So I made a mistake in calculating the size of the ship. Which as it turns out is a good thing cause then the ship stats make more sense. The ship is a lot smaller then I originally stated, roughly 45m.
I must have done the math wrong when I calculated from meters to feet. I also calculated this time that every space was 2m.
There are 45 squares that make up The Prime. So the mistake was 45*2m = 90 (Why I did that I don't know) I then took 90 *3 (3 feet estimate per meter) for 270 feet. Which if you look at www.merzo.net/
the length of a neb b frigate was 300m. I forgot I converted the 90 meters to 270 FEET, so that is where the size of the Prime came in.

I should have just kept it at 45 squares = 45m and be done. Which is how it stands now. 45m makes the ship half the size of Rebel Troop Transport. The big round ships from Empire Strikes Back during the evacuation of Hoth.

So, I also desided to check into the size of our other ships. I can never rememeber fully which ship Dan pilots, I think it was this one:
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Eta-2_Actis-class_light_interceptor
Which has demensions of
Length 5.47 meters
Width 4.3 meters
Height/depth 2.5 meters (wings extended)

Which EASILY fits inside the Prime.
Even this one
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Delta-7_Aethersprite-class_light_interceptor

Fits in the prime only being 8m, 8m is about the size of the cargo loader in the picture below.

A Bwing on the other hand could fit if some of the cargo was moved. At a length 16.9 meters it takes up almost 9 squares.
We can talk about modifications tonight.

The Whistle on the other hand might not be welcome in the hanger at a length of 19.2 meters. It takes up one more square then the bwing but there is no way it can be folded up. The Whistle can fit in the lower right part (going horizontally) of the hanger but then it would be blocking that computer station. If you moved the cargo loader and some of that cargo the Whistle could fit vertically over there. So only in some rare instances will the Whistle enter the Prime.

The big panels for the flor of the prime are 4m x 4m, the little squares are 2m.

Looking at the ship there are some things I'd like to change, but I did this years ago and in order to rebuild it I'd have to start over from scratch.

oops

I messed up again and remembered why I came up with 90 meters.

I counted 45 squares for the prime, that is 45 two meter squares. Every square is 2m x 2m.

So the prime is 90m the exact same size as the rebel transport.

The falcon is estimated Length 34.75 meters

prime is almost three times as big

I made this picture to illustrate: Note I used an awing rather then Dan's ship, but shrunk it enough that the space it takes up should be close to accurate.
Keep in mind that this isn't 100% accurate.

tell the new republic i want a reconstructed star destroyer as my ship lol. Just kidding...lol

So is the prime like the size of Tantive IV? It sounds like its a lot smaller but honestly I think Tantive IV is a good size for the kind of ship we want....

The Prime Updated Again

Added quarters for Kahn, Rage, Fenrir, and Farrell.

Also shows where Sebastian's lab is as well as sick bay and the brig.

Keep in mind that each square is 2m. So each square is 6 ft by 6ft. So if you can visualize that each square is about the size of a normal sized person, then that should realize that the space isn't that cramped.

For example Sebastian's lab:
It is 3 squares deep. 3x6=18 Feet deep.
and 2 squares wide on the bottom half and 1 square wide on the other. In the narrowest part it is 18 feet by 6 feet, and the widest part it is 12 feet. I'd have to really measure that out, but it seems rather big.
