Comment on GRIPE: When I switch home-ships, all my display gear gets dumped together with everything else.

Yep, I set some stuff up one time and then swapped home ships only because I wanted to o steal and sell one, and you can't sell one without registering it, and you can't register it unless it's your home ship.
I can understand why they made it this way, to a certain extent, but Bethesda games are- even more than other modern games- a power fantasy of becoming the best of the best without compromise, and being unable to have persistent decoration or even multi-container storage across ships feels restricting and further disincentivizes having multiple ships even more than unlimited fuel already does.
I at least would like the option to register and sell ships without making them your home ship, so at least if you wanted a single ship decorated and with the storage you want, that you could keep it that way without making engagement with other mechanics and quest lines impossible.

Missed opportunity to sell to pirates like the Crimson Fleet without registering it. Unless that comes later and I just never got to that point in the game.
Pirates wouldn’t care if the ship was registered or not and would likely either use it for more pirating such as ships that can do missions without being officially tied to them or for parts like a chop shop.
I’ve found you only make like 1,000 credits after registering the ship and selling it. Money to be made, sure, but not enough to make it viable when registration is required. Unless you count the valuables in the shop to offload at vendors in person.

I don't believe you can sell a ship anywhere without registering. I haven't found a way or read about it anywhere. Registering a ship to sell is more of an economy balance thing, it lowers the amount you get back for selling.
Bethesda seems to have very deliberately removed most of the common get rich quick methods, like having tons of houses and apartments to rob and such, so registering before selling ensures you can make money off ships, but it won't give you end game money in two hours of grinding or anything.
That being said, they could've solved that issue in a more clever fashion than that.
