With High Guard and the T20 design system you can build ship ranging in size from 10 tons all the way to 1,000,000 tons and larger if need be.
The simple part comes from the fact it only requires basic math skills and maybe a basic function calculator to quickly add it all up.
High Guard and T20 fall about half-way between the basic CT Book 2 starship design system and Fire Fusion and Steel as far as complexity goes. T20 is High Guard with some minor modifications (the biggest being how the Power Plants work) and some minor additions to the features available to be added.
