Starship Size Classes

The size class of a vessel in GC determines the mounting capacity of a hull and the in-universe standard sizes expected of a vessel with the given level of capacity, along with the expected crew counts in lieu of heavy automation. The provided numbers allow members to standardize their scaling in relation to each other to avoid awkwardness of such things as a 2km frigate or accidentally giving a ship more crew than can physically fit within its space. The lower end of the range is recommended for smaller hulls, whereas the upper end is recommended for larger hulls. Significant outliers for size or crew should be discussed with administration. The 'size' variable is relevant to assembly at a shipyard.
