May end up changing again in the future if the submission guidelines are updated

Please see my comment on the issue you're attempting to fix: #1962 (comment)

Tile count is not the only determiner. With this change, given the current rules, several ships actually get an incorrect size classification. Please update your PR according to the rules and we can get this merged. :)

In the spreadsheet I linked I manually gathered the dimensions (height and width) of the ships and compared that to the guidelines as well as evaluated the total footprint (area of length x width) compared with tile count in order to come up with a list of ships to adjust.

19 ships did not match based on the longest dimension (width/height).
7 of those were very narrow and well within the recommended tile count, so I did not adjust those.
7 are mail pod variants which are only 1 tile over at 9x5, so I believe it is correct to leave them in the micro category
5 remaining are changed in this pull request

The Hammer is currently a Medium, but it is only 1 tile over at 17x14 and I believe the 'feel' of the ship is that of a small vessel, so I added a change to small which is in line to how the mail pod is currently handled. If others do not agree with that suggestion I can revert it.

The Pioneer is 9x5 as the other mail pod variants, but it is the only one listed as a small. I changed this one to micro for consistency as even though it is not strictly speaking the same layout as a mail pod it does share the same dimensions.

If you have any specific alterations you would like to recommend for individual ships, please let me know and I will address them based on the consensus of the group.

Whenever a suitable criterion is found, it should be added to the shipyard tests.

My understanding is that there was not an automated solution to determining the dimensions and tile counts of a given ship file when I was skimming through discord? That might involve parsing the mapping file which would be Fun

Why closed?

I was told there is still ongoing discussion on how ships should be classified and this will require revisions in order to close, and the merge conflict will need to be addressed. Once I get feedback on what should be implemented I can correct and reopen.
