You would be very right, if Sirius people, who are living in, approximely 1000 years after, from ours day, would have same production potential as we do now. Yes, I agree, that building naval carrier ships, as space shuttles and space stations, is indeed damn hard and expensive, however, we are just in the beginning of the way. First naval ship, capable of launching and landing aircrafts, was build around 100 yers ago, even a bit less. 1918 HMS-Argus, was that first aircraft carrier in the world. Well, only 100 years passed, it's not that much, considering, for how long, our ancients were using swords, bows and arrows....
And we don't even know, what industrial, production, and research potential, would have our civilization, after another 100 or 200 years. Who knows, may be in 2213 year, build up a space frigate will be NP at all.

Don't forget to adjust the actual historical experience to the game's reality. Like while we're talking about the battleships of the 1600-1900 years you need to know that they were made of wooden planks and moving by the force of wind. The 1900-1950 era ships are were almost the same - just sailing fortress made of steel. And even then it was super hard to build and maintain even few. Out production potential is growing, yes. But with that grows the complexity of the produced materials. The ships we're talking about are flying into the space, not sailing the salty waters so this complicates the production, development and construction into the whole new level.

And, again, you are right. Like we have in game, a mass production of Legates, like was with Osirises, Ranceurs (Sarrisa sux, so nobody gona mass produce her)
Still, they all can build few of them. Like, Benitez has Osiris, Sails have Osiris, TBH has Osiris and Legate. And, don't forget, that there are 3 more Osirises as stationared bases. But eh, sairs are biggest unlawfull faction, what do ya want?

Technology, sairs partly had from the Order, Junkers, some parts and components were delivered by Samura.

Outcasts can do "open mind" and 4234153423 X 12321312+325123 / 334125^5 in their mind, so developing capital ship, is kid's play for them.
Other tech can be purchased from Junkers, along with some parts, which can't be manufactured by Outcasts.

And again, let's see. So there are Drug dealer cartels, Somali pirates, etc. Image them buying classified military technology and establishing a construction of the, let's say, the last-tier modern frigates. Well, they won't even bother with such a thing, right?

All the RP justifications for many factions to have capitals are pure idiocy and usually just exist to be an excuse for that faction to have battleships. And you're clearly overrating outcast abilities.
