@Cryptic ship designers - how big is a Guardian?

I have to say i'm very pleased with the design and the stats of this ship, and i'm 99% sure i'm going to grab one once Delta Rising Launches.

To me, one question remains: How large (in numbers) is a Guardian Cruiser? The turn rate and inertia imply it's slightly smaller than a Galaxy, so is that true?

I'm sure many are now wondering why i'm asking this and why it's of importance to me. (The answer is simple: I like to fly powerful looking ships [1] that have that Star Trek feel [2] on them - and the Guardian clearly fits the [2]nd part ;) )

    I'd like to know this too; because I like smaller ships, and worry that this is going to be far too big for my tastes.

    Considering an inertia rating of 35 (smaller ship have higher numbers) and a turn rate of only 6.5 (again, smaller ships have higher numbers), it is smaller than the Odyssey. I will assume it is pretty close to the size of the Assault Cruiser (Enterprise E) because that ship has an inertia rating of 30, but a turn rate of 7.

    The crew count for it sits at 1100, so it's probably comparable in size to the galaxy, with justification for its newfound agility being that it's a design improvement over existing large hull templates.
