| '''Size'''
| | Perhaps the most important characteristic of a hull is its Size, which dictates the length, beam (width), height, mass and number of decks which the ship possesses. In this system Size is rated along a scale ranging from 1 (probes and small shuttles) to 16 (a large Borg cube), though ships of Sizes beyond 16 may certainly exist. |

| Perhaps the most important characteristic of a hull is its Size, which dictates the length, beam (width), height, mass and number of decks which the ship possesses. In this system Size is rated along a scale ranging from 1 (probes and small shuttles) to 16 (a large Borg cube), though ships of Sizes beyond 16 may certainly exist. Size does no cost weight or power, but does factor into the weight cost of many systems.
| | The accompanying table indicates ranges for the Length, Beam, and Height of ships for each Size category. The ranges are guidelines, so you may vary the entries a little here and there. If your ship has dimensions which fit into different categories (for example, a length of 612 meters [Size 8], a beam of 350 meters [Size 7], and a height of 130 meters [Size 8], usually you should use its length to determine its Size, or choose the size into which most of its dimensions fall. The Game Master has the final say on a ship's Size category, and can alter various parameters if they don't fit their preconceptions of what a particular ship should be like. |

| Also included in the table is the number of SUs for each Size category. Again, the numbers listed are a range, to allow for flexibility. Players should assign their ships the number of SUs necessary for all pertinent systems (plus a reasonable amount for expansion), not simply because they choose the highest number they can. Game Masters must approve all SU totals for a ship based on Size.
| |
| | |
| Note that the Starship Size Table does not include an entry for the number of decks a ship has. This is because a ship's decks are a function of its purpose and design and much as they are its height. A good rule of thumb, each deck on a ship occupies 3 - 5 meters of height, but this can vary tremendously.

| '''Important Notes'''
| |
| | |
| *'''Base Hull''': This figure is added to the amount from both [[Star Trek Starship Outer and Inner Hull Structures|Outer and Inner Hull Structures]] to get the Total Hull protection.
| |
| :*Starfighter Scale: To get the Base Hull Rating for a starfighter scale ship, simply double the Base Hull rating. This number is then added to the Resistance ratings from [[Star Trek Starship Outer and Inner Hull Structures|Outer and Inner Hull Structures]] normally.
| |
| *'''Base Maneuverability''': This rating is added to the vessels maneuverability rating from its [[Star Trek Starship Propulsion Systems|Propulsion System]]. If the ship has no sublight drive, then disregard the maneuverability ratings altogether. | |
