I think some neat and relatively easy changes would be to tie some ship modules to the tech tree. Maybe have us start out with destroyers and even cruisers unlocked but only with basic modules. Improved modules with more slots could be unlocked with the proper techs.
Also, I think we really need to go back to old ship computers where each class wasn't tied to a single behavior. It was really neat to be able to make battleships bristling with small weapons and point defense that would dive into a corvette line and wreck everything.
