I just now, after nearly eight years of modding, figured out how to accurately scale ships (I think). Now that I have the info, though, my question is this: which stock ship should I use as a basis for scaling other ships against? I know technically this could be selected as any vessel, and vessels like shuttles are not good for such things, but I was wondering if anyone has noticed any stock ship model that is most consistent as far as accurate scaling compared to other stock models? Thanks!

I don't know about the accuracy of the stock model, but Achilles made a measurement stick that can help you with scaling ships accurately in-game. I can give that to you. (Actually, I think I should just upload it as a resource.)

EDIT: Alright, you can download it from the resource section now: http://msfc.com.au/community/index.php?resources/measurement-stick.223/

Another tool that may be helpful would be to open up DITL's size chart in another window and compare a class you have with a class you're making.
