Well I think we should look at some RL examples of ships as well:

Container ship
Reasoning: While its internal cargo isn't much different than standard racial indy's it can carry more cargo containers on its outside (well effectively cargo hold space)
Special Ability: Cargo containers take up 10% less volume per level
Skills: Indy lvl 5, Navigation 4, Container Ship skill
Cargo: Probably no more than than a standard indy (4k m3?)
Speed: Slow probably 75 m/s base
Slots: 4-5 low slots, 3-4 mid, 2 high (one being a launcher shot but not enough grid to mount anything more than a rocket launcher)

Luxury Liner
Reasoning: I don't know if this is doable but worth a shot (it depends on if passenger traffic is feasible).
Special Ability: 10-15% bonus to passenger price worth from NPC buyers
Skills: Indy 5, Passenger/Luxury Ship
Cargo: Small but can only carry passengers (say about 1500-3000 m3)
Speed: Faster than an indy
Slots: similar to current indies

Medium Freighter
Reasoning: With Heavy Haul Freighters planned we might need something in between
Special Ability: 7% bonus to capacity per level
Skills: Indy 5, Navigation 4 (because they will be harder to navigate and need skilled pilots), Medium freighter skill
Cargo: say no more than 10k m3 of cargo base
Speed: half the speed of current indys
Slots: 6-8 low slots should make allow these ships to fit in between the heavys and current indys easily.
