Why not lengthen a Procurator to give it a useful hangar?
Short answerMore length creates internal space, but the estimated 100-metre increase could change its dockyard category and erode the case for building it instead of an Imperial-class ship.
NotesAlex argues that lengthening a large spacecraft adds space across multiple decks and should make a better hangar possible. Dragon judges that the required aviation space would need roughly another 100 metres, increasing the proposed 1,200-metre ship to about 1,300 metres. That change matters when thousands of ships are built and when the smaller type can use a cruiser dock. It also narrows the distinction from an Imperial-class Star Destroyer. The exchange leaves a disagreement between the value of more aviation capacity and the reason for keeping a smaller ship in the fleet.
