(Just a few ideas, nothing either balanced or playtested)
The Eldar often fielded a slightly larger version of their frigates; this class became known as the 'corsair'. It generally acted as a leader for squadrons of destroyers, much as their cruisers acted as the centerpieces of frigate flotilla.

This class provided destroyers with carrier support. It generally stood off at a distance from an engagement, preferring to send attack craft to do its work.

This class again provided ranged support; however, it did so with weaponry that was (for Eldar) unusually long-ranged.

This class of ship, contrasted to the other two, generally spent its time in the thick of the action, wielding its torpedoes and weapons batteries to good effect.

(These look somewhat like the Hellebore, except with a bigger aft section. The Highwayman replaces the Pulsar Lance part with a launch bay; the Cutthroat just has a slightly beefier version of the part; and the Desperado has a part with torpedo-tube bulges on the front, and the forward glacis has lots of small turrets instead of the Hellebore's one big turret.)
