:Wow, that's awesome! I have not found any errors yet. I find it interesting that the Darter dropship variant in ''Halo 4'' and ''Initiation'' is nearly three times the size of the ''Halo Wars'' variant. - [[User:NightHammer|NightHammer]] ([[User talk:NightHammer|talk]]) 22:54, 29 June 2014 (EDT)

:It never really sank in just how massive ''Mantle's Approach'' was. It's almost as big as High Charity itself! You can see the numbers, but without a visual representation, it's hard to grasp! You also seem to be missing Reach on [http://halo.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_scalecomparison/1280h.html this one] and the CPV-class heavy destroyer on [http://halo.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_scalecomparison/1280h.html?display=covmain this one]. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 06:29, 30 June 2014 (EDT)

::That's pretty much what I was going to say about ''Mantle's Approach''. Even with [[:File:H4-Mantle-Departure.jpg|this]] I don't think I had truly appreciated the ship's size until now. The only error I noticed is the [[stealth pylon]] being tagged [H3] instead of [R]. That being said this is easily the best version of the scale comparison charts to date. Keep up the great work! --[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our vengeance is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 15:23, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
 
:The chart really helps put things into perspective, something raw data alone doesn't quite accomplish. Despite knowing its size, I never realized how huge the Cryptum actually was. It's nearly the height of a beam tower or the Library gondola! Or that the Mombasa Tether is so much bigger than the Threshold gas mine.  --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:06, 1 July 2014 (EDT)
 
::Thanks for the comments folks! I'll see about getting that ''Halo 3'' tag error corrected. That's a simple copy/paste error as most text starts as one text box and I copy it around the page changing what's needed. After weeks of looking at the text cross-eyed, I'm surprised it has so few errors.
 
::I didn't intend to include Reach or Arcadia or Harvest as I already had a planetary scale chart done on HBO. There's ample room so I suppose I could, but the main structures I wanted on that page was the Ark and Halo. Requiem and the other shield world are just new additions. Earth was in the previous update because it's a good comparison with the Ark and Halo.
 
::The ship is not a Darter, it just has a similar 4-engine design like one. The Darter and Pelican are far closer in design to one another. There doesn't seem to exist a decent side view of the Halo Wars Covenant destroyer or I'd have included it. I don't have the model of anything from Halo Wars. We didn't even have a side view to go from during the first Visual Guide. If you know of one, I'll fit it in. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 15:07, 2 July 2014 (EDT)
 
I like the updated stellar/planetary scale page - puts the achievements of the Forerunners into perspective. I couldn't find [[Unidentified_civilian_transport_craft|this air/space craft]] anywhere, though, either the Reach or Halo 4 versions. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 01:35, 5 July 2014 (EDT)
 
:http://halo.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_scalecomparison/1280h.html?display=civ_b there it is. I think I should start a search for halo wars stuff.[[User:Erickyboo|Erickyboo]] ([[User talk:Erickyboo|talk]]) 02:14, 5 July 2014 (EDT)

:Glad you found it. It's a civilian transport so you have to browse the civilian objects to find it. The same transport model was used in both Reach and Halo 4 so I included it only the once. I can tell you that for Halo Wars, I have only included silhouettes for the Spirit of Fire (since I could draw it from a good quality side view and knew the overall length), but the only other objects in the charts are limited to the objects included in the first Visual Guide, as those are all the Halo Wars objects I helped work out the dimensions to. The major omission in that is the Covenant destroyer, as we don't have a side-view to use as reference, but I dearly wanted to include it. -[[User:ScaleMaster117|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117|talk]]) 07:56, 5 July 2014 (EDT)
