Hmmm, no offense intended (hehehe, always a bad sign from such an opening but I mean it). RP involves the character and should be the focus. A choice of vessel is secondary unless truly sporting diametrically opposed Tag and ID versus ship, i.e. Outcast (tag & ID) flying a Corsair vessel. In that instance ya need a novel to explain such an action.
This is why I suggest generic pirate ID and Tagless for it allows a player a larger canvas to create their character. In addition, vessel purchase and Tag-emotional baggage holds little sway upon the creation process.
