If we consider the fact that in vanilla FL, 20 battleships would have been larger than the size of a house military...

Yep, that makes sense for a group who are a paramilitary outfit.

How much do you think the houses would be spending on this? Then how much of that would be knocked off in various costs of keeping the hunters themselves in pay, maintaining the house-hunting vessels, supply costs, administration and employing the people to do the administration, the amount of credits lost to "the system" if you want... How much does it actually cost to build, crew, maintain and field a large warship?
The houses would have to be spending a significant portion of their GDP on merely employing bounty hunters, if enough cash was flowing to the guild core for them to field 20 battleships + screens... Are they doing this, in lore?
These are things to consider. I don't have the answers.
