Just for the love of god, do not make all factions exactly the same. It is not good ballance, as then it comes to choosing between people you wanna join - the thing that you can not change no mater how you try. And no, different lore is not what makes a different faction. Different styles of gameplay between factions of similar type, for example military. That makes a different faction.
Best examples would be GRN, KNF and RM:
GRN is a straight forward combat, if they try to be deffensive, they usually loose hard.
KNF, before ship reballance, used to be based on sneakier ships that required time to beat oponents, but were capable of taking it.
RM is some sort of might. Their ships, excepting battleships (ballance reasons) were the or almost the toughest ships, which makes for a good deffensive capabilities.
If you make all their ships the same, just with a little stat differense, there will be absolutely no differense in joining any of those factions. The only decisive thing would be that mini community.
