5.1.1 Size
-------------------------

Once the model is complete, the first thing to determine is the Size" rating of the main body of the Platform.  When measuring a Platform's Size", ignore any weapons, devices (including limbs or other manipulators), or propulsion systems (including wings, wheels, helicopter blades, etc.) that extend beyond the main body.  The shape of the Platform will determine how the Size" is calculated.

  CLASS I PLATFORM: Size" = maximum dimension / 10
  ------------------------------------------------
    Class I Platforms are long and narrow enough to be safely defined by
    a single dimension: length.  Examples include wires used to carry
    electricity, poles used to hoist flags, radio towers, and flying
    broomsticks used for witch delivery.  Measure the length of the
    model in inches; this number divided by 10 is the Platform's Size"
    rating.  In general, the length of a Class I Platform is limited to
    five inches times its civilization's TekLevel.

  CLASS II PLATFORM: Size" = maximum dimension / 2
  ------------------------------------------------
    Class II Platforms are mostly-flat surfaces having only two
    significant dimensions, although that surface might twist and turn
    (in the case of a winding road) or fold in different directions (in
    the case of an encircling wall).  Examples include paved roads,
    freestanding walls and fences, dams, rafts, snowboards, drift nets,
    and flying carpets.  Measure the longest dimension of the surface in
    inches; this number divided by 2 is the Platform's Size" rating.
    Horizontal surfaces may be of any size; vertical surfaces taller
    than (TL x 3) Brix in height must be treated as a Class III
    Platform.

  CLASS III PLATFORM: Size" = maximum dimension
  ------------------------------------------------
    Class III Platforms, the most common by far, are fully three-
    dimensional.  Any structure that has an 'inside' is a Class III
    Platform, regardless of how flat or narrow it may appear to be.
    Examples include dumpsters, tunnels, surface-to-air missile
    batteries, office buildings, Stonehenge, lighthouses, aircraft
    carriers, and flying saucers.  Find the two most distant points on
    opposite sides of the model and measure the number of inches between
    them (this may require some rough estimation).  This number is the
    Platform's Size" rating.  A Class III Platform can cover
    any amount of horizontal area, but its height above ground and depth
    below ground are limited to one Story times its civilization's
    TekLevel, squared.

    For very small Class III Platforms, rather than measuring inches, it
    may be more appropriate to compare its size to a number of 2x4 Blox.
    A minifig or a motorcycle, for example, is considered to be
    equivalent to one Blok, and therefore its Size" would be 1.

  | * - A Platform with no Power Source has its base CP cost halved.   |
  |     Any devices or Siege Weapons mounted on the Platform must be   |
  |     loaded and fired by manual labor; these also have their CP     |
  |     costs halved.                                                  |
