|
|
I keep seeing references to size class.
While I realise it makes little difference to FC, I am trying to understand the Univese and background as a whole, so inevitably read SFB material. In this (and indeed on this very forum) I encounter size class references which I don't quite have a handle on yet. Dreadnoughts are size 1? Cruisers are size 2? Is that correct? What size class is the juggernaut then? Or a Frigate?
Could someone kindly spell out the various size classes for me (or point me to somewhere that will explain it)? I'd like to properly understand what someone is going on about when they say something like "use a ship no larger than size class 3" etc
Many thanks! _________________ Endeavour to Persevere |

IIRC..
Size Class 0 = Moons, planets, stars
Size Class 1 = Starbases, big monsters a la Juggernaut
Size Class 2 = BBs, DNs
Size Class 3 = Cruisers
Size Class 4 = Destroyers, frigates, police ships
Size Class 5 = PFs
Size Class 6 = Shuttles and fighters
Size Class 7 = People, drones _________________ We are Hydrans! NO ONE LIKES US! |
