I would love more ship classes. DLC or Mod perhaps?
Light Cruiser, Battlecruiser, Dreadnought, Superdreadnought, Monitor, Supermonitor.
For those who know it, i would love a Starfire Mod.

Those all seem more like designations you could give the variants that arise from swapping out the sections on the Ships.
Want a Dreadnaught, use the sections that gives the greatest number of Large Weapon mounts on that battleship design
Want a Carrier, fit it with hanger bays
Etc Etc
No need to DLC new sub classes of ships when section swapping allows you that nuance already

In this case (from the Starfire Verse) the ships from Dreadnought up to Supermonitor are larger vessels, no subclasses.
They are basically bigger hull sizes, which can then be used as Ship of the line, carrier or missile boat by configuration.
Its not needed of course due to the not-tactical combat, but one can dream

I feel that the very top end of the engineering tech tree would be kind of an anticlimax if it didn't give you Baddest Mo'Fo Ship In The Universe, You May As Well Go Home Battleships 'Cos We Xbox Hueg Now, I Mean Damn, Son, Where'd You Find This? ship class as a rare tech once in a while, but aside from that one case I agree with this sentiment.

The battleships were really slow. By the time they had turned all their corvettes were dead. I'm starting to think lots of corvettes is better than one battleship.... Lots of guns is better than lots of health.
That's a real shame. Now you'll have to spend influence points to stay in power.
Is there any level of ship organization below fleet so that complementary ships can be kept together over time? Squadrons, divisions, flotillas etc.
The battles from moderate zoom out looked mostly like swarms of fish fighting, except for the ponderous battleships. Or more flatteringly - like maneuvering galleys spitting greek fire.
Good military sci fi tends to focus appropriate attention to the problem of astronomical distances and closing speeds, the problem of hitting future friends where they will be rather than where they are, the importance of data links and communications as well as formations both for offensive and defensive action (notably point defense and countermeasures).
Also that doctrine and training mean you know how your very bestest friends are likely to react to various situations and unpredictable behavior by your future friends.

Reality is a thing that doesn't do well with video games.

Actually, video games make it much much easier to do reality* things than other types of games.
*or gameplay that feels like a simplified essence of reality to the player, which usually plays and sells better
