Well, depends what role you're using them for, if they're the 
equivalent of big capitals (i.e. the largest non-super-ship in play), 
then 250-500 MASS.

Well, I know it can be definitely shown that it is _not_ about 1717m, 
I think the best value (based on comparisons with B5, the size of 
which _is_ known) is between 1200 and 1320m.

Oh, and there is _no_Way_ that White Stars are 465m long, 465' OTOH...

Almost all B5 ship sizes quoted on the Web are wrong, probably 
including these :-)

You may have guessed this is a long-standing gripe for me :-)
