Well, I'm thinking of new ship types because of how things work a little differently based on where I set my series. One sector, for instance, has probably switched up in the last in-game decade from typical slow broadside combat to fast destroyer-type combat based on their Old Slann enemies. Totally new niches and void tactics. The other goes business as usual armor slab to fight Chaos and Necrons. But naming them is a bother. I was flipping through names and I'm like "Oh that's cool" then I remember it belongs to xenos or is already used. Dhows belong to Nicassar, Stryxis got the Xebec, Arbites got the Dromon, and so on. I want them to sound exotic yet still fit the original ship's concept, but oops some ayylmao already took the name. I still need to do more research though, since all I've been doing so far is skimming through Medieval 2 and Empire Total War ships.

The Admech in comparison are way easier - they have tons of already-existing ship types like the Reductor Galleass and the War Barques which I can fiddle with. The Squats don't need too much - they just got the entire roster of Demiurg vessels to their name. Tau continue to be jerks using fake and gay drone warfare, but they need no new ship types. Same with the Necrons.
