Edit: Tell me which ship's size you guys want to see, it would be easier
Edit2: DISAPPOINTED... Discovery Freelancer ships are so small (:
Edit3: It is accurate (%99.9)

This is actually something I wondered about (and I did not consider earlier)
This is the default FL ship size:
We had to upscale to 2.5x to have something that works with this ship
FL's (and disco's) cockpits have varying proportions, but our ships are indeed incredibly small, which is likely due to a wish to reduce the effects of floating point precision jitter over long distances.
Want to see the draught of all BSs. And wow, I thought the Dunkirk and the Libdread were a bit thinner -- the Kirk is almost as wide as the Liberty carrier. Apparently the Jorm is the thinnest medium BS. Another interesting thing is that the Outcast medium BS is longer than the Corsair heavy BS and wider than the Kusari (heavy) BS. Is it at least thinner than the Legate by draught?
Also interested to see the size of the Crecy and the Templar, btw.
Keep in mind M and K in Freelancer do not stand for meters and kilometers, but are individual size measures. There is zero accuracy. Cutscene ships are visibly bigger, just as the humans are way smaller. The Starflier is (was) one of the smallest ships. We could actually scale up by looking at how many Trents fit in a Starflier to find out what the, at least in terms of vanilla models, ship sizes are in meters and, for battleships, kilometers.
