From the comments, it doesn't look like there will be Alliance Ships in game anytime soon, but I understand their logic behind it. The Alliance is a far new organization, and they just have a consortium of individual systems that barely get along. That said, I really like the idea of having different Alliance systems customizing what is available to them. Example: One system Lord/Senator/Dictator focuses his fighting fleet on the Eagle, and has managed to create an extremely dangerous/stealth capable vessel (something like the Shroud Eagle), and any player that achieves a certain high rank with that Power Player has the ability to re-invent that great old $44k classic into a deadly fighter, but for a handsome price (say $10 million). Why keep coming out with new ships if we could somehow customize the old ones and breathe new life into them?
The reason I used the Eagle as an example, is that I believe it's an underused but very popular frame. That, and it's my absolute favorite, yet I'm at a point in my "Elite" career where it's almost completely useless.
