Bounty class (insert choice)

The Bounty Class Something!
I don't know a backstory for it, but it is a UNEC cruiser/frigate. You get to decide the cruiser/frigate part. It will become the basis of size in the microscale rules I'm working on.

My Microscale ship rankings:
Strike Craft= Fighters and Bombers. 1-3 crew members, 10-15 meters long
Frigate=Small, fast ship, normally used in squads, weak on their own but strong in numbers, and less durable. 300-350 meters long with a crew of 300-750
Destroyer=A middle ground between frigate and cruiser. 350-450 meters long with a crew of 750-1000
Cruiser=Step up from frigate, balance between firepower, speed, and durability. 450-600 meters long wih a crew of 1000-3000
Battlecruiser= A middle ground between cruiser and battleship. 600-750 meters long and a crew of 1000-3000
Battleship=Huge, slow behemoths that have massive firepower and durability but little speed and maneuvering abilities. 750-1500 Meters long and has a crew of 3000-5000

what is the crew compliment?
5-10 I would say a frigate, over 10 I would say cruiser.

I said Frigate, but it looks corvette-sized if you ask me.

In my Microspace rules, Corvettes are just fighters which can carry a wider variety of weapons. This looks more like a frigate.

Sorry, to scale it is supposed to be about 350 meters long, has a crew compliment of about 300, can carry 100 space marines, 5 trucks, 2 tanks, and a squadron of Strike Craft. That is, if it's a frigate. My "microscale" ships aren't "microscale", it's just the word I use as "it isn't to scale".

I'll update my ship table now.

That is definitely a Frigate.

I say destroyer, it has a few weapons but looks too big and cumbersome to be a frigate and too small for a cruiser

I agree Cpl. Halan, it does look like a destroyer. That's what I think it is.
