3,000 ton corvette
10,000 ton frigates (rounding up)
30,000 ton destroyers
100,000 ton cruisers (decided to round up)
300,000 ton dreadnoughts
1,000,000 ton super dreadnoughts (again, rounding up)
Its large, I know, but I usually give my ships a lot of extra utilities like tractor beams and emergency cryo and Gauss point defense. I also have a rule of having an ECCM for every fire control and 1 fire control for every six weapons.
I might also have sub classes in between, like a batlecruisers at 150,000 tons or something. These large jumps give me some flexibility.
