New Lorebook upcoming; and a request regarding ship scale.

[Vanguard3000]

Hi, all! For a long time now, I've wanted to overhaul the X Universe "Lorebook" I put together about a decade ago (see a previous post, or just go get the original edition), and the new edition is nearly finished, which will include all lore and lots of close-up shots from the original X Trilogy (an X Rebirth one is available as well, and I'll be starting an X4 one next!).

One thing I'd like to add as a finishing touch is a size chart for all the ships in X3. I know some size charts have been done before but from what I gather they're largely eyeballed. I'm taking a bit of a different approach: I'm setting up a chart of ship sizes in model units (the space suit, for example, is 9.82 units high), assuming a translation to metric, then applying that multiplier to all ship sizes.

The only trouble is that I need to get the height of the Space Suit for it to be as accurate as possible. I'd probably want to start with a person approximately 180cm, then account for some headroom in the helmet, as well as the fact that the knees as slightly bent (I've roughly altered the model on the right to have a straighter leg).

Anyway, I'd love to hear some opinions on this. My spreadsheet can be altered at any time but it'd be nice to have final numbers before they're added to the ebook. And I've also attached a sneak peek at the new Lorebook edition. Thanks in advance everyone!

(I don't have a place to host the images, so I've posted on Reddit as well, where you can see them.)
