I said it once, the way I work is that if a ship cannot hold what I plan for it to be able to hold, it is too small, if it cannot fill the role I plan for it to fill then it wont. If I want to rule through fear to keep local systems in line, then fine I'll do so. if I want to make a 40KM long starship to fill a set role then I'll do so.
But like I said my ships are as long as 14KM in length or round. each one has a role to fill in the entire fleet. multirole ships in fact. If a ship cannot fill a role I wont make it, unless I planned for a multirole ship, Sure it would cost a lot, but some of the starships I have seen online are just so freaking SMALL that none of them would be able to fill any of the roles I'd personally have in mind for a starship fleet.
For example a starship said to be larger than the Daedalus, but looks like the Daedalus in overall shape, just larger, is still too small to me because it is only 634 meters long {the Daedalus was what 600 meters long ?} the roles designed for it are all out of whack because it is just too small, it wont fit those roles, period. If you want a massive warship, make one.
I'm not one to bash ones imagination, so if you want a starship to be a realistic size, fine by me.
In fact what makes it fun in the Multiverse, is that my faction is allies with another faction, sure my faction is smaller that all the other factions, but it is growing, forge worlds, hive worlds, death worlds, any kind of worlds in the galaxy in question {in this case Corus Galaxy} have the means and manpower to construct starships to a set size for the roles I want filled. Heck one of the factions I am allied with have ships twice the size of mine. I do not debate with them on ship sizes, I find them very realistic
And as a writer I aim for as realistic as possible, then go from there with my imagination.
