How about this: we get Huge Class ships.
What are they? Basically larger than large class but still significantly smaller than capital ships. If the Cutter for example is 200m long, huge can maybe be 300-350m long.
Of course, this will make them too big for mail slots and landing pads. Maybe they could have their own specialised docks with docking clamps (meaning they don't have landing gear. Think of a smaller version of capital shipyards).
Of course this size will come with extremely bad maneuverability. Multi crew would be encouraged to manage a ship of this size.
As for what ships we can get, I'm thinking an Imperial Cruiser and Federal Destroyer, requiring the ranks of King and Admiral respectively.
Weapons could maybe be 2 huge, 4 large and 6 medium.
What is my reasoning for wanting ships like these? We have Small, Medium, Large and Huge class weapons, but only the first 3 sizes in ships. We need to spice things up a bit with THICC monster ships.
Lastly, how do you explore planets with these? Here's my idea: once the ship hits a certain altitude in orbital flight, you'll get the option to deploy in a smaller landing ship. Basically a modified federal/imperial eagle (depending on the Huge ship) that doesn't have a FSD and is only meant to carry down the SRV. When you want to leave, you jump back into the eagle and call down the Huge ship like you would in the SRV. You then dock and the ship will head back into orbital cruise.
Price wise, maybe 2.5 billion to A-Rate each one
