I for one are not in favor of such a classification. It would be veeeery difficult to place most of the ships and the allocation would be mostly a matter of opinion: "I think the xx is the best fighter in the game!" - "What, the xx? No way, the yy is far better. The xx is only a pack mule"...

So if we really want to introduce such a classification, we will need to set up strict criteria for each and every "class" with no exceptions possible to avoid discussion. "Every ship in the cargo class has a minimum cargo space of xy / Every ship in the fighter class has a min. handling value of yx ..."

The problem is, we will probably not find a definition strict enough to be able to place each ship in exactly one category. What is the result? Almost every ship will fit in two, three or even more categories (especially the "ultimate ships" will fit almost every bill). This will rather defeat the purpose of the whole classification, don't you think?
