Freelancer Restrictions

[Beagle23]

Would the restrictions on ship usage as indicated by IDs ever be reconsidered for an official faction?

For example, could a well thought-out and well-RP'd faction of independents (Freelancers, Mercs) ever be permitted to contract factions they had good relations with for the construction of capital ships? I.e. Would a faction of Freelancers with strong ties to IMG ever be permitted to fly IMG gunboats, destroyers, cruisers, or carriers?

The thought struck me seeing as some factions that already have their own capital ships seem to have fairly independent backgrounds. For example, the Zoners, who as I understand are basically a conglomeration of Freelancers, have their own capital fleet, some of which, according to their tooltip, were constructed by the IMG.

So, would a RP-responsible/long-standing faction of independents ever be permitted to operate ships above gunboat class?

Thanks for any straight answers or theoretical discussion on this topic.
