I'm not sure I know much. Like, how many engines does it have? How many guns? Why is its shielding as good as the pool ship's, as stated in book 54? I would think a larger, more important vessel, would have better shielding.

Ya mean Seerowpedia? ;)

I always pictured that the number of blades would depend on the rank of the Visser that possessed it: V3 would have three, V2 two, etc; and V1 would have a single rotating blade 8)

that would be expensive for a higher-ranking visser. wouldn't 1 get the most? :P

I would like to know how big it is, comparable to a Pool Ship. Sometimes it is described as massive, but other times it seems small (comparably).

We know a Pool Ship is at least 15 floors (#5), and I'm going to go out on a limb and say it may be as many as 30. So how big is a Blade Ship? How many Bug Fighters can it hold? How big is the docking bay? How is it laid out?

I wish I knew! I do know it is partially made of Ramonite (a la MM1), but I think that's just like holding areas/cages...

Yeah, actual sized would be good. We know blade ships can dock inside pool ships, and likely more than one. But how big is a pool ship?

Visser Three's ship was built like some ancient weapon. It reminded me of one of those
battle-axes the old-time knights used when they were hacking off the heads of their foes.
There was a main part, like the handle of the ax, with a big, triangular point on the front. That
part had to be the bridge. At the rear were two huge, scimitar wings. It was eight or ten times
the size of the Bug fighters.

The first book says this.

I forgot that. And bug fighters are about the size of buses, right?

Yea so if a bus is 37-39 feet then a blade ship is 304 - 380 feet long.

So that's bigger than a football field, which is a hundred yards long. Man, how did he land that thing in a construction site?
