Well in my Legoverse, the Galactic Confederation, there are 3 grades of capital
ships:
A Space Grade cruiser would at least 34 mini-meters in length (102 studs) and
capable of planetary landing. This is what all MOCs are in my book.
A Star Grade cruiser would be at least 1 mini-kilometer in length (3000 studs)
and would only orbit planets. I seriously doubt anyone would build one of
these any time soon.
A Galaxy Grade cruiser would be at least 1,000 mini-kilometers in length
(30,000 studs) and would only orbit stars. I seriously doubt anyone would ever
make one of these.
Now keep in mind that the dimensions are for cruisers which would also apply to
carriers. A destroyer, frigate, and corvette would all be progressively
smaller. (For the sake of argument lets say a destroyer would be over 81 studs
(27 mini-meters), a frigate over 60 studs (20 mini-meters), and a corvette over
42 studs(14 mini-meters). Now I personally go one step further and say
anything over 21 studs (7 mini-meters) would be a gunboat/gunship and anything
under 21 studs would be a fighter/bomber.)

| For the sake of this discusion, all LEGO ships refered too should be minifig scale. What is the minimum length (studs) of a 'capital ship'? Can a 'capital ship' land on a planet? Can it take off again? Does a 'capital ship' have to carry smaller (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.space)
