Vote:
Battle Cruiser or Juggernaut?

Battle Cruiser would go between Cruiser and Battleship, whereas Juggernaut would be the biggest warship size, between Dreadnought and Baseship (which is more of a cross between a starbase and a ship).

Why are people voting "Battle Cruiser"?

Why even ask for this vote?

"...whereas Juggernaut would be the biggest warship size, between Dreadnought and Baseship (which is more of a cross between a starbase and a ship)."

Because it is a community standard, not a Fyron standard...

Mainly because size is all relative. You only get one "biggest ship hull", and the final number of ship hulls is the same.

It all comes down to the popularity of the name itself.
And we all like our SE3/4 battlecruisers.

There is more to it than that; a "battle cruiser" will tend to look like a cruiser, and a "juggernaut" will tend to look like a dreadnought. Where the hull fits in the size line matters as far as what the models end up looking like.

Maybe you could post the entire string of shipnames according to tonnage? I kind of lost track...

A BC is a Battleship with less armor. Which means its faster than BB's and as fast/armored as a CA.

In most SE4 shipsets, the battle cruiser tends to look like a big cruiser, rather than a small battleship.

Only if the shipset designer is short of ideas

Which describes 80+ percent of shipsets that have been made for SE4...
