60 studs? That's kind of short, IMO. For instance, of the ships on my
website, the Mithrandir is the only one I'd consider to be a "capital" ship,
and a small one at that. Some of my other ships are more than 60 studs long,
and certainly not capital ships:
(Most of these numbers are approximated)
Mithrandir: 152 studs
Spaceplane: 99 studs
Lightnin' Jack: ~90 studs
Osprey: ~75 studs
Angel: ~75 studs
Of course, the Spaceplane is long mainly because of the length of the
forward fuselage, and the Angel is sort of long n' skinny too. The Osprey is
fairly wide, to accomodate the APC, however.
I'd say 100 studs minimum, unless you're talking about microfig, and then
it's sort of up in the air (or in space? ;^) )
I understand that a lot of people don't have the brick resources to make
spaceships longer than 60 studs, but that's what microfig scale is all
about.

Yes. Wading through text links is very annoying. If the thumbs are sized
reasonably, it shouldn't be much of a problem for people who have slow
connections.

I think that would be good. The casual observer would likely be confused by
the term "microfig" and they'd wonder what all these teeny globs of bricks
are doing next to the big spaceships. ( The casual observer probably
wouldn't realize at first that they were supposed to be viewing them as
"large" spaceships)

Would a Space Donut Shop fit into this category? It's 2.5 baseplates long.
Built on an asteroid. ;^)

Space World is sort of bogged down in the "where the heck are we gonna get
webspace" part of the planning. Personally, I despise free hosting sites
because of all the advertising/popups/slowness.

Maybe you could call it Jon's BIG BIG BIG Shipyards?
