How huge do things appear?

I was wondering how big the space stations, planets and capital ships seem to be in Freelancer. I played Tachyon: The Fringe recently and the really huge stations and giant scrapyard pieces really impressed me. Sure, they tricked the eye by using a very narrow FOV but it looked impressive nonetheless. Do bases in Freelancer appear to be really huge or do they look rather small like they did in StarLancer? Would be a shame if the latter was true.

I don't know first hand but from what I've seen in the vid's, they look of a similar size to Starlancers. I certainly don't think you'll see anything the size of what Tachyon has.

yeah, from the videos, even the planets look like small moons..

The stations are actually pretty big, but you can fly by them pretty fast with thrusters on. Something happened at one point where a lot of the "tube" bases lost the "tube" structure and became weird smaller bases.

things dont seem as large as you might expect them to. i wasn't overcome by the sense of scale as i had hoped i would be. although, at times, you will be blown away by the magnitude of some structure or other - one in particular springs to mind

Yes. Play through the storyline if you want to see some big sh**
