I have created 2 additional ship classes I use within my own games. The first is a science ship..I use the medium size transport hull minus the cargo requirements. This allows me to build construction ships, deep space science ships, medical ships, just a large variety of different types without using my warship classes. I use the star trek ship sets..so I dont like using warships as transports. The other ship class is bigger than a dreadnought, (Battlestar) up to 1500 Kt. I schedule it to become available at tech level 10. I have found that all AI races use both designs quite extensively. I hope eventually we will be able to create ship designs available to only a specific race, same thing with facilities and components.
