That's extremely small for a 35 km disc of a transport. You could haul millions of metric tons of cargo.

it would be better if it was a dome shape...

use the guide:
50m long = 150 square tons of cargo space
so approx.
35,000m = 105,000 square tons of cargo space...

I didn't know it was a BFG ship. heh, i don't play BFG, so i wouldn't know.
And it's dedicated to hauling people, not cargo. all cargo space is external, and you still have to figure in such things as drives, weapons, landing bays, etc

((It is a cruiser class for the Imperials... and yes you would need to figure that in as well, except for things such as engines and drives, for they are integral to the working of the ship and are already included. Although, since this is a transport, why need weapons? If you have landing bays, you could have a small fighter screen.))

It's got barely enoguh room for it's frew hundred surface-to-space craft, so a fihgter screen is out. and the weapons were only added becasue of political reasons. Only 165 weapons over the entire surface of a ship that big?

What the bloody hell is a "square ton". Meaningless units mean dick all, in case you didn'y know that.
As it stands this ship, being conservative using the 4km height, would have a volume of 3.8e12 m^3, or 3.8 trillion cubic meters. Assuming just 1 percent is cargo space, ultra-conservatice since the things is bloody freighter, that leaves 3.8e10 m^3 of volume. If we assume 1 metric ton per 100 cubic-meters, anothe absurdly conservative assumption, we get 3.8e8 metric tons. That's 380 million metric tons of cargo as a conservative lower limit for internal cargo space.
If we go by 10 meter tall containers on the flat sides of the ship for external cargo capacity. This would be 100% cargo space, so you would get 9.6e9 m^3. That's 96 million metric tons of cargo per flat side. The toral external capacity would be 192 million metric tons.
You're full of it.
