Because I'm too lazy to make fighters/bombers.
Also, I'd have digression amongst things like gunboats and shuttles, should they be small ships or fighters?

Oh yeah, in response to Dyson Sphere, I don't really want to add one since a plain ol' circle looks ugly. Ringworlds on the other hand, you get a nice glow effect on them and you wish you could make all your systems ringworld systems.

Yes, but they're harder to get look right. With my skills, they looks something akin to a bunch of blobs.

I like a more organised classification- usually ranging something like this
Note that often a numeric system is used to indicate power of ships within their class. Such as DD04, or BB03. Typicaly an 05 ship can reliably beat an 01 of the next class size up.
*Tech ship- Firepower and shielding of a light cruiser with the maneuverability of a destroyer, sometimes even faster.
**Tech ship, same as corvette but firepower of a BB02 or less, with the maneuverability of a cruiser
***Assault craft- Large well armored shuttle built to carry Huge numbers of troops. Similar to transports in boloverse in that its only weapons are whatever vehicles are onboard.
#Ussually a small vehicle, slightly larger then a probe- carrys equipment to confuse sensors, deflect weapons system, or some other form of EW system.
##A large platform, the size of a bomber that carries system to ATTRACT missiles and large ammounts of Point Defense.
###Light tank, armor of an APC but caries a slightly smaller gun then MBT's. Ussually grav based, though wheeled forms are also used.
@Gravships are the grav based small vehicles, no larger then a car at most that carry light anti-infantry and anti-vehicle weaponry. Extremely fast and capable of near-flight by riding up the walls of buildings on other solid surfaces.

I'd say, based on trekkie:
-Warbird
-Predator
Of course, this is for winged ships.
