Just today noticed a sort of subtle effect reputation with faction(s) can have...

Attained "allied" with one of a system's factions, and from there on, all (outfitter) stations controlled by them expanded their outfitter products lists.

Very interesting. I`m currently at `Friendly` Status with Meliae and they already have an extensive hardware itinerary. I`ll keep on working at my rep with this faction and star system to see what else they have for sale.

I have also noticed that if your cargo hold increases so do the mission requirements and cargo details for those missions chage to reflcet your cargo hold somewhat.

That's cool. I just got Friendly with both Alliance and Federation. Now all factions for each are also friendly. Does that mean when I becomes an ally the same will go for all factions? If that's the case... Jackpot

i noticed this myself but thought i was imagining it, it's nice to have it confirmed. any extra ships as well? I've not checked the shipyard menu yet myself but it would be nice if my home station had a few more types available, it only has 6 now.

Available ship-types depend on the station you're on. Different stations provide differnt ship-types.

But at least the "Imperial Clipper" (Baron rank with Empire) and the "Federal Dropship" (Requires Federation rank of Ensign or higher) should be offered only to one with a minimum "fleet rank":

Yep, that's how it goes - main faction rep dictates the minimum rep level with sub-factions. They still have their own values (they might be e.g. neutral in reality) - but if the main faction holds you an Ally, so do the sub-factions.
