On the subject of large ships (drawn from SFC, the earlier 3 having been set in TOS/TMP time....), the federation battleship (BB, being larger than DN....) had two deflector dish-hulls, about six warp nacelles, and I think i read somewhere that either it or its romulan counterpart needed it's nacelles replacing about every six months...if we assume that would be about 16km long, and about 10km wide, we have a ship of enourmous size, which, (from personal experience, here..Smile ) is too slow to do anything in a fight with anything other than another BB....so they would be useless except for Starbase or homeworld assaults (by homeworld, i mean as in starbase is to space station as homeworld is to planet kinda thing...) you can picture a fleet of 'em closing in on a planet, and the captains chair, "The Battleship is cleared to fire" (-recognise the quote?)

That kind of ship only exists in fanboy wetdreams. It's ridiculously huge, ridiculously uneconomical, and emphatically fanfic.
Somehow I don't think I'm providing your long, drawn-out debate
