Seems like the best place to request these. Anyways, this is a request for Moon-Sized ships to be added into the classifications as Sub-Titans.
Sub-Titan:A class of ship around as big as the Earth's moon, literally. These fall in between Super-Capitals and Titans, and are obviously very massive ships. I cant say these to be the limitations, but my own suggestions concerning them is this:
-Only one Sub Titan per week(your still allowed your other four ships)
-A maximum of three Sub-Titans per faction(assuming they're capable of producing them)
-Each one must have a unique type requested for them(meaning each one would be unique).
Aaaand thats it that I can think of. Again, thats only suggestions, but still, I think thats fair.

Zak Likes.
Non-staff, useless approve
-
* UnStellar would approve but is not the staff member to talk about when it comes to ships.
-
Only thing I have against it is that they each have to be unique. How come?
-
They're like Titans, basically. Titans are those extra-powered ships, the only difference is you can have more than one of these as a class ship, but you wouldn't have multiples of the same one. Its kinda like a Titan; I mean, from a IC perspective, you could ask why an Empire wouldn't just make a few of them if the have the ability to make the first. Sorta the same thing here.
But, like I said, those are just suggestions. If you wanna remove that, go ahead. I just thought it'd fit.
-
Eh... my titan is just an super-powered version of my super-capital ship's cannon, with five additional ones. I don't see why they have to be different.
-
Well, mine isn't. I mean its a super ship.
-
Well...Then I guess they dont HAVE to be different. In any case, you guys think this is good?
-
I suppose. What do you think Gaser, Hikaru, Zumi?
-
I think so. It makes sense. A continent and a planet would leave a huge gap for something in between. Too much to be left behind. I dunno why I didn't see it before, but I think it's a good idea. Approved... if that's the right word.

I think I've found a problem... Super-capitals are already the size of the moon and greater. The surface area of the moon is 3.793 × 107 km2, or 37,930,000 km2. North America, the size of my Dreadnoughts has an area of 24,709,000 km2. But that's only when flattened. If we make it 3D, the surface area of my Dreadnought would be close to, if not greater than, the moon's surface area. We have bigger ships, like Orph's, which are the size of Asia, which is 44,579,000 km2 in area. There is another set of ships that is the size of Eurasia, which is the combination of Europe and Asia together, summing up to 54,759,000 km2. Asia and Eurasia are already bigger than the moon, even when flat.
My suggestion is to make sub-titans the size of Earth, and titans the size of gas giants and bigger. Here's the current class sizes.
Fighter: F-16
Corvette: White House
Frigate: Downtown LA
Capital: New York
Super-capital: Continent
Titan: Planet-sized
Megalith: Sun to Solar System
The newer edition should be:
Fighter: F-16.
Corvette: Between fighter and frigate.
Frigate: Downtown LA to LA county.
Sub-capital (does not need to be requested to be made): Between frigate and capital.
Capital: New York to Alaska
Super-capital: Larger than capital to Eurasia.
Sub-titan: Between Super-capital and titan.
Titan: Earth to Jupiter.
Super-titan: Between titan and megalith.
Megalith: Mercury's orbit and bigger.
