[quote=@Willy Vereb]10km limit is a serious issue, though. You see big ship doesn't equal powerful.[/quote]

Speaking as a person who prefers to utilize cruisers, I agree. However, this is a specific point of contention that inevitably crops up in Space NRPs. To list just a few examples,

In AaMS, one poster had ships which averaged between ten and two hundred kilometers in length, another had no ships larger than seven hundred meters, a third used ships ranging from thirty meters to over fifty kilometers. In IA one poster had a number of vessels described as 'destroyers' that were more than twelve kilometers long while another had 'dreadnoughts' which were no larger than two. In WoSS one person actually wanted a ship that was five hundred kilometers in diameter, when everyone else was using ships and structures smaller than seven kilometers. In WatS, ships varied in size between posters to the point where people both on the upper and lower end of the spectrum were complaining about each other. In IW, a small relatively new regional power with primitive technology possessed an armada of fifty-kilometer long warships while a longstanding, centuries-old quadrant superpower 'had difficulties' manufacturing warships larger than eight kilometers. I could go on.

The fact of the matter is that, if I do not come out with a ruling here and now, absolutely nobody will be able to agree on the same basic parameters for ship sizes. Since I don't want to unnecessarily force everyone into using a rigid classification system, I just defined an upper limit. Feel free to freely designate your own classifications of ships and their dimensions, up to the ten kilometer ceiling.

The number is perhaps selected arbitrarily, and pending discussion I might be amenable to changing it. However, I am of a mind that a hard ceiling is necessary in this matter. I am also open to permitting the occasional exception to the rule, but this would be on a per-case basis.
