Okay I finally found the freespace manual online and I read the section on ranks and apparently your ranking gives you greater control over ships in the comns menu which I assume is just FREDed in and it also unlocks new ships for ship selection which could probably be done with the is_player_rank SEXP or whatever it is. However what if you wanted to do this in a multiplayer mission? How would having some players being able to select certain ships based on their rank work? Especially if the host is choosing? Would it at all be possible? I can see it adding some cool elements to the game play considering that I don't have D variants of each ship and some are just really big and really sweet.

It's not possible. In fact the whole thing about greater rank giving you more control was never implemented by the look of things.
In single player you can grant better ships to higher ranking players using this new feature (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,51837.0.html) and that SEXP you mentioned (Or you could simply lock everything and simply use the allow-ship SEXP to grant better ships). Won't work in multi though. Not yet at least.
