For wide-hulled ships, the classes are 3 (no middle sections), 4 (1
middle), 6 (2 middles), 7 (3 middles), etc.

Why was class 5 left out?  This means the only type of class 5 ship
available is the small hull with 3 middle sections, which the game
write says is rare (due to part availability).

It's not really a big deal, I can make plenty of small-hulled class 5
ships, it just seems odd.

I'm not sure why 5 was skipped for the wide-hulled ships. In fact, as far as
I can tell, Steve has never published the class-5 regular ship record sheet
(nor has a class-8 wide record sheet ever been published to my knowledge).

I suspect the skip is that Steve felt the biggest ships needed to be one
class bigger.
