As a part of some WOIN work that I'm doing, creating content for a setting to be used with it, I tried to convert a starship over to using the setting. Now, for its universe, it's a large cruiser, but still just a cruiser, clocking in at just over a kilometre long. However, upon converting it to WOIN's starship construction system, it was about 455,000 CUs. This is way, way beyond anything documented in the system's books. I'd be willing to bet that it's class L, at least, and this is by no means the largest starship in the universe - some larger ones clock in at about 20 kilometres long. I shudder to calculate those CU values...
Anyway, if I want this starship to fit into WOIN, what's my best option? Should I just scale down my stuff by a couple of orders of magnitude for game purposes, or would it be better to work on a new scale that's more accommodating to my massive ships?
And while I'm at it, how do you calculate the CU and crew values of higher classes, anyway? We're not given that kind of information for anything above class XVIII, and my attempts to figure out a formula in a spreadsheet have ended in failure.
