So this sort of thing continues apace. I've done some Draconian ships! They're Not Klingons.
The Draconian Empire's warship production is heavily decentralized, with more than a dozen major yards across the Empire's expanse. Each of these produces their own selection of designs, sometimes complementing another's output and other times in direct competition. Each also has hundreds of factories, sub-contractors, and other subordinates supplying parts, assemblies, and sometimes even entire ships - especially shuttlecraft and fighters, but even frigates and destroyers.
Draconian weapons suites tend towards a varying mix of options. There are several variants of the ubiquitous Type 46 cruiser, for example - some armed primarily with disruptors and grasers, others adding a heavy antimatter torpedo launcher in the bow. Another common option is guided missiles carrying shaped-charge fusion warheads. A limited supply of advanced grasers is available, comparable to modern Confederacy designs - these are typically reserved for capital ships, although they are slowly starting to appear on lighter craft in small numbers.
The Stinger is something of an oddity among Draconian warships. Somewhat sluggish to maneuver for its size, it is not an escort vessel but a dedicated ship-killer. With a relatively light graser suite (two standard grasers and two point-defense units), the Type-42 carries two particle blasters and no less than _four_ antimatter torpedo tubes - equal to the main battery of a Confederacy Heavy Cruiser. This is what causes the loss of maneuverability, the diversion of antimatter flow from the main reactor to charge the torpedo warheads reduces power available to other systems. The torpedoes are thus less than popular among other Draconian designs, which typically field only one tube and use grasers and particle blasters as their main battery.

Draconian Imperial Space Service Type-418 Destroyer
The
Draconian Empire's decentralized shipbuilding arrangements have one
natural consequence: a lack of regularity among the Empire's various
ship classes. Each shipyard builds its own designs, sometimes licensing
them to others. Shipyard Complex 4, for example, designed the
now-ubiquitous Type-46 and its successor, the Type-47, the most common
cruiser classes in the Draconian Imperial Space Service. Even so there
are several other classes still appearing, most of them still built by
SC-4.
Another of SC-4's designs is the Type-418 destroyer. A
somewhat more conventional design than the Type-42, yet still not as
'regular' as the common Type-65, the -418 is designed to mix it up with
enemy squadrons. To this end its blocky, armored hull is joined with a
command boom and a pair of shortened hyperdrive coil nacelles. The main
forward armaments include four medium-caliber, wide-angle grasers and a
pair of particle blasters. The rear arc sports the unusual innovation:
in addition to a pair of grasers, the -418 carries a single antimatter
torpedo tube here. The destroyer is designed to cut through enemy
squadrons in rapid slashing attacks, using its forward guns to batter at
the foe and the tail torpedo to punch out the rear shields before it
comes around for another firing pass. This can often result in multiple
enemy craft damaged or crippled in a few passes.

And the infamous Type-1115 "Invisible Stalker"Carrying the most sophisticated electronic warfare and sensor equipment
the Draconian Empire is capable of mass-producing, this destroyer-size
scout ship is more expensive to build than the average cruiser. Despite
this, hundreds have been built, with an entire squadron assigned to each
of the Empire's battle fleets.

The expansive 'wing' structures not only provide ample antenna surface
for the electronic equipment, but also help to muffle the signature of
the Stalker's single hyperdrive coil. While not as effective as the
semi-mythical "shadow" device, the stealth features incorporated into
the ship's hull and engines still make her a very difficult target to
detect.

This is perhaps fortunate, because the extensive sensor gear and small
reactor leave little space or power for weaponry. The Stalker carries
four graser turrets and only a single particle blaster. (There are
rumors that recent models have managed to refit an antimatter torpedo
launcher into the oversize pillar supporting the hyperdrive coil, but
Confederacy intelligence has not been able to verify them.)

And finally:The Type-410
('Audacious') is the newest and most powerful battlecruiser in the
Draconian Imperial Space Service's inventory, succeeding the infamous
Type-38 ('Terror'). Designed as a response to new-generation warships
such as the Confederacy's Endeavor class or the Hyborean Albion, it is
well-protected and heavily armed. A quartet of particle blasters and
fore and aft heavy antimatter torpedo tubes provide the main punch,
while more than a dozen grazers - ten class-one or -two multipurpose and
four point-defense mounts, most hidden under 'pop-up' covers for
additional protection when not in use. Her shields are some of the most
power-efficient and resilient the empire has ever built, with specially
reinforced generators and extensive cooling systems to enhance their
performance.
A design revision after the first dozen vessels were
commissioned expanded the main hull and shortened the command boom
somewhat, making room to expand the battlecruiser's company of marines
to a full battalion and add extensive flag command facilities. A part of
this process restored the familiar center-aft 'deckhouse' which had
been minimized in the original design for the -410. All of the class-two
graser mounts were replaced with class-one mounts, comparable in
performance to the Confederacy's own top-line weapons. Few would
question its status as one of the most formidable warships the Empire
has ever produced.
