Ships should be built to whatever size you want and classed how you want (If I happen to want to have a 10 million ton behemouth scout, then dag-nabbit, I *want* one!)

And just because you want to build a 10 million story tower dosen't mean you can at our current technology level, no matter how much money you have.
You have to do the research to figure out HOW, then you can. If you want to start out running around with battlemoons, that's what a high tech start is for.

Except this is space. There are few major forces on the structure, with the most notable being the thrust from the engines

This means that the ship construction technology could be used to determine maximum thrust levels and hence, under the QNP system, speed .

Also, higher levels of ship construction could create ships that can take greater damage since they have a tougher structure.
