I put together a bunch of screenshots that compare sizes for all player ships. You can view the results at the link below. All screenshots were taken from a range of exactly 95 meters. Note:I left out the Heavy Scyk, Heavy Z95, Heavy TIE, Heavy X-wing, Royal Interceptor, and Vaksai (Heavy Kihraxz), since they are all the same size as their pre-ROTW counterparts.
The file is rather large, so be patient if you're on a slow connection...

Ooh.. that will be going in the FAQ.
That also makes discussing the new ships a little easier. Excellent work on this.
What, no Y-8? Not enough server space or something?

I left out the Y-8 because at only 95 meters away the ship is far too big to see all of it.

You should add it in for that fact alone, it'd make for a good chuckle.

Good work. Very nicely done.
The Y-8 WOULD be pretty funny.
Also, a rear-view of these same ships from 95m would be great too as that is basically the firing silhouette.
Just an idea.

How can be a B-Wing the same side of an X-Wing and Smaller than an Y-Wing?
That does not seems to be correct (in EU terms)
Anyway GREAT work. I´ve allways loved the side comparison ship things

The Krayt and The Kimogila are nearly as big as a YT, nearly a small transport ship.

Yeah, freelancers are the worst off when it comes to getting a small ship. Their two smallest, the Scyk and the Kihraxz, are both almost as big as an X-wing. The Krayt is really big, but at least it handles well and has a good fire pattern for its guns. The Ixiyen is one of the worst ships, though. The thing is a massive target, and it just doesn't have anywhere near the mass to make up for it. Personally I think the devs should shrink all the Freelancer ship's, except the YT-1300, by about 30%. They are just all simply too big. In fact they don't even look right next to imp and rebel ships. For example, take a look at the size of the Scyk or Dunelizard's cockpit canopy, and then compare that to the size of the canopy on the X-wing or A-wing. Unless these twoships were made for giants to fly in them, the size of thier canopies just doesn't make sense and it doesn't match the internal cockpit view. From the inside of a Scyk or Dunelizard, the cockpit doesn't seem any bigger than that of an X-wing or A-wing, but from the outside, both of these ship's cockpits appear to bebig enough to hold two people sitting side by side. Shrinking these oversized freelance ships by a small amount would probably get a lot more freelancers to start entering into PvP. At least those with ROTW can pick up a Jedi Starfighter or a Belbullab-22.
