Negacolette: I put back the size suggestions and tried to explain why they exist. People often ask for guidelines so I think they should be here, even if adhering to it is completely optional

-The terms "Heavy" and "Light" are often used as well to modify a classification.  Heavy typically indicates that a ship is used in a role above its size class.  Light typically indicates that a ship is slightly smaller than its functional class.  For example, a Heavy Corvette or a Light Destroyer would refer to roughly equivalent ships.

 "Dreadnaught" is another term you may hear in the context of classifying SHIPs.  This usually refers to an exceptionally large and powerful vessel, or one that defies conventional classification.

 ==SHIP Classes==
-The proper categorization of SHIPs is under constant debate.  Many space powers loosely base their classification on naval classes, using relative size and general function as guidance.  The most important rule is, of course, "Everyone is the Boss of Their Own Toys" and can use whatever method of classification they please.
+The proper categorization of SHIPs is under constant debate, probably because it's more about dick measuring than anything else.  Many space powers loosely base their classification on naval classes, using relative size and general function as guidance.  The most important rule is, of course, "Everyone is the Boss of Their Own Toys" and can use whatever method of classification they please.
-Here are a list of common classes you can use for inspiration, going roughly from smallest to largest.
+It must be noted that physical size is not a requirement for any given class.  However, they are most commonly used on SHIPs because 30" tends to be the minimum size needed to fit the typical hallmarks of capital ships at minifig scale, such as hangar bays, throne rooms, distinct command bridges, hallways, big turrets, and toilets.

-Keep in mind that these classes are by no means exclusive to SHIPs. There are many cruisers, battleships, etc, that measure less than 100 studs.
