We have a history of ships that go through the UK pipeline getting bigger as they're built from concept to the actual in-flight model. Are the [Hammerhead's] dimensions changing all that much?
TL;DRThe Hammerhead's dimensions haven't changed much and the website's landed size is about right, though turrets make the measurement ambiguous, and it hasn't grown anywhere near 50%.
Not really. We were looking at it earlier before this, and on the website, I think it's 115 by 75 by 16, and that's pretty much where it comes in at. It's a little tricky because of the turrets, so you can argue about where you measure the ship from. Because if you just measure it from where the turrets mount, the doorways, it's 55 meters. But by the time you put the turrets on, it gets bigger. And so do you count to the edge of the turret, or do you count to the edge of the barrels on the turret, which is where 75 comes from? But that's with the turrets tucked in. So when they're sort of landed and inactive, they retract back into the ship.
So it has like four different sizes.
Yeah, so when it's out and all the turrets are out, it gets even bigger. But landed size, the size people generally care about for fitting on landing pads, fitting in other ships, is the size that is on the website. And if it changes, we'll update it, but it's not got 50% bigger or anything like that.
