I'd like to see at least one special ship per faction, ala either the 14th battlegroup variants, or a unique design that does something established, but slightly better.
The Sindrian Diktat, for example, needs a lobster themed battleship, with layered armour and a pincer-looking bastion with it's own armour/hull stats
The Perseans could have a starfish pocket-carrier type, with three bays, but very weak stats.
Maybe the independents could have more all-rounder types associated with their faction that school together for synergistic bonuses. On that note, I'd love to see more ships that provide various fleet scale bonuses, either in or out of combat, with faint waves/rays that go under other layers to indicate where their effects are going during a battle.
