Description (Specifications)[edit]
World Class Ships are absolutely massive, much bigger than the capital ships or fleet class ships are are regularly constructed. WCS'es are almost never produced in large numbers and are often built as custom one-offs.
[edit]
These vary in tonnage and in their intended function or role in fleet maneuvers and tactics. The security of the state is usually the primary design imperative. [1]
Ship Classification by Size | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
# | Type | Tonnage | Examples | Remarks | |
1. | Smallcraft | 0 to 99 tons | Smallcraft are typically Subcraft, designed to be carried by carrier craft. | ||
2. | Spacecraft | 100 tons or larger | Spacecraft are in-system vessels, lacking interstellar drives.
| ||
3. | Adventure Class Ships (ACS) | 100 to 2,499 tons | Adventure Class ships are usually jump-capable.
| ||
4. | Battle Class Ships (BCS) | 2,500 to about 1,000,000 tons | Battle Class ships are warships. They are usually jump-capable.
| ||
5. | World Class Ships (WCS) | Larger than 1,000,000 tons | Loeskalth planetoid generation ship. | World Class ships are beyond expensive and represent suprapolity-level investment.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The size of what is considered gigantic or World-class changes every few tech epochs. What was once mighty and large eventually is regarded as less impressive as technology advances.
