This story will need to be approved by official faction's leader(s) and they will decide either to grant or reject the right to own a capital ship by this player. (maybe an admin's approval would be a good idea as well) We will reach much more role-playing histories on forum and already add more reality to carriers. There will be more snubs around, so carriers (if we add them more docking module slots and remove their heavy turrets) would be able to carry those swarms inside ==> we will add an easy "NPC wave spawning system" without coding and making devs busy. You will ask: what about the ships which are already owned by players? We can refund 100% price of this capital ship to player and delete it. Player will still have the money he has spent on it and he/she will be able to put this amount into more vessels in more corners of Sirius.
I'd say make it an SRP-esque process, because an official faction leader can look at someone's perfectly sound RP and go "I don't like this person, so denied". Giving the faction leader input in the process to scan for validity or lore conflict issues in the person's story should be considered, though, since the admin team has been known to have some issues regarding their knowledge of lore.
It could work this way too.

As well as I've told: Restricting them doesn't mean removing them. Official factions should be able to have a few capitals --> Maybe shared ones like in the K'Hara. It could also encourage people to make factions & write tones of RP to try to make them official to gain this possibility as well. Or maybe creating another 'subforum' for factions? Something between the officials and lolwutty new ones? Group which will be able to own some shared capitals, but will require some RP to grant it? Lets say right to own one capital ship for each 3 (?) members.
