I don't know which descriptions you have been reading. Did you just read the short version when you mouse over and press F1? That is the only way I can make sense of your critique.

so actually reading the description again, it is completely unrelated to the ship itself. it just states that the freitag corporation is employed for haresting, but - that's it. no actual mention of the ship in there. even if the class already says it the descriptions should also state what it does, except not just in a title but more thoroughly. it does not have to be an entire book, but at least a sentence is needed, and more if it is very special.

the ship that is there purely to defend salvage just says that salvage is life blood, but it is missing descriptions and flavor text.

i do not know if you have a general faction design idea - the current one seems to be civillian ships - but it might be good to first give most your ships a civillian role, then make them able to do something in combat with systems that complement the civillian nature(if you have a salvage carrier then you could say that it uses salvage drones, which you might even just make as a new entity and give to the ship). and then a description about the ship's function can be made, from battle to exploration and trade, with an added part of it's history. the name(ship class) should complement that.All of them have roles, function and history. Example:

to be honest i do not remember, but specifically with the home base i feel like the writing does not fit starsector, in my opinion. specifically, each world by any faction usually has a description of it's history or current situation, political or otherwise.It's not on the station, I admit that but I did a ton of flavour and lore

the Nathantia- it costs 3 million credits, something nobody can afford untill end game, hell it is as expensive as 6 paragons!Freitag Corporation is a luxury brand and you pay a premium for their ships. I clearly state that in several descriptions and on the mod thread. You pay about 3-4 times the normal amount on Freitag ships to reflect that.
