :oops:

Couldn't see the ship from 2001 - discovery?
Anything from that famous game - Star Control

I seem to be missing the Millenium Falcon.
I'll look again later

I think it is rather small to appear on this chart.

Going by the scale in the top left corner the Millennium Falcon would be about 2x3 pixels :D

They are, to the man, all sociopaths. Seriously, try it out for a few weeks.

I thought, no surely it has the Falcon. Confirmed, the Millennium Falcon was a Corellian Engineering Corporation manufactured modified Light Cruiser from the YT-1300 range.

And it is not on the chart.

Although the most obscure little cruisers smaller than the Falcon ARE on the chart including several manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation.

The person who compiled the chart has got something against the Falcon it seems. Conclusion: Lando compiled this chart.

According to http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Millennium_Falcon the Falcon is only 34M long so very small compaired to other ships on there

I had wondered about the smaller vessels and how the creator of the graphic defined 'starship.'

IIRC, isn't it generally that a starship can travel between the stars (which usually means having some form of FTL propulsion) while a spaceship simply can travel in space (i.e. can survive the environment). The Space Shuttle was a spaceship but it wasn't a starship.

The Space Shuttle didn’t go very far. They never, for example, go it to the Moon. All it ever did was orbit the plant. The equivalent of a teenager driving his Imprezza around the block in the hope it will impress his parents. The Apollo missions qualify for the term “space ship” more than the shuttle ever can.
