Request: Make special skins like the 0, 8, and Intel skins available for all fed ships

Just what the title says, it'd be awesome if this were available for all fed ships after purchase of AoY or a sporting Starship

My proposal for this is to put materials like this onto Shield Arrays and sell them through the Dilithium Store when the proper ship or ships are owned, now that we have the Visuals slots. I'm not sure how difficult that would be, but I know some Shields (Jem'Hadar, Breen, Nukara) are already exact copies of existing hull materials.

Hm... I'm torn. Part of me appreciates the exclusivity of those skins as it helps those ships to stand out. Another part likes the idea as it would be a nice way to represent 'fluff' (i.e. an Assimilated Assault Cruiser with a Liberated Borg captain using Cooperative technology on their ship) or to whet a 'What if?' (Excelsior-class or maybe NX-class with TOS materials).

All of me, however, supports dragonbrethren's proposal for adding Visual Materials to the game than can be used in the Visuals slots without necessarily being equipment. I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing a 'Vulcan' shield visual (affecting a ship's hull material, giving it a brown color) that could represent a ship being built at the 40 Eridani A Fleet Yards out of local materials.

Yeah, dragonbrethren's idea is probably the best. As far as exclusivity goes, I figure you could be the one to pay for the exclusivity via unlocking a certain set of ships or something
