Suggested Ships and Changes for Elite Dangerous

Realistically, I could see design space in the game for at least 100 ships, possibly even 200+, as the main manufacturers will attempt to compete in pretty much every market while the smaller ones restrict themselves to their core competencies. At the moment with our ~40ish ships, there's entire swathes of ship roles and price points that are either empty or have a single manufacturer monopolising them.
Hey, I have been thinking about this, so I decided to try to better visualize my suggestions. Some input and realizations gave me some new ideas. I may have gone overboard and missed the points on some things, but if that’s the case, I’m not too stubborn. I still think my suggestions are good and could give the game some more variety in terms of ship selection.
Note:I struggled to find specific things to describe some of the categories, so I made some of them up. I’m sure with context, the category and the qualities of the ships in the category should be obvious. If not, I can elaborate.

I'd definitely like to see the Boa Clipper, I've mentioned this in other posts. In the original Elite, the Boa was smaller and more modern than the Python, however in Frontier it was bigger even than the Anaconda. I see a role/niche for super-heavy transport ships, possibly too big to dock with space stations and have to use shuttles or cargo limpets to offload cargo.
