I did a conversion from meters to feet for a comparsion. What I found out is WOW that is a BIG ship

Aurora Length 1482 Meters = 4,862.205 feet<br>
Width (front of ship) 372 meters = 1,220.472 feet<br>
Width (rear of ship) 499 meters = 1,637.139 feet<br>
Height (front of ship) 156 meters = 511.811 feet

NOTE no height for the rear of Aurora is in drawings. An oversite perhaps?

Height (Rear of ship) 228 Meters = 748.031 Feet
(Ryk added this dimension after I mentioned it to him)

Whenever I see meters, I just think if them as slightly big yards. You need a lot of them for the errors to get bad. So 1482 Meters is a bit over a couple football field lengths short of a mile.

Now, converting acceleration to gravities and vice versa, Been known to stop and ask my google phone (both it and iphone use Wolfram Alpha, a great tool for that)

@Davud Ecjark: Acceleration conversion isn't much different. 1 gravity ~ 10 meters/second^2 ~ 30 feet/second^2. Basically shift the decimal place left one (for both) then divide by 3 (for ft/s^2 only). Though, it's generally not easily to do division by three in your head, so it might be easier to roughly divide by 4 and then add half to the result. IE: 190283 ft/s -> 19028 -> 19000 / 2 = 8000 / 2 = 4000 / 2 = 2000, 4000 + 2000 = 6000, so 190283 ft/s ~ 6000 gravities.

Also, good to see another fan of W|A, it's rather nice even if it's finicky at times.
