Am i being stupid? No pre-designed ships becoming available? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I've just purchased this game and am having one slight problem regarding the in-game pre-designed ships. As i go through the game and discover new technologies i am expecting new ships to become available for building. I've managedt to get the freigher, defender and some other little defending ship to appear but no others? So in total i can build 6 or 7 seven ships. I've researched up to medium sized hulls and many offensive / defensive technologies. Is there something fundamental i've missed. W
