Oh, the generations are just a sort of abstract system I use to refer to ships from a certain era of the RP/shipbuilding. Generation 3 would include Countdown II, Stratosphere II, IATG's most recent ship whose name I forget, Fission, Macross, and pretty much all the other recent ones. Gen3s are loosely defined as being around 600-1250m in length/width, and usually carry around 5-15 204cm guns. Generation 4 is probably getting near the limit of what can be made in BSC, being >1000m long and having tons of weapons of just about every kind. The only ships I would consider to be Generation 4s would probably be Atlantis, Freedom, and Peregrine. Shadow of Darkened Skies II, Psycho II, and Spire are somewhere in between third and fourth.
