Support vessels a third or half the size of the 304s, easily capable of standing toe to toe with a Hive or multiple Cruisers, doesn't have fighter bays, so literally an attack craft with the same power of a 304 only in a more compact tidy package.
Beefed up 304s, with extra power generators, shield emitters, think of them as a Heavy attack vessel on the Odyssey's level, maybe with a few more Asgard beam weapons, much faster due to the added power.
As an addition how about a bomber or missile launcher class?
It's maneuverable, designed to house packets of cluster missiles, has a basic interplanetary hyperdrive, drops out of hyperspace near an enemy fleet fires it's missiles then jumps away.
Newer missiles could have shields or armor that allows them to actually make it to their targets, either that or they're smaller and more maneuverable than the straight flying missiles we have now.
Earth's gotta be able to make a better delivery system for it's number one back-up weapon to the plasma beams.
