I know that Silhouette isn't just an indication of size, but also ship purpose, maneuverability, etc...
but what's the largest (dimension-wise) Sil 4 ship you can think of?
I'm building a ship from scratch, and would love to have some actual dimensions to work with, for better deck-plan building...
Thanks,

Citadel is pretty big IIRC, when you consider it's height and width...and the J-type skiff is about 30x50m and still in Sil4 range.
Sounds like if you can fit it all in a roughly 40x40x40m space (give or take 10ish meters), and operate it with a crew of 3 or 4 you'll typically be in Sil 4 range. Get over about 60m in any one direction or something so complex it requires a crew of 10 or more and you'll probably start pushing Sil 5 though.

That ties in with what I was thinking... thanks for the input. Sometimes, you just need to bounce things off of someone else...
Ghostofman is pretty spot on here. When I was working with my Freighter Creation Thread, I was looking at the 50m mark to hit the Silhouette 5 range of things. It seemed to work out in the end, so I'd go with that.
Take a look at the thread if you'd like some extra guidelines, as I mapped out the thought process to help people understand what I was doing in order to get better feedback and to give people the notes so they can make their own.
I’d love to see those notes! Thanks!

If that was aimed at me: those notes are in the first post of the thread. Enjoy!

Uh, yes it was. And no, I didn’t see your link to that thread. D’oh!

I actually spent some time with those notes this morning... more useful than you'd imagine. Thank you!

You're welcome! Glad to know my random notes could be of help!
Also givea listen to the ship building episode of the Order 66 podcast with Jason Marker. That will help as well. Jason Marker is the go to guy at FFG for the ships.

As long as I'm not listening to it, do you remember which episode that was?

The episode was just what I was looking for... glad to hear that I was on the same page as the developer...
Sorry for parasite the topic (again) XD
What difficulty you would consider if that a freighter (Sil 4) docks on a moving galleon (Sil 6)? The freighter is trying to aboard (piracy) the galleon that is trying to scape. Speeds are 4, Handling -3 and Speed 1, Handling -2 respectivelly.
Average (2)? Hard (3)?
