20 neo-shippics makes for an extra 20 MB for the install. Zipped up for download that would add 6MB to the mod size. For Devnull that quadruples the size for the download.
How many races are you including with your mod?
Each installed shipset will be increased by 1MB, almost exactly. (1.035 MB).
I know that pictures are horrendous downloads. Even one shipset is roughly the same size as my P&N mod.
You definitely need to separate the mod+generic and the addon shipsets.
Especially since these shipsets will work under any mod, and you don't want to download the same thing three or four times, once with each mod.

BaseOutpost - BattleStation - Base between battestation and starbase
How about
:
Warstation (space S., battle S., war S., starbase)
or SpaceFortress (Space St. -> SpaceFortress, Battle St. -> Starbase)

BaseshipHeavy? - Baseship/Starbase - bigger than baseship, not sure about this.
Logical name, I'd go for it.

Observer - Escort - 130 (built in cloak) - UM
I would have made use of the Drone image for this

Not sure of what is this. It seems to be used only in scenario editing making and not normally available for players. A picture wouldn't be necessary.
Yep.

ShipPic - Alternative pic (copy source) - simple description.
Note that it is very easy to have multiple, prioritzed sources.
So the program could first look for a worldshipsmall, then massivebaseship, then worldship medium, then worldship large before giving up and using the generic image.
