Will Starship V3 be the same size, but more powerful? Or will it be even more massive?

Same diameter of 9m (~30 ft), but longer and at least 2 versions.
The propellant tanker version will be especially heavy, as the payload volume in the forward section will mostly contain propellant.
Thrust goal will be ~10k tons (3X Saturn V) and liftoff mass of tanker version ~7k tons. This should be capable of ~200 tons of orbital refilling.
Note, 3% of liftoff mass as useful cargo would be insanely good for a fully reusable orbital rocket. Most expendable rockets aren’t that good.
