I guess this has been discussed before, but I think it's not a bad idea to talk about it now that CCP keeps taking steps forward to popularize faction ships.
Years ago they were just eye candy, overpriced ships that were lightyears away from being cost-effective. Today, not only most of them are viable, they are becoming much more integrated to the game with the market changes.
So I think it's about time to fix the inconsistencies between the different pirate factions, and give every one of their ships an unique hull. As it stands now, the blood raiders look half-finished (I'm looking at you, bhaalgorn), the Guristas/serpentis are quite lame, while the Angel / Sansha have a lot of work on their unique designs.
If you agree with this, and to make this thread worthwhile of staying in General Discussion, let's discuss what looks you think these reworked ships should have. Ships with bunny ears for the guristas? Count me in!
On a related note, I found this Bhaalgorn art laying around... Do want

why should every pirate faction spend billions of credits and years designing spaceships when blueprints for already combat effective ships are available on the open market?

Well, some pirate factions did that, why not all of them?
The reused hulls aren't really that justified. The ship descriptions often include a "based on the XXX hull..." you could remove that part, leave the rest untouched, and it would make sense.

I can understand that they would base their pirate designs off of existing ships, but at least tack on some extra shiny bits :P
Like give the bagelhorn some giant ass energy zapper things or give the serpentis ships some dangerous look things and make em look cooler!!

It's not always in another factions best interest to design and create their own hulls.
You don't see Israel flying around in Israeli designed fighter jets, they like many other small countries (factions) buy from the big manufacturers (United States) and modify it for their purpose.

Different faction shave different backstories, hence different ship catalogues. Sansha were a complete empire of their own with their own technology etc before their fall. They have their own ship designs. The angels get most of their ship design from salvaging/retrofitting old Jove designs found in Curse. CCP couldn't be bothered making them bcs/dessies when they were introduced do they got the minmatar ones. The guristas stole caldari ship designs and are led by ex caldari military, they design some of their their own ships but the caldari navy copies them (tinfoil). Serpentis are a rogue gallente corporation, with deep ties still in the federation. The real question is why they don't have angel ships as their military are the gaurdian angels hired from the cartel. The blood raiders are mad ass amarr cultists, i guess factioning up the bhalgorn to match cruor would be nice.
You will notice the big powerful pirate factions (sansha, angel) who have large territories and major infrastructure have their own ship designs while the smaller rogue pirate factions (bloods, serpentis) who have small territories and limited infrastructure are more limited.

This. Most of them are blatantly stolen designs, if you'd bother to read the descriptions.
Pirates don't build their own ships anyway.

I'd like to see more ships for various factions in general, like Sisters of EVE ships, more ORE ships, maybe T1 ships from companies like Roden or CreoDron, etc. I think more diversification from the four main empires is good.
Basically, I want a lot more ship variety.

The factions that do according to game lore are rich as hell wile Serpentis are nothing more than subcontracted employees of the Angels and Guristas are just a rebel faction.
