Whoop! Congrats!

Did you actually get to talk to them about the different sizes and everything?

Obviously the NDA means we can't get into gritty details, but did you talk about the whole 560...

Earth's in the Orion Spur.

If you look on the map up there (click it for a gigantic version) it's at the point where all the lines intersect at the middle-bottom of the map.

By capital letters, do you mean Earth's Sol system?

Or do you mean the Zerg one?

Because, going by this little examination here, I think the map should be updated to this.

I may need to...

I think I hit the jackpot!

I may have discovered exactly where the Koprulu Sector is in the galaxy!

The Solar System displayed is in Zerg Space, and the galaxy...

Ah.

Whoops.



Nah.

I've got that one.

Hey, Robear.

I know you found a ton of images that had the Zerg Leviathan from the intro and end cinematic, but do you know if there's any more objective view of it.

I'm trying to find...

You don't see the line that makes the 5 a 6?

I have the same data for Hanson:

And you can clearly see the difference between the 5 here and the 6 in...

So, I found this texture hunting:

Stetmann is, going by his USB/name-tag texture, 6'4".

This isn't the only place where heights contradict though.

Hanson is 5'4"going by the cinematics.

But if you scale that way, it contradicts with previous...

Ah, I already have the texture in my computer and found the details.

I just wanted to ask some in-depth questions about the details themselves.



Ooh!

Thanks!

Robear, do you know the guy who worked on the HEV Commando Sniper Rifle in Starcraft 2?

Not the in-game one, I know PhilGonzo did that, the cutscene one from Card to Play cinematic?

I need to...

Well, beyond that, checking the last mission again:

They do have the top done for the hi-res palace.

However, given where...

I'll give it a look.



That's upsetting...



Well, not every design choice. Mr. Jack's art really became very influential for HotS.

You're welcome!

I could go back and try to scale the vulture scene again, but I don't know if that will work.



...What country do you live in?

I know another poster from South Korea who...

So, I scaled the General Lee from the comics. It's a small ship that's called a Wanderer-Class. Now, given how the comics switched here and there between artists, it's going to be inconsistent with...

Well, the bridge hologram clearly contradicts with the artwork anyways, and tries to fit with the map, when the map itself contradicts the width/length dimensions the hologram has.

The game model...

Hey, Robear, do you think the Daelaam Ark in "Enemy Within" is one of the shuttles from "Shoot the Messenger?"

Here's a comparison:

Ah, but the EU didn't exist when both of those games came out. They stood alone in the continuity.

Starcraft 2 didn't. A decade's worth of EU materials came out before it, with many of them...

How so?



Hold on there.

Tarsonis was absolutely razed to the ground, with all cities on the planet turned into scrapyards, and a giant graveyard for billions.

The world itself was a...

Yeah.

It's pretty funny in comparison to what that one Protoss Zealot does in Cold Symmetry, with him running 5/6s of the circumference of Saalok, Aiur's Moon.

Given he does it within half an...

Which again don't outweigh Arcturus' betrayal or her becoming the Queen of Blades because of what Arcturus did.

Not to mention Arcturus used her to kill billions on Tarsonis with the Emitters.
...

The problem here is that the writers at Blizzard are big believers of having all of the EU and the main story entwined. James Waugh, the writer of LotV, oversaw the Frontline novels, and the recent...

Hmm, there's also the issue of how the single-barreled turrets look on the Hyperion. It seems you just put a single barrel on a twin barrel turret and placed it on the ship.

While the...

Alright.

That's fine then.

Did you base the dimensions on Robear's old SC2 scaling?

EDIT:

There is a spelling error in the "Ships of the Line" box.

Based on?



Sure.

But Mengsk is the only one to betray her.

And Mengsk's betrayal is directly responsible for her becoming the Queen of Blades.
