There probably will be at some point. The most recent totally new ship model we had introduced to the game was last November, which started as a limited edition available only at one station in Odia and became gradually introduced to the rest of the galaxy. This replaced the former Vulture model. The devs recently hired a graphic artist to help update some of the game's older assets, and we've been seeing a steady stream of graphical updates (some small, some larger) ever since.

The devs also sometimes implement upgraded variants and tweak existing variants of ships, which gives us something to play with. As far as the existing ship variety: to me the selection of fighter-class ships feels pretty good, with the possibility of having some room for additional nation-specific ships. Pretty much everything has its specified role including individual strengths, weaknesses, and balances, with possibly one or two exceptions. Certain ships excel in certain roles, but no single ship type ubiquitously dominates all others.

Capital ships will almost certainly change in the way they are implemented, with more ship types becoming constructable. The Trident Type S is on the way, and we will probably see a Trident Type P at some point also. I'm personally looking forward to seeing an expansion of the types of roles player-owned capital ships can play in the galaxy, with additional loadouts, modifications, and interactions becoming possible.
