Default Re: [Spaceships] Hull size of Falcon...

I could be convinced either way. Since it's roughly twice the dimensions of an X-Wing or Y-Wing, but bulkier (that size is all "body" rather than wings and booms), and the fighters probably a largish SM+5, I'd probably go with SM+8.

Also, there's "Stubby cylinders, teardrops, saucers, and other more complex shapes average about 50%-75% of this length." (Spaceships, p 9, emphasis added)

Very good point. I had extrapolated the size chart out to accommodate the Death Star which, being spherical, qualifies for 50% of the measured size it would normally qualify for its diameter.
