I always took it to mean 1,000 Tons, ie big brutes. Makes sense really. You need something big to cram all the systems into them the game has. And to withstand the rigors of space travel. A Honor Harrington Superdreadnaught weighs in at about 8,300,000 tons, ie 8300kT, much larger then a baseship. A HH Battlecruiser weighs in at about 850,000 tons, ie 850kT. But then the HH ships gets progressivelly larger the higher up in class they come then the hulls in SE4. Been thinking about putting together a HH techset with shipsizes and componentsizes such that you can design and build ships with similar size and armament as the HH ships. Probably won't though as it would be way to much work. Might just adjust the ship sizes though.

BC crews are about 700 souls and SD crews are about 6000 souls but the RMN could lower that with more automated systems.

My point is the ship sizes makes sense in a sf kind of way.
