You also have to take into account that we have only seen a fraction of the amount of ships they are making, and are currently working on. Even thought they are incredibly open about the production of the game, I'm sure there are many ships they are working on that are just not ready to be shown. And in 2 years or so they will have so many more. If you look at the ship specs page there are already ships there with names and no pictures.
The Constellation, for example, doesn't look like it will be doing much, if any, atmospheric flight.
