by any way can an individual buy it to or only factions?

This is not restricted to factions. Only requirements are the purchase fee and an eligible ID.

I'm sure OF and Indies alike want to know exactly what they are getting into when sending a request to buy it.

The plan is to make it conveniently available for ingame testing through a singleplayer-only sellpoint, but that'll need some clientside tweaks which needs to be arranged and prepared. It'll hopefully be in the next patch so this should be a non-issue then, as that'd allow anyone interested to just make one in singleplayer and fly it around a bit to see why they dont actually want one how it handles and whether it'd actually be useful for them.
