Regarding the consideration of Amaterasu as proprietary technology, I don't see anything wrong with it. Firstly, it makes sense in the case of this ship – it's a symbol and a source of pride for space and luxurious engineering for Samura, which shouldn't fall into the hands of other 'gaijins.' Secondly, there are already faction-specific ships of all types, from fighters to transports.
If players want to fly this ship without any issues, nothing is stopping them from doing so under the Samura ID. Making this ship into a generic civilian ship would ruin its vibe.
