No, I didn`t misunderstand. I just provided the numbers for anybody
who`s
curious to imagine the shear size of a HH capitol ship. Also, in these
figures you have to include the fact the capitols have very large ammo
for
their launchers and the heaviest armour posible. I once tried working
out
the size of a HH SD with MT missile launchers, multi layered PH armour,
large reserves of ammo for the launchers and "c" mode pulsars. I came to
a
rough figure of 8500 mass, and didn`t even bother working out the cost
(EPP!!).

These babies are BIG in every sense of the word.
