I actually think it would be a great idea if you had to join a crew first and earn your way to a ship. It would certainly make people more comfortable with the idea of multiplayer, plus you would get to know the ships better.
How cool would it be to start as an engineer and build that skill up so that when you get your own ship you can fix your ship faster and cheaper.
Or be a gunner and get skill points on your accuracy.
Or be part of a boarding party and get a multiplier on earning money.
It would be a great way to start the game and get comfortable in that world.
Plus if a member of the "Crew" wrongs you, you might run into that ship and crew later and take a little joy in the kill.
