Battlestar Galactica (600m)

All of the above data were derived from a series of formulas, as follows:
1) Length doubles in size for each step up in Frame
2) Width is .3 Length for Standard ships, .35 for Bulk, and .4 for Capital
3) Height is .2 Length for Standard ships, .25 for Bulk, and .3 for Capital
4) Crew is equal to (Frame) to the power of (Frame – 1). Bulk ships require 50% more crew, Capital ships 100% more crew.
5) Fighters carried in a Fighter Bay (if present) are (Frame -1 ) * (Frame to the power of Frame – 3). Again 150% for Bulk, 200% for Capital.

Note that working from these formula you can reverse-engineer most science fiction starships. Serenity, for instance, really does carry 9 crew and 2 shuttles. The Millenium Falcon has a crew of 2 with no shuttles. Battlestar Galactica can carry around 150 fighters with over 1,000 crew.
