Speaking of which, do we even have any estimates on the Reaver's size? I remember artwork featuring the Colossi with a Dragoon and Reaver in the background, but given that they were minor background elements I don't know how far to trust it.

EDIT
Ah, here we go.

Yeah, the Shuttles would be pretty massive, but could house way more than four zealots.

Yeah, that's the only picture that shows a reaver compared to anything else, as they were never in SCG. But there was a Shuttle in Ghost, and although I've only ever seen one screenshot of it from the back, the scale works out with the reaver/dragoon size from the SC2 concept.



The ship in the middle of the screen is a scout from the rear (the player is piloting it, on what looks like just a test level). The shuttle is on the left, also shown kind of from the rear. Behind the nose of the scout, you can see a bit of a dragoon sticking out, and some Protoss units, including a glowing high templar are wayy in the back. They're all a bit further away, but you get a sense of the shuttle's size.

(Much too small to carry a colossus, of course, which is why phase prisms are obviously superior.)

And, yeah, thanks, drakolobo.

Edit: Won't have the Protoss cybernetic units done tonight, so I can't put this guy in to scale just yet, but here's the reaver's artwork. Man, I miss these guys.

I've never seen any artwork of the Reaver that I'd call definitive, but... shit dude, that looks it. o_o

You on DeviantArt or anything like that? You have to have more artwork than just this stuff.

550, actually.

And that image is a load of crap. I mean, it gives us velocity in feet-per-second (Imperial system... ugh.) distance from the Hyperion in unspecified "units", and then length/beam in metric units?

I think I need to go take a shower.

Welcome to 'murica.

But by that I mean the sense that terrans are essentially 'muricans. So of course they use feet and meters in the same fancy package. Because they are mighty fine fancy people. o.0

I am an American, and I still think the Imperial system is crap. Mixing herbicide, never could remember if it's one or two tablespoons to the 1/4 cup.

Now, if America had gone with decimal inches so judging between a 9/32 and a 5/16 bolt on a car wouldn't play Old Harry with my eyesight, then I wouldn't complain as much.

Americans can't agree on anything can they (that's kinda why the imperial system still exists at all)? They should just be submissive and apathetic like Canadians. :P

I wonder if there's any Canadians in the K-sector...

If there are, they probably live on Braxis.

I thought I would escape from it. I thought that a career in Engineering would let me leave the Imperial System behind. Then my Statics teacher informed us that we'd be converting between the two systems and using them throughout our careers. And he had a new unit he wanted to introduce to us called the 'kilopound'...

I wonder if there's any Canadians in the K-sector...

Face it. If there were any Canadians on the colony ships, they would have had to coexist with angry southern rednecks armed with power armor and fully automatic anti-materiel rifles. They're probably still in hiding.

What bothers me most about that image is that the stated length and width are esentially impossibly true because of the dimensions it gives the vessel. It would mean the battlecruiser is thin as a needle, but it obviously isn't when you look at the model... it's nearly as wide as it is long.
