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.

I already did it with Samura and got Denied with the same weird Reason that is in the lore.
But let us do the MATH, shall we?
The ship Costs 44 Million Credtist New Money. Thats 4.4 Billion in old Money. If you Consider that RND for a ship of that size would be about 2 to 3 Times the Costs of the Serial Model then we are at least at 100 to 200 Million Credits of New Money (10 to 20 BILLION Old Money)
To not Sell those ships on the Open Market even if they try to Use the Liner on there own. On a Market that OS&C Controls to 100% in Sirius. Well, this would make NO sense at all. This ship and its Exclusive Lore make no Sense for a Company. No Board of Directors would ever approve such a Project if the Only thing it is will be an INFINITE MONEY PIT. Not even a Rich Megacorp Like Samura could afford that.
