Hey, drakensis? Two things...
Quote:
The most common space transports by far, Space Craft are defined as any spacecraft that can be landed within a standard parking lot's parking spaces (roughly, a maximum of 9 feet wide and 18 long). Craft less than 18 feet wide and less than 9 feet long do not meet this classification as they can't be relied upon to be able to navigate into the internal Space Craft docks of most really large facilities.
First, I can't get this to parse. According to this, SC-class ships do not exist. [Image: smile.gif] Should that be 'more than 18 feet' and 'more than 9 feet' instead of 'less than'?
Quote:
This deisgnation is reserved for the largest of craft - heavy cargo haulers and semi-mobile stations being the most common. In general, any space vessel that has a longest dimension in excess of 200 feet is classed as a Space Vessel and most docking facilities insist that they do not make close approaches, instead transferring crew, passengers and cargo by means of auxiliary craft.
Second, would you consider setting the SV designation to include ships greater than 250 feet? That would let the Fateful Lightning remain an SS-class ship, just slipping in under the 250-foot limit with the trailers/cab combined length.
