Either more or no unlawfuls should have access to 5000 cargo

You are coming from the false assumptions of Outcast space assets meaning a thing. But Outcast having 3 shipyards and Bretonia 1 doesn't mean that Outcasts can produce 3 times more ships. Or having industrial capacity near as close as Bretonian for example, which is by now the weakest of the Houses.

I am coming from the correct assumption that what you see represented in the game, is the actual state of affairs. Regardless if its vanilla or not.
But to your point about the OCs having more shipyards than Bretonia, this is something I would not assume. Mainly because of two things.

1, Freelancers 'scale' is out of whack, and is downright stupid sometimes.
2, The OCs having 3 shipyards, in which 2 do not even run at full capacity doesn't outstrip the industrial and infrastructural capacities on planets like New London.

My main point here being that the representation of shipyards in space =/= the actual ability to produce ships. Space-based shipyards would obviously be much easier for larger ship construction, but they're not necessary.

In vanilla Outcasts had 2 bases in space, which is Cali and Ruiz, both asteroid low effort tier bases. That reflects things way better than discovery at this point. Because with current development you need to have sellpoints for shiplines, add buffer systems and add docking points in them. I am not the fan of it, but that's the way things are.

The curse of playing a mod.

Making Outcasts and nation or pretend to be yet another house is killing all charm to the faction. There are batter games to build space empires other than space shooter with RP elements. There are 5 Houses in this game, a lot of factions there, go play if you want to RP space nation or space government. Outcasts are about space smuggling and crime.

OCs and Sairs offer what is best described as 'unlawful' nations, like Pirate Republics. They are the 5th house, even as vanilla standards go, they're just unlawful entities in most 'house' space.

If you're getting annoyed at people wishing to see progress within a faction while everyone else gets their own progress, I think you're looking at the wrong mod/community.

I think this news is also reflecting the level of development of Outcasts really well. Some old dude modernizing ships and trying to teach maggots to do something like him. And Outcasts seem to be incredibly proud of it, coming from the article's tone.

OUTCAST RAIDING FLEET TO BE UPDATED: MALTA -- Engineers are revamping 100 ships per month over the next two years in an effort to make a new design that will be implemented on the fleet. Casse's 100+ years of experience as an engineer makes him the finest ship designer and builder in all of Sirius. His academy builds new prototypes every semester as he trains a new generation to follow in his footsteps.

I mean, you're pointing out that the OCs have an experienced engineer who has his own academy and is making headline news.
On top of that, that quote can have two meanings:
1, The OCs are able to 'modernize' 2400 ships in 'two' years, presumably mostly fighters, which is a vastly greater than most, if any, current nation on earth manages. Or,
2, The OCs have 2400 ship designs that Casse and his academy are revamping.
