Either more or no unlawfuls should have access to 5000 cargo

Sure, they smuggle their population's housing, food, furniture, shipbuilding materials, etc.

If we insist on having these debates, at least apply real logic to them. Any NATION, which is the only way to look at star systems that have an inhabited planet, is going to have industrial/corporate presences.

They may or may not have multi-stellars, but just having corporations means they need to have an import/export function.

They did specify their mode of operation in 'space', which considering the OCs have 3 planets with which they inhabit. They'd likely have a space-based transporting industry in its infancy and not very robust.
Their military alternative, and their runners are likely to be different from those.

Nation/House building player RP is incredibly harmful to the Outcasts and their gameplay purpose. Which is being a giant unlawful threat to more than half of the map. I see no particular reason to apply everyday logic over game design logic. If you want to play a corporation, there are plenty of Corporate IDs to choose from, a lot of corporations don't have proper faction representation at all and don't use the faction (Outcasts/Corsairs/The Order) that is not meant to be anything like it.

The only part of this I would disagree with is the idea that nation/house building for the OCs is harmful. I can understand what you mean in the traditional sense with Houses being 'lawful' entities.

But the OCs culture would make them by default, an unwelcome 'house' among the Sector's community. Even if they operated as a legal entity. The use of Cardamine and Slavery being two of the big reasons, as they operate under a different morality.

On the plus side, they also basically don't give a shit about the other houses and happily pirate them. But this on whole doesn't mean they couldn't become a recognized independent nation. Which they mostly are recognized as in RP.

I'd think of them more like the Maritime European Empires and their constant struggle against each other over resources, territory and influence. You could even point to the largest of those empires, Britain, as being one of the biggest drug dealers on the planet when they were forcing Opium into China.
