I have never come close to using class 7 ships in the game. I would like
to at some point, but it's unlikely. More on this below. Additionally,
class 8 doesn't have a standard record sheet for it.

Remember a class 2 ship is no center sections, so you're golden for a
bunch of class 2 ships. The 10-wide parts can be made into decent class
2 ships also (my "brig" has a similar deck area to a regular class 2
ship, Steve Jackson tells me his are smaller though - I'm waiting for
some pictures).

Class 2 and class 3 ships would be most valuable. That's what we always
run out of. Some class 4 and 5 ships would be nice in case we get there.
I seriously doubt we will use class 6 and up ships, though one of these
days I will run a big battle game with them. That is likely to be a game
at GenCon rather than at BrickFest (there's always a balancing act
between time spent on gaming at brick cons and time spent on other
things).
