 This article describes how to calculate the size of artwork from the physical size of objects in the game.
 ===== Planets & Asteroids =====
 This scale is generally used for large-scale objects (larger than 10 kilometers) that the player does not generally dock with (i.e., is generally not on the same plane).

-===== Stations & Structures =====
-This scale should be used for stations and other immobile structures that the player docks with.
-The size of a image representing a station is equal to:
-  Size(pixels) = 250 * Size(km)^(0.5)

   * CSC is slightly out of scale. It should be around 400 meters, which would make it 331 pixels. Also, [[game:ships:Centurion|Centurions]] are probably too big--they are probably ~25 meters in diameter.
