you have to add it to your player(race) file?

Go under

capitalShipInfo
        Page:0
            count 5
            entityDefName "CAPITALSHIP_TECHBATTLESHIP"
            entityDefName "CAPITALSHIP_TECHCARRIER"
            entityDefName "CAPITALSHIP_TECHCOLONY"
            entityDefName "CAPITALSHIP_TECHSUPPORT"
            entityDefName "CAPITALSHIP_TECHSIEGE"

if tech or jiust the race you are editing.

make sure the number of cap ships you have in the entitydefname matches your count

Note that the number of capitals can't be greater than 9. Only the first 9 will show up.

I think what is missing in the ship creation is that the ability to switch from frigate to cruisers
