There isn't any. I was the one who derived Freedom's acceleration from the show itself. Basically, 10-15g is probably the minimum acceleration Freedom must have had in order to catch up to Lacus' shuttle in episode 26 of Destiny. As far as I can tell, this scene is the only one that gives us a chance to figure out the performance for any Cosmic Era vehicles. I originally posted this on MechaTalk, but apparently the entire thread it was in has been deleted.

To clarify, the 0.59g figure is for the Zaku II. The actual value for the ZAKU Warrior should be probably much higher than that (probably 4+g).
