My search is broken or I wouldn't be posting this. I've been sitting here for about a half hour trying to find that thread with the compiled screenshots of all the starships comparing their sizes and hitboxes, if anybody has it bookmarked or something could you please post the link to it?
Thanks for your time.

Personnally i never liked that picture.
Its more useful having ships overlayed on top of each other in a top down view i think, so you can readily see more clearly the size differences.
For example i never realize how large the dunelizard *really* is until i had some escort mission where i was escorting a dunelizard (or xwing i forget which). Point is, i was able to quite literally park an Xwing inside a dunelizard. That was eye opening to me.

wish there was such a picture with all the ships compared, or even their hitbox sizes.

due to the fact that I'm not allowed to do more than 1 of these missions for the special ships, this is the one im stuck with. I HATE the fact that its THATTTTT HUGE! but the mass makes up for it as I can put a level 10 RE engine in there without much sacrifice.

Well as a trade off for being the size of a small state, the Vaksai does have better handling r,p,y acc. wise than an A-wing and has the same speed modifier. Also, there is no reason why anyone could fit in a lvl 10 gun and engne and possibly even a very nitily re'd lvl 10 shield. A lvl 8 T4 reward shield might be a safer bet though. I'd fly a Vaksai if I were freelance.

Check out the cockpit sizes. You could have a party in the Vaksai, or at least a hot babe copilot to keep you company.

Dont forget its 150K mass.
My thinking is, you have to make good with every bit of that mass. You can pack in more armor, engine, and booster in that ship then anyone else. So ya, your big, to make up for it, i think your goign to have to be better, stronger, faster..... (pun intended)

Hey Rapax:
If it gives you any sort of comparison, the JSF *just* fits inside the foils on a Tie Advanced.
