The largest dedicated combat ship?

I am new to the elite franchise so I don't know all the previous ships and with the recent commotion over the python nerfs made me think: "What is the largest dedicated combat ship in the Elite universe?" This is because the Python was regarded as the best for combat with high shields, weapons, and speed/agility. Yet it is a multipurpose ship.

The Type 9 so far is the largest hauler.
The Anaconda is the largest multi-purpose from what I understand.

However, there is no dedicated combat ship in a similar bracket as the Type 9 and Anaconda.

Due to the fact that the Anaconda is multipurpose, it technically is the largest combat ship. I am curious to know how much better a dedicated combat ship comparable to the Anaconda in terms of price/size would be.

Right now, the only ships you could call a dedicated combat ship are the Eagle and the Viper. It has been revealed that a large fighter called the Vulture is on it's way and that will be a dedicated combat ship, and there has been an image of the Fer-De-Lance released which is also believed to be combat orientated.
