FO greatly benefits of having every unit (except of some klingon ships and stations) fulfil a unique role for a race. So redundancy of ships would completly destroy that feel IMO. Svelte and complex though ... just beautiful. 
As I am talking about unnecessary entities: The romulan Sabotage ability seems to be rather useless to me. You could use it just to plague somebody a litte, but he will just return the ship to the yard, and return with a dozen others. Using it to ease an attack seems also ridiculous, beacause it won't turn a fight. If one destroyer of dozens loses half it's shields, who cares! So what about something different: Sabotage moght turn off the Ships engines for 2 minutes (Repairing a vessels engines in free space might require several weeks). This would make the Tavaras boarding strength a little more useful, because usualy, I never meet the occasion tu use their marines.
I also feel compelled to consign my list of requests here:
- Less cheating AI (pleas, please, dear FO-team, deal with it as soon as possible)
- AI Improvements (doesn't attack you If it has a different target in mind, even if you shoot at it, ships dont turn arround to shoot at you, if they can't shoot you with their cannons because you aren't in front of them [cited: xtlc], too spacious avoidance of nebulas)
- More expensive capital ships with longer build times (esp. Cube, Tavara)
- More power for Klingons (the grandmasters should decide the most proper way to do this)
- Less vessels for the klingons (esp. tech-stations)
- Some good reason for building turrets
- Alternative ways to win
- artillery ships with low-power short-range phaser, min. distance for artillery-torpedos
- federation changes listed by firewarrior1705 (stronger souvereign, 4 pulse phasers on the defiant, torpedo voley special weapon for the akira, nebula with photon torpedos)
- more focus on the D'deridex (e.g. a heavy disruptor refit / a faster patroullie refit / a troop transport refit to support the tavaras)
- most every races spezial abilities more damaging or long lasting, therefore more costy in research and research time
I have to say, that this game is really great, even without any of these points been changed. The cheating AI on Hard is the only flaw woth mentioning.

Stronger ships means shorter fights, meaning less fun.
