I agree with the idea, pirates of the different colonies will use "captured" house fighters with slightly modifications. Like the Blood Dragons already use the Dragon, the Hessians and Bundshuh will use Banshees and Valkyries, Lane Hackers additionally the Patriot and Defender. Smaller factions get their hands on civilian Fighters only, as they already do. Mollys and Rogues have their own Pirate Fighter Serie.
Also it is time to place at least one more shipyard into each colonie. We are really in need for them, cause of the different house transports going to be implemented and all the other ships.
I don't think there is a limit on ships, but more of a limit to where they can be sold. (3 per base as said) Freeworlds had contained 20 different tie fighters alone.
As a Red hessian trying to get into a gunboad, I would be willing to add something to my IFF that shows I wrote an RP story to go with how I got the RH gunboat. I am working on that now so when I start hurting the RH in one of their gunboats they can (if they chose to) read my story about how I got one. Everyone needs to remember this is a RP server and while lots of people RP they are lots that don't but if we could add something as minor as an IFF tag to show we took the time and RP'd our ship then more power to us.
Search button, AoM made a fighter line for this version and a GB for next. Although the GB is called something silly and inconsistent if I recall correctly.
As for funny ship stuff, there's this little thing up in the rules subforum called "special role-playing characters" that you should read about. Adding IFFs is a right annoyance, best to stay untagged and have some sort of nondescript ID and tell the appropriate factions your story so they don't go OMGSANKSHUN.

Unioners shouldnt have an own shipline. its a really ridiculous thought in my opinion, as they are criminal workers from the ship yards, not engineers. *headdesk*

They likely brought engineers too. Plus, they could quite easily repeat what they had done before, and then tinker with it.
I don't think they need a whole line. I think they need one single ship.
And that ship has to be their sign. I disagree with giving a whole line to factions like this.
Hessians are one thing, Unioners totally another.
One VHF is what they need, and I think that one ship might do more for them and their spirit then the whole line.
