I see a problem in just one thing: Indies have ship/weapon/whatever access like faction HC members or leaders. Joining faction has no point for some people, because it would only restrict them. Ranks and restrictions in official factions are good both ooRPly and inRP, if an applicant don't feel disadvantaged. Char Aznable summarized it.

While a fighter pilot that's having a bad day can be problematic, RP-wise, Caps are always watched more closely, out of logical reasons, and that way you can control what caps are doing out there by restricting people that haven't proven themselves to be capable (even if that sounds strange)
All in all, ranking systems fulfill various roles - mostly they ease the way factions coordinate.
