Okay, i was spitballing ideas for Gree & other 'alien' ships, & came up with this:
| Quote: | Gree Cargo Cube Bulk Freighter
Capital, Length 300 meters
Gree Cargo Cube Medium Freighter
Capital, Length 100 meters
Gree Cargo Cube Light Freighter
Starfighter, Length 30 meters
Gree Cargo Cube Shuttle
Starfighter, Length 15 meters
Gree Cargo Cube Airspeeder
Walker, Length 9 meters
Gree Cargo Cube Utility Speeder
Speeder, Length 3 meters |
Now, regarding Cargo Capacities, since the biggest is 3x the Length, Beam/Width & Height/Depth of the the 2nd biggest, or 3 x 3 x 3 = 27, so the Gree Cargo Cube Medium Freighter has 1/27th the CC of the Gree Cargo Cube Bulk Freighter.
Now, do i set the Medium Freighter @ Cargo Capacity: 6,000 metric tons (Nebulon-B Frigate) or higher?
What do you guys & gals think?

If the latter, then "medium" freighters would have cargo capacities of 200-20,000 metric tons. 6,000 is in that range. |
Hmn, some interesting points to consider, thanks, Whill!
Q: Are these ships used by Gree in the Imperial era?
A: Probably, i just haven't worked out all the details yet...
Q: Do these ships operate in the Empire?
A: Only one so far...
Q: Are these ships named by Gree in ancient times, or do the names conform to the modern Imperial era hauling capability standards?
A: Most certainly Gree in ancient times, names most modern sapient beings would have trouble understanding & pronouncing, so i used more familiar terms there.
Ok! Thanks for the link to where the issue of Cargo Capacities was addressed! That is quite helpful!
◼ Light Freighters up to 200 metric tons
◼ Medium Freighters 200 to 20,000 metric tons
◼ Bulk Freighters 20,000 metric tons & up...
Lets try...
⬜ Gree Cargo Cube Bulk Freighter 10 million metric tons
◻ Gree Cargo Cube Medium Freighter 370370.37037037037037037037037037 metric tons
◽ Gree Cargo Cube Light Freighter 13717.421124828532235939643347051 metric tons
▫ 508.05263425290860133109790174262 metric tons
well that didn't work out but...
⬜ Gree Cargo Cube Bulk Freighter 145,800 metric tons
◻ Gree Cargo Cube Medium Freighter 5,400 metric tons
◽ Gree Cargo Cube Light Freighter 200 metric tons
▫ Gree Cargo Cube Shuttle 50 metric tons
▫ Gree Cargo Cube Airspeeder 7.41 metric tons
▫ Gree Cargo Cube Utility Speeder 0.275 metric tons, convert to kilograms? 275 kilograms
i think this'll work! Thanks Whill!
