So, how do your ships compare?

Found this just before going to bed and had a little giggle.

Where would our own creations in KSP fit on this chart do we reckon?

Well, my g-force record is 327 thousand gees. So yes, I'm blowing away the Swordfish, Project Orion, and even the TIE Fighter. Though I'd have needed to wait a bit to get to multiple times the speed of light.

That ship probably wouldn't work any more because of changes to physicsless parts, mind you.

Meanwhile, http://www.merzo.net/ is an excellent website for scale of spacecraft. KSP has seen some pretty big builds, but few would rank truly high on those pages.
