Hello! My name is B.

The only hard numbers for a large ship (or really any ship in the setting other than the Cass') that I can think of are what Beatrice tells us about Inexorable - and while she doesn't specify her class, she's apparently running this 800 kiloton vessel with a crew of 3200 for ... the heck of it?
On an individual level, mom would of course be a problem and somewhat confined to bulk cargo holds and hangar bays, but the wyrmlings aren't any taller than the top end of Leithans and thus shouldn't pose any huge issues on a vessel built for multispecies use.
Handling the full blooded frostwyrms would just be a matter of adapting a cargo bay or two and rebuilding some adjacent structures into a proper lair and set of rooms and suit her and the brood. Really I'm more concerned over the height and width of the ship as a design like SW Star Destroyers wouldn't serve as a design that would convert well, but W40k ship design (as far as the sorts of dimensions they go for) would serve very well. I mean they got ship designs that transport fucking Titans around.
what size of titan, as i recall theres about five class with each one getting progressively bigger and the smallest was about the same size of the statue of liberty maybe slightly taller.
Shape doesn't really matter for vessels of that size. We're talking about the equivalent of 8 US super carriers glued together and operated by a private individual in the way some foundations currently do old sailing schooners. From that, it seems clear to me that bigger Tits-verse ships are built on a scale that can easily carry Frosty in comfort if you convert a hold or hangar to living space, the problems I was referring to was just having to do that work rather than using a ship as-is. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
All of them. They have to get from the forgeworld to the front after all. It's often quipped that 40k escorts are comparable to other franchises' capitals, and in a lot of cases, that's not even a joke.
Warhound Scout Titans, which are the smallest titans are approximately 14 m in height (about 45 feet), while Emperor Titans are the largest, but their height is all over the place because none of the writers got together and confirmed anything, so they range from 60 meters to 100 (just to point out as well that one particular titan appeared in two different stories and has been listed at 43 meters and in an earlier novel at 140 meters in height).
Ships in 40k are ridiculous in size and crew capacity. A heavy frigate might only be 1.5 km in length, but would have a crew of about 25000. Meanwhile, a Universe Class Mass Conveyor would be 12 km in length and capable of carrying half a million passengers.
So at least the kips might have some decent space to spread their wings!

New plan: Frostwyrms can breathe in space. There, solution found!
A fun scene, I think, would be cramming Frosty into a cargo hold and moving her to a different planet. When she gets out, in an unfamiliar world, she stretches her wings and gets some exercise by flying and hitting her top speed as fast as she can.
It'd be fun to describe the visage of a 20ft tall Frostwyrm dive-bombing at speeds upwards of hundreds of kilometers an hour and calling it her exercise.

I've now got the image of going through customs with Frosty and your unruly brood after having explaining the concept of customs to her in my head.
It's an entertaining image.

Now, I`m imagining all the shenanigans the couple get into as Steele takes her to all the planets he/she's visited as they go on dates, after meeting/scaring the crew (and making Azra super happy).
Mhenga: Frosty clings to the top of a tree and Steele learns that Frostwyrms are innately terrified of slithering creatures that lack legs.
New Texas: After a debacle at customs, Gov. T is called in. He tries to sell Frosty on living there with the hopes of having her as the ultimate in anti-varmint technology but promptly changes his mind when he remembers the treatment is (somewhat) mandatory for residents and he can't put the cowgirls in danger of a randy, treated frostwyrm.
Tarkus: Frosty is swarmed by raskvel worshipping her and wanting her eggs. She's like Chaurmine only more desirable to them. Why want a nine foot dragon's babies when you vould have a twenty-six foot dragon's babies. Shekka laments that she thought she fixed this problem.
Myrellion: Both myr forces try to entice Frosty to join their army with promises of honey and whatnot. The off-planet forces demand Stelle to leave as if they aren't letting the myr have ships, there's no way they let them have an army of impenetrable dragons.
Canadia: Kiro thinks "Wow. I know you love sex, honey, but damn." Frosty is introduced to alcohol but isn't told where it came from. Kally keeps returning looking more and more haggard from the backroom milker after every order for a barrel of the stuff.
Tavros: Frosty and Steele go on a shopping spree while getting some odd looks. Maybe Frosty gets a collar or something whih she promptly loses in the snow on Uveto as she takes it off before entering her lair (no clothes allowed!).

I guess you could also go the lewd route. I'll put those in the form of children book titles.
Mhenga/Myrellion: Frosty's introduction to aphrodisiacs!
New Texas: Frosty gets milked!
Tarkus: Frosty's first grey goo onahole!
Canadia: Frosty wants more alcohol and Kally has her biggest cum cascade!
Tavros: Frosty visits the strip club!
I personally prefer the lighthearted dates more.

Introducing Frosty to Terensha seems like an interesting idea.
Also a thought for crew Frosty; Kip gangbang of Celsie.
"There once was a kui-tan princess named Kiro. She lived in the tallest tower in a castle on top of the tallest spire on Uveto. She was guarded by a massive, terrifying dragon who drove away all who sought to rescue her. One day, a knight in shimmering Steele armor dared to venture up the mountain and confront the beast. The brave knight, pitying the beast, cut the rope that tied the dragon to the mountain. Thus, the knight freed the dragon from the clutches of the princess and they lived happily ever after. The end."
I'm having too much fun with this.

Imagine traveling around everywhere with your entourage of kips. It'd be like a Katamari fuckball.
Hey B, can Frosty swim? I know she has basically no reason to as she can fly and probably would sink like a rock, but could she? Plenty of marine reptiles out there
She can - I never bring it up in her content, but her main source of food is other marine animals, such as fish. Also, in the Christmas doc, the armour she gives you as a gift is a scale that's been tempered from the intense underwater pressures and temperatures of Uveto's oceans, so she can also dive pretty deep.
I've made you fall in love with her character and her plight. That she's a dragon is just a bonus.
Being a dragon does make it harder to take her home to meet whatever relatives you can find that don't already live on Uveto.
Granted it's more of a problem for the people whose jobs it's suddenly become to solve the problem, but delegating is an excellent skill for a megacorp-heir.

To be fair, you're already you're already a genetically perfect heir of a trillionaire megacorp. If anyone's gonna be running around saving people and 'uplifting' natives, it's you. That's why I don't really feel too bad about some of the writing (this isn't about frosty btw, or even anything in particular) when it's like "Oh, captain steele, you've SAVED ME!" and you're like "Meet me aboard the ship immediately. We'll bang, okay?". It's just that kind of a story - you can be that savior, with your money and your power.
As much as I love talking about and gushing over my previous work, I have an update on my current project, the cuddling expansion with Paige! I updated her doc with 2,700 words, which was a bit excessive for me, but hell, when you get rolling, you shouldn't stop. I completed the Fantasize (renamed from Tell Her), Take Her (renamed from Show Her), Let Her Lead, and Second Base scenes. There are only a couple more scenes before this expack is complete; should be done either tomorrow or the day after.
In contrast to what you just said, @Wsan, I coincidentally included a line where the PC argues that it's not about the money or status, it's about initiative. Everything centers around the PC because, well, like you said, it's that kind of game, where nothing happens unless it involves the PC, but Steele's societal status doesn't factor into it.
You can find the doc on my Patreon, as always.

While that is absolutely a romantic thought, I have my doubts about how true it is. Two decades of prep by one of the cleverest and richest men in the universe, and a dying man no less, is not something that should be easily dismissed. Especially given that you were basically hand crafted to be his heir.
Now i'm curious about how many credits Vic spent on our conception and genetic tailoring.
