Are they going to be competing or cooperating? If competing, you have a problem in that they will naturally separate and spread out through space. So you'll be dealing with them individually, and they'll be getting a rather small proportion of the action relevant to them - not to mention being hard on the GM that has to run different stuff for each of them.

If they are cooperating, then they need a coherent set of ships that can be used together to take advantage of opportunities. But it doesn't sound as if that's the plan.
