The Calbirian Complexity Scale

[Calbiri]

I appreciate that alot of people enjoy the standard ship mass classification systems used by MrFurb and Nameless

• http://star-made.org/content/blitzwings-guideline-ship-classifications
• http://star-made.org/content/nameless-guide-ship-classifications

But I felt their was an alternate classing system needed for ships, not to show their weight, but to represent their complexity. The easiest method to show that is to designate ships based on their file size (#kb). So here is my humble submission for use in determining just how intricate a given ship is. (yes, larger ships will tend to be higher classed for the obvious reason that they have more room to be complex within.)

*This is my first attempt at this list, I may adjust the scale after some feedback (pictures may break as well, ill try to fix those ASAP)

Title Icon • Preferred Title (you pick)

Which file? Weird I cannot find .sment files anymore, did they get removed?

Well ok ill take the whole blueprint folder for certain ships for you to compare.

Novak-439kb(mass:~4600)

well this is where things get interesting :P

Aeon(mass:68312.8) (unfinished in its current state at this very time)-3.64mb

there is 2 ship files (.smd2) in the Aeon blueprint/DATA folder, one is 2220kb, the other one is 1085kb

I am not after a title, just posted so you could use the info.

when you \"upload\" a ship, it tells you the data amount it is uploading.

Yes, schema changed all sment files to ship folder/files now, it was neccescary to incorporate turret/dock and setting saves to be included with the ship saves.

To find these files look in /starmade/blueprints then right click on your ships name (the entire folder) then select properties, it then displays the data size (as well as other info)

you know how to balance the complexity a lil, tough not fully, build pure cube ship some regular armor in sizes 10 mass to 200k mass, 200k mass file size should be what you will be interested in. that should be considered Emporor, but yeah, I know, it is bit pain :P

My most complex is just into king/queen class.

I like this scale :D

a giant cube isnt very complex, i like this system, because it grades on form, and function, not girth

this is a good way to class your ships
