Let me allay your doubts. ODF is a snub-focused faction. The biggest ship non-leaders can use is a gunboat, and the availability of those will be very limited. Gunboat usage is only allowed to veterans in the faction and even then, they will be used rarely, if at all. What I imagine is that those would only be used in special events, where it can represent a 'flagship' of sorts or another important target.
Regarding the choice of ships: The military currently has limited resources at hand. The war with Liberty requires the best military equipment at the front. Furthermore, since the finances of the Rheinland government are limited too (most income for the politicians comes from corporations to influence decisions and taxes, since the rich are getting richer and the poor even poorer).
In this light, the ODF offers the possibility to use 'second hand ships'. Those are generally available, cheaper ships to fly. This goes especially for civilian ships. This means that more resources (material and financial) can be allocated to the libertonian front while the unlawful forces can also be dealt with. The ship diversity is meant (for my perception atleast) to inRP show some degree of desperation when it boils down to every ship at the front having an impact.
Since the ODF is going to be a constantly developing, expanding faction, the availability of Wraiths and other Rheinland ships to our pilots can go up over time.
