The weight of starships..

To be honest, I find this rather strange. There's no weight on like...any starship in the SWU. Well as far as I know, what with all this information on everything that a starship has, no one bothered to figure out actual weight?

Is there any way to figure the weight out of starships otherwise? If anyone knows.

Could we use their cargo capacity as an indicator? The length/width? Something?

weight is zero in space, assume you mean mass

There are starship masses listed in some sourcebooks, but most of them are ridiculously small. With the exception of Saxton, SW authors basically uniformly suck at math.

Obviously weight is zero in space, I mean when the ship is on a planet or atmosphere, mass fine, whatever, you know what I mean.

Really? I've never seen any mass noted for any of the books I've seen.

She is right.
But it seamn that Durasteal is lighter tougher and easier to produce than regular steel,it is also a perfect carbonated iron.

The thing about mass is, it's pretty hard to judge what a realistic mass would be, and it is probably better off left out.

But they can guess everything else..

Who cares?

Deriding others because they don't share your interests? I'd say that's a new low for you but given thought it's par for the course.

For small cruser just go with the weigh of regular steel...
