So uhh... remember this?
Turns out it's sort of redundant, to try to calculate the distance like that: they straight-up give us a size in the official guidebook.
"But wait!" I already hear the outcries. "Isn't this contradicting what we see in the game?"
Not really. As established in the blog itself, there's a very large distance between the Earth and the Karma Fortress, one I quite heavily lowballed for the sake of, you know, low-balling.
For an analogy: try holding a golf ball in one hand, and a basket ball in the other. The basketball obviously dwarfs the golf ball, ye?
But then, have a friend carry the basketball... 10, 20, 30 feet away, close an eye, hold the golf ball up, and compare the two. The basketball's looking a whole lot smaller now, yeah?
That more or less invalidates the argument that this shot condradicts that: it just means that the Karma Fortress is really far away.
"But what about the time that the Karma Fortress's crashed into the Earth? If it was this big, it would have destroyed the planet!!"
If it was as big as I last calculated, it would have destroyed the planet just as easily.
Hell, even if we were to assume that the shot above had zero distance between the Karma Fortress and Earth? (And we know for a fact this isn't the case.) A head of that size would still result in the planet's swift and immediate death.
Here, I'll show you just how silly and full of PIS that "Chakravartin sends the Karma Fortress's head at the planet scene" really was:

Not only is the head suddenly barely the size of a mountain range...

It can't even destroy some of the mountains that we... just watched it destroy.

The only feasible theory I can think up is that, seeing as it's energy was supplied to it by all of the human souls, which would probably be leaking out now that it's crumbling apart, it shrunk dramatically to reflect its empty state, thus resulting in quite minimal damage to the planet.
Anywho, with that all out of the way, it'll actually be easier than one might think to get our new energy yield. All we have to do is figure out how much bigger we are than we were last time.
Diameter of Earth: 12712000 meters / 24 px = 529666.667 m/px
New Karma Fortress Height: 529666.667 m/px X 1172.0 px = 620769333.3 meters
Old Karma Fortress Height: 66162000.0 meters
The new height is (620769333.3 / 66162000.0) = 9.3826 times the old height.
As are the other two dimensions, length and width...
And speed, too, as the distance traveled in the timeframe is multiplied by the value.
Time to plug in old numbers for new ones.
Mass of Arms: 2.3335e+24 kg x (9.3826^3) = 1.9274e+27 kg
Mass of Whole Body: 2.0465e+25 kg x (9.3826^3) = 1.6904e+28 kg
Speed of Hands: 11022563.42 meters/second x 9.3826 = 103420303.5 m/s
Since we have a Relativistic speed, time to make use of a Relativistic KE calculator...
Arms Energy: 1.03075e+43 Joules, or 0.103 Foe
Whole Body Energy: 9.04006e+43 Joules, or 0.904 Foe
Both of these are mid-ish Large Star level.
This new size, by the way, will actually actually help us find the distance it is from the shot in which it was originally measured, I'll just have to reverse my old angsize method from before:
54.82 degrees for top half,
(620769333.3 meters / 2 =) 310384666.7 meters for size, and...
299270000 meters away
Subtract the 13950000 meters and the 2890100 meters distances from earlier to find our pickup point, and we can even get a flight speed for the Lone Wolf.
299270000 - (13950000 + 2890100) = 282429900 meters,
/ 118.867 seconds = 2376016.05 meters/second, or Mach 6982.327 Lone Wolf. Neat-o.
Final Tally[]
Lone Wolf Cruising Speed: 2376016.05 meters/second
Sakra Devanam Indra Deus's Karma Fortress Messatsu: 0.103 Foe - 0.906 Foe
