Here's an interesting thread that addresses some common questions. By the way, considering that this thread is "dead"-- meaning "inactive", to bring it back up by posting in it is refered to as "Grave-digging." It is generally looked down upon, unless done with good reason.

As far as classification of ships:

Gunboats, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Destroyers, Carriers, and Battleships are all classified as "Capital Ships."

Any other ship with a cargo hold larger than 1000 units, is classified as a "Transport."
--There is some discrepancy here, as the rules are changing for the next mod release to make Transports classified as anything more than 500 units, instead of 1000.

"Freighters" would be any other trading vessel larger than a fighter and with less than 1000 units of cargo space.

Light Fighters, Heavy Fighters, Super Heavy Fighters, and Bombers are all classified under the same umbrella of "Fighter."
