Hmm.  At this point, I'd say there are too many categories.  I'd back off
on the differentiation for now.  If a category gets too big, you can • always
split it later.

    Yep there won't shouldn't be any more category splits for a while.


BTW, could you switch my Spaceship BR to the 'scientific' group?  It's
definitely not a capital ship.  The crew probably won't be more than 20 or
so.

    Well I put it in the Science Category but I really think that thats a
big ship. If crew is the issue well Bardiel will only have a crew around
this size. Actually I don't really consider even the biggest ships on the
site to be true "capital ships". Considering that if you loosely scale up a
stud to a foot then even Bardiel is only 270 feet long. Sounds big but
compare it to:

747    -231 ft
Arleigh Burke class Destroyer -466 ft
John F. Kennedy Air craft Carrier  -1052

I personally consider a "capital ship" to be destroyer size or larger. And
my ship is only a little bigger than a 747 in length

We won't go into width problems brought up by a minifig.

My point is that the ships on the site are considered "Capital size" if they
are over 60 studs in length. I think it should be more like 100 but we'll
get into that later.

    Anyway.. where did the term "Capital" come from? Anyone know the true
definition of this?
