I dunno... I LOVE the design of it... but you would think a Battlecruiser would be... bigger maybe? This is more of a 'cruiser' size.
game-craft.com/blog/wp-content… is a good start for ship sizes, as it's more realistic towards having a crew on such a... tiny vessel...? A ship of ONLY 58.6m would probably ONLY need... about 6 specialists, and STILL have room, comfortably, for a decent 5+ security/counter-invasion crew.
A ship of something 8 times the size, would only need a crew of about 40, and still have room, comfortably, for 20+ security/counter-invasion personnel.

And just noticed that I'm about 4 years late... so please pardon me.
