Full Scale.. and then some

  Since everything is bigger in the virtual world... e.g. average Avatar height is 6.9 feet  vs  RL 6 feet...

We've decided to build Space: 1999 Esellar at a slightly larger scale of 115%

Actually this is a lesson learned from our Newgrange recreation where we painstakingly did 1:1 exact scaling, only to realize after all built that everything looks too small for the average avatar.

So Space: 1999 Esellar will be at 115% scale.

But 115% of what you may ask? And that would be a great question...

We are using the Space: 1999 Technical Manual for all build references.
