I'm trying to estimate the total size of the # of warships the GTVA has.
Note that this includes NTF ships; you know, before they defected. This will regard the following databases as fully accurate info:

http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/FreeSpace_2_Vasudan_Ship_Database-
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/FreeSpace_2_Rebel_Ship_Database#Neo-Terran_FrontNote that I'm not including FS1 ships since we don't know if they were decomissioned or what. (oh noes, well, things like the GTC Oberon were decomissioned. Anyway, whatever, it's included.)
So far, we have for Terrans:
44 X Cruisers (21 Galactic Terran, 23 Neo-Terran)
26 X Corvettes (15 Galactic Terran, 11 Neo-Terran)
20 X Destroyers (10 Galactic Terran, 10 Neo-Terran)
1 X Frigate (NTF Iceni)
1 X Colossus
...totalling 92 ships.
For Vasudans,
13 X Cruisers
15 X Corvettes
8 X Destroyers
...totalling 36 ships.
In all, the GTVA has 128 ships.
Of course, this is most probably not the entire force. I remember Command saying that "at least 6 warships have not been able to engage the Sathanas" or something, making me estimate at, what, several hundred ships (400-800 maybe)?
Also, the fact that a rebel faction (NTF) had 10 destroyers implies that the GTVA fleet is pretty big, on the other of nearly a thousand, or maybe yeah, several hundred, which is the most reasonable estimate.
My guess is that a destroyer leads every battlegroup. Perhaps the Aquitaine and the Psamtik are the newest destroyers, since they've been noted in the techroom (just a speculation, though). Considering the Psamtik is leader of the 13th Vasudan Battlegroup (so the Vasudans have at least 13 battlegroups) I think the Terrans will have that much as well, making the destroyer count to 26. But we've got 28 destroyers in the list, so that means there must be supporting destroyers or something, making me estimate them to be around 40-50.
I'm guessing that each battlegroup a destroyer leads probably 4-5 corvettes, and about 20-30 cruisers, totalling the GTVA ship count to around 600-700.
So I really think the GTVA has around 400-800 ships. All of these info make me believe that.
