There goes the dreadnought.  They're smaller than a fenris, you know.

Which reminds me, how big is an IW destroyer class, like the Harvard (IW1 intro - standard destroyer class)?

Dunno.

It's roughly between the Fenris and Deimos in size.  

Honestly, the technologies seen in Starlancer and in I-War are nothing compared to the ships in the FreeSpace universe.

There was a diagram in the box with all the ship sizes, with the biggest freighter being extremely hefty.  I'll have a search if I can be bothered.

Starlancer's ion cannon is quite a pain. Poweful enough to destroy a shielded carrier in one shot but yet accurate enough to track a fighter. And those capship shields are nearly impossible to penetrate.

Thats why you have to take out the shield generator

Umm...I'd think that the Yamato had a lower poly count than most of the FS2 ships....am I wrong?

Yep, it was the alliance capship (think Colossus only not as powerful). It's the ship in these pictures:

     

   

   

Edit: Are you sure Icefire? it seems kinda detailed and curvy to me... all the SL ships seem that way...

You couldn't say it's as powerful as the Colossus, no way.  Starlancer capship battles always seemed to last a lot shorter than FS2 ones, a case of take out the shield generator then someone launches torps.  Shame, since the ship models are really quite good, ableit too dark.
