Recommend me some kinos with big fucking spaceships

Space Balls

so what does it do? Isn't it smaller to have 5 billion tiny drones and hyperspeed ram the enemy's solar system?

Two AU, but that's the size of the energy cloud surrounding the actual vessel for V'ger

it's that big because it has extremely large engines and carries 80,000 smaller warships, any of which could utterly destroy almost any Yea Forums sci-fi universe, in order to prevent a war before it starts

ok

This is fucking awful. Glad I put off reading this trash, now I don't have to waste my time.

Apparently the cloud was a different size in the version of the movie screened at theaters. 82 AU, which is retardedly, incomprehensibly massive.

To put that in perspective, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun.

Up to a point the size of spaceship stops mattering because people lose the sense of proportion

You may think that in anime and PC game the idea of bigger spaceship is popular. But that's because those two media can pack more information about the relative size. Anime and Cartoons have the license to be inaccurate on relative size. Whereas computer game let you do the zooming yourself.

Movies don't have those luxury so there is no point in doing that

It gets to a point where it's just dumb, like it was purposefully designed to be the biggest ship in all of fiction just to spite the others or to feel cool. It's like an obnoxious kid who always tries to one up the other kids when they play games that involve coming up with cool shit

>N'ger
How did they get away with it?

that's always the name of the game

I think it's actually supposed to make sense in the Culture series (ship in OP). Apparently humans don't live on planets anymore for various reasons and instead live on huge ships, ringworlds, Dyson spheres, etc

it's more that sci fi writers have no sense of scale.

I've heard of "the Cultre" being mentioned somewhere before, I don't remember what series/franchise it's from, but I do remember them mentioning that they had big shits. However, ultimately it comes down to energy density being the primary issue in determining winners in space combat; with design coming second. In terms of size, space is so big and empty that you could scale that ship to the relative size of a bacterium and you still wouldn't be that big. Hell, it might even be relatively that small to a Dyson's Sphere which is the biggest named intradimensional structure, but when it comes to imagination, and not engineering actual physical structures, you can imagine anything you want.
The biggest theoritical ship would be to harvest all the mass and energy in the universe and turn it into a space ship. Obviously there would be nothing to do with it other than just float in a directionless void following that.
The only way to get "bigger" than that would be to make that spaceship a giant VR computer, where you manifest a larger ship/universe- changing the time/energy ratios to simulate god knows how many of these ships in turn- the biggest possible structure making as many simulations of the biggest possible structures as possible.
You wouldn't be getting any more mass/energy from the existing universe ship than already existed; but you would be maximizing the "livable space" of the universe ship by another universe ship with every simulated version you managed to make- though this simulated version would only be inhabitable by simulated beings, it would be irrelevant, from their point of view, since the ratio of time/energy would be identical to the source universe/ship. The question of course, would be if the process could run into some sort of "hard limit"- ie this small and no smaller, or if the process could continue infinitely.

They have unlimited energy from the "energy grids", two seemingly infinitely large and infinitely dense dimensions of pure energy that separate seemingly infinite nested universes from each other.
They can also rip a hole between them and our universe and use it as a weapon. It's also how they get around the rather slow speed of light.

I bet there was also a juvenile fart joke somewhere in the book

how many more greebles can we jam onto a star destroyer before it becomes unrecognizable

I prefer the non-military GSV's which are literally just a series of cities the size of planets suspended within a single atmospheric field and all moving together to form a pseudo-ship
