Yeah, it's definitely a small quantity. However, it's a bare bones
quantity. My first big ship (the POS Lord Alexander) took up like 3000
bricks alone, and that was a bare bones craft. The ship I'm building
right now has to have consumed at least 5000 bricks and $300-400 worth
of parts... The 1011 for a bare bare bones craft still stands though,
though that's only for the SIDE walls.
Also, if you're thinking of making the main hull 2 feet tall (for a mere
170 stud ship), don't! That'll look horrendous, trust me.. However, I
assume you were adding the superstructure into the equation..
If you have no pieces whatsoever, you need to be prepared to spend at
least $250 to make a GOOD ship of this size.. That's another
underestimate though..
