New Capital Ship?
With Admiral Raddus coming to the game, you'd think that his capital ship would be coming as well.

For the record....
I'm pretty sure those are all "Capital" ships.
You don't have to be a Star Destroyer to be a capital class ship.
Just saying....
PS. Gideon piloted a TIE-Outlander so why wouldn't he be in that?
With the introduction of the MG-100 StarFortress SF-17, it "broke the rules" of only starfighters and cargo ships to be used.
......
If you can explain your definition of "capital ship", it'll help me understand.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Cargo Ships".
If you mean the "Faction" in game, then...............
The Emperor's Lambda Shuttle, TIE Eschelon, Kylo's Command Shuttle, are all Neither StarFighters or Cargo Ships.
If you mean "Light Freighters" in the StarWars Universe sense, then, Hound's Tooth & Slave-1 are not Freighters at all, but are Gunships.
The MG-100 StarFortress at 29meters is still built on the "Starfighter / Lt. Freighter / Gunship" Scale.
It fits right in with the many different Starfighters, Gunboats, Lt. Freighters, & Shuttles that we have already and is classified as a Bomber like the TIE Bomber, and sometimes the Y-Wing & B-Wing "Heavy/Assault Starfighter/Bombers"
As for Capital Ship, in the SW Universe Capital Ships are............
"any armed military starship over one hundred meters long."

Capital ships are further divided by class/type based on their length
Corvettes (100-200 meters)
Frigates (200-400 meters)
Cruisers (400-600 meters)
Heavy Cruisers (600-1,000 meters)
Destroyers "Star Destroyers" (1,000-2,000 meters)
Battle Cruisers (2,000-5,000 meters)
Dreadnoughts (+5,000 meters)
Sometimes a ship is shifted a bracket based on its firepower or troop/fleet capacity.
Our Capital Ships in game all started out as Destroyers but have since entered into Battle Cruisers/Dreadnoughts with the Malevolence release.
Personally I was hoping they kept them at similar scale & used Invisible Hand for the Seps but that ship has sailed & is long gone w/ Executor's 19KM length.
