Spacecraft: Small, Medium, Large
Often these have atmospheric flight capabilities, but not always. Some may have have warp capabilities, but - again - not always. Usually with minimal storage capacity and impressive armament.

Comparable to a car, speedboat, APC, small aeroplanes, or a bus. Modern space shuttles would be from very large end of this, bordering on medium sized spacecraft.
