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

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?
