T2 destroyers as you describe already exist in the form of interdictors, and if you've ever used one you'd know that they're already very powerful against frigates.

There should probably a smaller version of the command ship, but I think it should probably be in the destroyer class. If it's too tanky as a frigate it's going to be hard to take off the field with such a high speed and low signature radius. I also don't think it should be able to field a full suite of links. Having cheap ships with cheap links is going to increase their prevalence dramatically, and it should be a choice of what to bring to the field, not 'lets just take everything.'

T2 battle-cruisers already exist in everything but name. Attack battle-cruisers fit the profile of a t2 ship to the letter, though I'm not complaining that they've been left as t1.
